Love this place‼️

Great family atmosphere and multiple areas for the kids to enjoy. Limited shade cover does mean most people congregate under the few trees on site but the water sprinkler area is a great way to beat the heat! Lots of fun for younger children.

Great place with soccer fields, hiking trails, and lots of places to take your kids to have fun. The train and views of the Hudson River are marvelous also.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Bill Daly | Sep 25, 2019
Nekisha Florence | Sep 25, 2019

During the week if you arrive by 1 or 2 you should be able to grab a table. Don't forget her swimsuit and water shoes. They have a sprinkler system for the little ones. Oh and bug spray. Lots of deer tick in the area.

You only need to reserve space for The Pavilions those are those open house structures with tables underneath. In some parks you need to tell the officials if you're going to have more than 25 people I don't know about Bowdoin Park.

Is there an off leash area for dogs or it's just a dog friendly park?

Powdered-Toast Man | Sep 25, 2019
Laurence H | Sep 24, 2020

There is no off leash area for dogs. Bowdoin requires all dogs to be on a 6 ft leash at all times including on the trails. This is for the safety and courtesy of all the patrons who want to enjoy this wonderful park without concern of an off leash dog.
