Towers Park

Not a bad dog park. This is close to Ft. Myer & we were in the neighborhood so we thought we would stop by. It backs up to the tennis courts, so dogs generally get free tennis balls 😆 small, but clean. Lots of trees for shade. Not a ton of parking.

Lovely dog park with plenty of free tennis balls knocked over the fence from the tennis courts. It has a separate fenced area for small dogs or dogs who need their own space for whatever reason. Also lit up at night up until 11pm. We hear it’s busiest around 7a-8a weekday mornings.

One of my favorite parks in the DMV. They have some really nice tennis courts with lights, a volleyball court, a dog park, and a bike path right next to it. Definitely would recommend visiting for walking your dog, playing tennis, or just hanging out in the sun.

This is a review for the dog park only.

I’ve been taking my 6.5 month puppy here for the past 2 months without much issues. I’ve seen a few fights break out but they never escalated too much, owners are quick to intervene. My puppy has gotten herself into a few fights (some dogs don’t like her) but again, owners are quick to intervene and most of the dogs here are very well-behaved. There is always a dog or two that resource guards, which I don’t understand (why bring your dog here if they clearly have RG issues? Unsafe! This dog park is littered with tennis balls and some people bring and leave toys here) My puppy loves this park despite a few scary experiences. I’ll continue to watch her like a hawk in the park until I know she can handle herself better and doesn’t become an easy target due to her age and size, but despite the faults that come with all dog parks I like this place the best. Yes unfortunately some owners don’t pick up after their dogs and the outskirts grass area has lots of dog poop that’s long dried up. Didn’t see it when it happened or ignored it, who knows. I’ve seen one owner purposely ignore their own dog’s poop (they clearly saw it happen, I was watching) and just leash him up and leave after before, so it happens. I’ve tried out many dog parks in the area and this one is the one I always come back to, and the one my puppy feels at most ease with. Just be aware of what’s good and bad. Always a fun day when she goes to the park.

Still love this park. She had a good time today in the snow. Rarely are there any issues with other dogs or owners.

Very happy with Towers Dog Park. Very clean, has evening lighting, several park benches and tables, secure in and out access for your dog, people are friendly here. Enough room for you pup to get a good run and go, ground cover is sand, grass.
The fence line is secure also, there are no gaps for your dog to sneak through.
