This is a rather large dog park with plenty of room for the pups to run. There is also a short trail through some woods. The park has 3 sections, one for small dogs and two for larger dogs. Only one of the two are open at a time. It is totally safe for your dogs, as it is totally fenced in. There are poopy bags at the double gates and trash cans. The double gates give you an area to unleash or leash your dog. I wouldn't bring a puppy less than 6 months old and make sure it can get a long with other dogs.

4.5 based on 28 reviews
Located in downtown Morristown, N.J., Macculloch Hall has been part of the local community for over 200 years, first as the home to community-minded residents, George and Louisa Macculloch (1775-1858, 1785-1863), and since 1950, as a not-for-profit museum and garden. Founder W. Parsons Todd (1877-1976) endowed MHHM as a resource for all Morristown and Morris County residents. A Federal brick mansion, Macculloch Hall was built in 1810 by George Perrott Macculloch (1775-1858), the "Father of the Morris Canal." Today this historic house and decorative arts museum comprises nine period rooms, two exhibition galleries, a dedicated classroom, and an expansive formal garden, which is open to the public free of charge.

I discovered this place in 2019 and wanted to go back in the spring, so glad I did! The flowering trees and all the daffodils were beautiful! Definitely a nice place for a walk to quiet place to sit and look at all the beauty.

Over the years ,I have brought many birds to the Raptor trust,,..and I totally love this place,,,I recently brought a bird that when I turned him in he was already DOA,,, He had a cranial bleed,,..I love all animals minus a few select spiders,,and I try to save everything,,so needless to say..I was really upset when they told me he was deceased,,nothing would have saved this bird,,he had flown into something and had a bump on his head,,..they do wonderous work..and I appreciate them greatly....I made it a point on this particular trip to learn as much as possible how to care for baby birds if I can;t get to the trust,,a worthwhile trip,,

COVID-19 has taught me to appreciate our county parks more than ever and I don’t take things for granted like I used too. So as the parks are reopening with restrictions enjoy the beauty you can find within them, practice safe distancing and wear a mask as we do when walking the trails while looking at what nature has to offer.

This park holds a special place in my heart. My husband and I would routinely go there when we dated, especially in the fall. Both of our dogs loved walking the Tourne! The Red trail is the longest of the trails, and it intersects with all the other trails. I’ve run into bear on a number of occasions, but since I added a bear bell to my dog/walking stick, I haven’t see any. Black bears are cool to look at, but I rather not bother them. What’s especially nice is the Tourne takes on a new look each season. Extend your walk through Birchwood/Wilcox Park. The Wildflower trail is an easy stroll (no dogs allowed). In spring, summer, and fall, don’t forget your bug spray. Now that we are retired, we walk through the park regularly!

We took a guided tour and enjoyed everything! We didn't spend much time in the main building, so went back to look at some of the displays. There's too much to read for just a one or two hour visit. You must have a guide to go into the historic house, and the stairways are steep and narrow. Definitely not ADA approved! Lots of original beds, paperwork, kitchen appliances and more. Well worth the time.
