Bethel Dog Park
Bethel Dog Park is a recently renovated, secure, and welcoming park offering a large L-shaped area and a smaller fenced section for dogs under 30 lbs. It is known for being great for larger breeds like pitbulls, Dobermans, and Rottweilers, with areas for off-leash running and play. The park features wheelchair accessible parking, seating benches, and access to hiking trails around the perimeter. It provides a friendly environment with sociable pet owners and amenities like poop bags, though it lacks running water and substantial shade. The park also has a playground and swings, making it a pleasant place for families with children.

The gentleman that owns the goats is so nice as well as the lady with the horses! Every time I take my dog there people are very sociable! And they even provide poop bags so you can pick your dog’s poop up because it’s a law in Pennsylvania!
Yesterday afternoon I took my dog to this beautiful park. We’ve had the pleasure of finding this place recently and have been about three or four times. She suddenly passed away last night. May angels rest her beautiful soul. This place is one of the last memories I have with her. Each time has been a pleasurable experience. Filled with joy, many fury friends, beautiful animals, friendly people, and a lovely open view. This place will always have a place in my heart. I’d recommend it for anyone that wants to bring their four legged companion to meet other friendly doggies. The area is nice and although it isn’t the biggest park it certainly isn’t small. There is maybe close to a mile of space following the path all the way around. I’m grateful I’ve gotten the chance to share this place with my loving doggy, Mimi. I hope others get the chance to do so too. Give it a try it’s lovely and also pretty calm on the week days Mon-thurs.
newly “renovated” in 2024 to move both off-leash areas away from the old horse stables. good, tall, secure fence and double gate. they installed a few park benches for pet parents to sit. the surrounding land is also nice walking loop.
Nice place to go for your dog to simply run free in a safe, fenced area. I haven’t figured out when other dogs may be there, so be prepared to entertain your dog yourself rather than letting them play with another dog.
UPDATE: the dog park has been completely redone. It is now up to the parking lot and the gates open on the parking lot side. The fences are higher and the two sides are now different sizes — a very large, L-shaped area and a smaller square area. The smaller area is posted for dogs under 30#.
A great place for pitbulls, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. If your dog likes to wrestle or play tug of war, this is a great park for them. Not recommended for owners who are not comfortable with those types of play.
However, be aware that there’s no running water and very limited shade. I also wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who is uncomfortable with the breeds I mentioned above, or larger dogs. The ratio is probably 10:1 for large dogs to small dogs.
