A gravel field. The dogs loved it, but it’s a little light on amenities (eg only 2/3 shade trees, 1-2 picnic tables, and no running water).
Great Dog park. It’s a large area about 1.5 to 2 acres in size. Covered with fine gravel and gravel dust. No grass. A few picnic benches and several park benches. The regular owners tend to keep up after their dogs. The two skirmishes I saw were dealt quickly by their owners. The rest of the time, the dogs simply chase each other around or lay about.
🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶Dog lovers….alert alert alert. In Northern Va its another beautiful dog park and walking trail designated areas. Even gorgeous walking trails in the covered canopy mini forests. Great day to go to a park if you are looking for open space and shaded paths to walk on with your dog or just people. Many places spread around to enjoy at multiple shaded and nice picnic areas. Dog park is mostly sun filled . no water fountain or hoses . BRING YOUR OWN JUG OR WATER HOLDING DEVICES. My dog had a good first experience and I think your dog will as well 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
Beautiful and large park with a great mix of shade, seating, grassy areas, and gravel. Owners were all attentive and courteous. No water fountains, although plenty of bowls, so make sure to bring some water with you.
Great group of regulars that come, no fights for the most part, pretty well kept, and plenty of seating. Not glamorous by any means but a great space for your dog to run around (and right by a shaded trail!). No hose or spout for water but plenty of water bowls so bring your own water.
