Dog waste removal in Linwood

Linwood, from a dog owner's point of view.

Linwood is a 4 square mile city about 9 miles west of Atlantic City, bounded by Northfield, Egg Harbor Township and Somers Point. The city describes itself as primarily residential. It says it is widely known for African violets grown at Fischer Farms and orchids from Brighton Farms.

Linwood's zoning code sets minimum lot sizes of 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 square feet in its R-10, R-15 and R-20 single-family detached zones. The city also operates about 36 acres of parks plus a bicycle path system of nearly 33 acres. Privately owned facilities include a golf course and a swimming and tennis club.

Much of Linwood was once farmland. Between 1880 and 1940, its farms supplied many of Atlantic City's major hotels, and housing booms that began after World War I slowly replaced the fields. Writing in 1987, city historian James B. Kirk noted that most of the natural landscape was gone except for stretches along Patcong Creek and Scull Bay.

Where Linwood dogs play.

Parks, trails and dog runs in and around town, from the town's and county's own pages.

George K. Francis Bikeway (Linwood Bike Path)
This 2.48 mile shared-use path beside Wabash Avenue is Linwood's segment of the bike path linking Pleasantville, Northfield, Linwood and Somers Point. A December 2025 Rutgers student planning study for the city observed many dog owners using it. The city's Share the Path brochure asks path users to keep pets leashed and close, and not out on an extended leash when others are trying to pass.
Linwood Arboretum
1410 Wabash Avenue
This arboretum of less than an acre is open 24 hours and asks visitors to keep dogs leashed and let them urinate before entering, because canine urine harms many plants. Its water fountain includes a dog-friendly bowl.
All Wars Memorial Park
Leave dogs at home when visiting this park. The city's rules for it ban all animals, including dogs, cats and other pets.

Good neighbors

Linwood's pick-up rules.

Curb your dog (Section 86-14)
On public streets and sidewalks, a dog must be curbed so it does not damage gardens, lawns, shrubs or trees. It may not defecate or urinate on any lawn, sidewalk, bike path, play area, park or other public property, or on private property without the owner's permission.
Remove, carry and seal (Sections 86-15 to 86-18)
Anyone owning or in charge of a dog must immediately remove its feces from those places by a sanitary method. They must carry a pooch scoop or other approved disposal method whenever the dog is on public property, and dispose of the waste in a sealed, nonabsorbent, leakproof container. Section 86-17 exempts blind people who rely on guide dogs.
Leash of 6 feet or less (Section 86-1)
No dog may run at large in Linwood. The code counts a dog as running at large when it is off its owner's property without a leash or restraint of 6 feet or less.

Why it matters here

Tidal water borders Linwood on both sides. Patcong Creek, a tributary of the Great Egg Harbor River, borders western Linwood, and the eastern section holds large marshes along Scull Bay. City flood information says stormwater from upland Linwood drains to these waterways, leaving them and their wetlands open to pollution. It asks residents not to dump pet or yard waste into city drainpipes. The city's stormwater page adds that storm drains usually connect to local water without treatment. A 2026 city notice counts more than 500 stormwater basins in town.

A little local history

Linwood, then and now.

1695
Thomas Budd sold large tracts along Patcong Creek to 7 men, including John Somers and John Skull. All of the Skull property lies within today's Linwood, and Mainland Regional High School sits on part of that site.
1796
Christopher VanSant built a brig on the banks of Patcong Creek. The Somers and VanSant families built ships along the creek until the Patcong Bridge, built in 1819, eventually forced the yards to move to Somers Point.
1880
Because New Jersey already had another Leedsville, the Post Office Department asked residents to rename the village. Meeting in the Poplar Avenue schoolhouse, they chose Linwood over names such as Brinola, Geneva, Pearville and Viola.
1889
Linwood split from Egg Harbor Township as a borough on February 20, 1889, with more than 500 residents. It was reincorporated as a city on April 27, 1931.
1907
The Shore Fast Line trolley was built on a right-of-way west of Shore Road, linking Atlantic City and Ocean City. Part of the old route now carries the George K. Francis Bikeway, named for Linwood's mayor from 1952 to 1971.

Around town

Things to do in Linwood.

Linwood Arboretum
The arboretum grew out of a City Council proposal in April 2007 for a former electrical substation site across from Belhaven Middle School. Volunteers planted more than 200 trees and shrubs there in September 2009, and the collection focuses on uncommon woody plants suited to home landscaping.
Leedsville Schoolhouse Museum
Built in 1873 as a one-room school at 16 West Poplar Avenue, the building has served as a school, town hall and library. The Linwood Historical Society now runs it as a museum, with old toys and games, wooden tools and decoys, and exhibits on mill pond skating, ice fishing and local dairy and produce farms.
Seaview Avenue and Hamilton Avenue boat ramps
The city operates a boat ramp with a dock on Scull's Bay at Seaview Avenue and another ramp on Patcong Creek at Hamilton Avenue. A city parking permit is required at both.

Frequently asked

Linwood questions, answered.

Does Linwood have a pooper scooper law?

Yes, Chapter 86 of the Linwood city code requires anyone in charge of a dog to immediately remove its waste from sidewalks, streets, the bike path, parks, play areas and other public property. The city's stormwater page points residents to the same chapter.

Do I have to carry a scoop or bag when I walk my dog in Linwood?

Yes, Section 86-18 of the Linwood code says the person in charge of a dog must have a pooch scoop or other approved disposal method along whenever the dog is on public property. The city's stormwater page suggests newspapers, paper bags or pooper scoopers.

Can I walk my dog on the Linwood bike path?

Yes, dog walkers share the Linwood Bike Path with pedestrians, joggers and cyclists, and the city asks owners to keep pets on a leash and close by. Linwood's code also requires owners to pick up dog waste on the bike path.

Are dogs allowed in All Wars Memorial Park?

No, Linwood's rules for All Wars Memorial Park make it unlawful to bring any animals into the park, including dogs, cats and other pets.

How should I throw away dog waste in Linwood?

Linwood's code says dog waste must go in a sealed, nonabsorbent, leakproof container, and the city's stormwater page says wrapped pet waste belongs in the trash. That page also asks residents not to wrap pet waste in non-biodegradable plastic bags and never to put it in a storm drain.

Why does Linwood care where dog waste ends up?

Linwood's upland stormwater drains to its tidal waterways, Patcong Creek and the marshes along Scull Bay. City flood information asks residents not to dump pet or yard waste into city drainpipes.
