Pierre De Coubertin Fenced Dog Park sits on Avenue of Oceania in Newington, split into three separate fenced pens so dogs of different sizes and temperaments don’t have to share one yard. That separation is the main reason to visit: you can let your dog off the lead without worrying about who else is in the enclosure with them.
