🐾 How to Handle Aggressive Dogs at the Dog Park – Real Advice from Dog Owners
Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
Green Tree Dog Park, located at 905 Greentree Rd in Pittsburgh, is a residents-only dog park that provides a secure, clean, and peaceful space for local pet owners. This fenced-in area is only accessible to Greentree residents who complete an application, pay a deposit, and have their dog pass a behavioral study, ensuring a safe experience for friendly and well-trained dogs. The park’s exclusivity keeps it quiet, rarely crowded, and safe, making it a hidden gem for those who qualify for access.
While the park is on the smaller side and situated near a major highway, its limited access means it remains uncrowded even during weekends, often having just a couple of dogs at a time. The park is fully fenced, offering peace of mind for off-leash play. If you’re a Green Tree resident searching for a private and well-maintained dog park in the Pittsburgh area, this spot might be ideal for you and your pup—even if amenities are basic compared to larger, public parks.
I have had numerous dogs. Don’t have one now but use the walking path past this place often. I also believe I read dog park it is for Greentree resident use.
Overall a nice, clean, fully fenced in dog park. It’s never super crowded either, 2 or 3 dogs at one time is busy. If I had a dog and had access I would use often. Some dog owners feel the same way. I see the same dogs and owners in park often. Have said in my overall park review, location is a pretty safe for all and is a generally nice area. Dog Park is a nice size but not super large. Size is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Other than that it’s gets 5.
Users must be Green Tree residents, must complete an application, provide a deposit, and the dogs must pass camp bow wow behavioral study before use of this park.
This is the most restrictions I’ve seen of any open-air dog park in the Pittsburgh area. And, not surprisingly, the area is completely empty on Saturday afternoon.
Very small, only a dozen yards or so from a loud major highway. Gate is locked and can only be opened with Greentree resident ID card. Dogs are not allowed elsewhere in the park. If you’re an “outsider” with a dog, don’t waste your time. Never even heard of anything like this. Curious how this rule heavy, restrictive setup came to be.
The rules are ridiculous!
I didn’t know that dogs weren’t allowed anywhere else and now looking back; I see why people were eying me.
Either way, this dog park sucks. I wouldn’t advise anyone to go there.
I was looking for a nice park to take my dog that wasn’t a small forgotten area in the corner of a park. However, after reading the reviews, I was surprised to find out you have to reside in Greentree, pay a membership fee, and take your dog to training before you can use the park. It’s a step up from a few other doggy litter boxes but it’s not that special. A little prejudice Greentree?? Keep your park.
