Love this park! Great resource for the area. There are actually three in Rochester - this one is an Ellison Park. The other two are in Henrietta and Greece.
It should be noted that a lot of the negative reviews are complaints about the fee for each dog on the Greece dog park listing. Yes, your tax dollars help to make the park possible, but as the number of dogs increase, the number of tax dollars don't! Each person who uses the park is adding work for the park rangers and the people who keep it clean and safe for our dogs. Compared to other cities with much higher fees (I've seen ones as expensive as $150 per year!) Rochester is a great deal. You get access to all three parks year round where there is plenty of room for all dogs to play and get great exercise.
HOW DO I REGISTER MY DOG(S)? All owners must register their dogs with the Monroe County Department of Parks. Permits are not prorated and expire December 31 of the current permit year. There are TWO ways to register:
Dogs must be at least 6 months of age to qualify to register.

. We can accept cash, checks and credit cards, there is plenty of free, off street parking, and we can make copies of your licensing documents.
You will need a current copy of your dog(s) license with current address, a copy of current Rabies Certificate, completed permit, and a signed Acknowledgement, Agreement, and Release form. Permit and Acknowledgement, Agreement, and Release forms are available only where you register.
