Located conveniently at 2101 E Hazzard St, Pops Dogs is a dog park in Philadelphia designed with both pets and their owners in mind. The park is fully covered in turf, making it a great choice for year-round outings without worrying about muddy paws, even after rainy weather. Visitors note that it’s a pet-friendly space featuring an assortment of amenities aimed at making every visit enjoyable and stress-free for you and your four-legged friends.
This Philadelphia dog park offers thoughtful features such as available toys, water bowls and a hose, as well as provided poop bags if you forget your own. The vibe is generally friendly due to the regulars, though it can be crowded at peak times. While Pops Dogs is best suited to small and medium-sized dogs because of its limited space, the convenient location and amenities ensure dogs have a safe, off-leash environment to socialize and play. Always keep a watchful eye on your pup to ensure everyone enjoys the park safely!
It’s a nice dog park. Some of these reviews are wild though. It’s a dog park, the pups will jump, bark, play, and urinate. Don’t go to a dog park if that’s bothers you.
That said, I’ve seen some really bad dog owners as well. But that’s going to happen at literally any park. Just keep an eye on your pup as you would anywhere and they’ll have a blast.
Don’t bring your dog here it is unsafe, I had a poorly trained Shepard take a 2.5 inch strip of skin off my dog’s head as well as nearly taking his eye out. He now has a permanent scar reminding me of this.
When I said something to the woman owner about it, the unrelated regular( hispanic man who is about 5’8 with 3 pitts with cropped ears) threatened my life. All because I was “being disrespectful to a woman”. I never got payment information.
I spent 4 hours at the emergency vet with my dog bleeding in my arms waiting for stitches.
I have to see this man every day now that he brings his dogs, there is no recourse. Save your family members and yourself the undue stress. You aren’t safe here.
Awful. It’s only large enough for small dogs. It’s always over crowded (more than 15 dogs in that tiny space) and the owners pay no attention to their dogs. They let their dogs bark non stop (often at passerby with no reprimand) while they stare at their phones. The place also smells horrible once it’s humid out. IMO, it should have never been turned into a dog park and should have remained part of the kids playground.
Our dogs had a great time. Still getting to know the others but those we have met have been very friendly😊
Pops Dogs is one of the nicest dog parks in the area. It is fully covered in turf so our pup doesn’t get too dirty even on rainy days. There are toys, water bowls & a hose, and poop bags in case you forgot them. They have everything you need for a successful outing with your dog.
