Horsham Dog Park is a popular spot for dog owners looking for a safe, clean, and welcoming environment in northern Montgomery County. Tucked away in the woods within a larger public park, this dog park offers plenty of shady areas, picnic tables, and separate fenced sections for small and large dogs. The park stands out for its accessibility, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking, along with convenient paved paths and public restrooms nearby. There is no fee or membership required to visit—making it perfect for both local residents and those looking for a hassle-free, pet-friendly destination.
Features include a double-gated entrance for safety, dog-friendly water fountains, and benches for owners to relax while their dogs play. Surrounding the dog park are dog-friendly hiking trails and a pond, offering extended play and adventure for pups who love water. The nearby playground and picnic areas make it a great option for families as well. Horsham Dog Park is a community favorite for its well-maintained grounds, easy access, and scenic setting among the trees.
Large dog park with lots of room to run and play. Seperate sides for large and small dogs. There is a double gate entrance. Both sides have a water fountain for the dogs and a hose. There are a few benches also. We’ve been going somewhat regularly for a few months now and the people and dogs have all been friendly. The community park the dog park is located within is nice with some mostly shaded walking trails (which also connect to powerline trail). There is also a nice creek dogs can play in just outside the dog park.
A very nice dog park. Very spacious, shady & fenced in completely. The park itself is very beautiful & well kept. The dog park is tucked away from the rest of the park & quiet. There are two separate areas for small & big dogs, water area and lots of benches.
We were recommended this park by someone and we saw it highly rated and thought we’d give it a try since we aren’t too far away from it. We won’t be back though. While the grounds are beautiful and clean, we didn’t feel very welcomed and felt uncomfortable. My puppy is a small breed, 1yo, and in the small enclosure, but everyone, including those who had dogs in similar size to ours, still went over into the Large enclosure, I guess where they felt more “comfortable” with people who looked like them. My poor pup just sat there by himself at the gate watching and wagging his tail. People just didn’t seem all that warm towards us despite my smiling and saying hello. It just felt off. Needless to say we’ll be looking for a more diverse dog park where owners also look like me. It’s a shame that WE make others feel welcome in our spaces yet when we’re in theirs we’re treated not so welcoming.
Was visiting my family in PA and found this dog park which wasn’t too far from where they live. They have two sections divided for small (under 30lbs) vs large dogs. When we got there, there were only 2 dogs in the small section but I’m sure they were not under 30lbs and kept jumping on us which resulted in scratching my leg. Luckily the owners noticed the dog’s behavior and left. My pup was the only one in there and she absolutely loved it. A great way to burn that puppy energy. The park is very clean and also has a water fountain for dogs to drink from. Will definitely be back when the weather gets warmer.
This is my favorite dog park in the northern Montgomery County, PA area.
— It’s large and the chips are fresh.
— There’s a pretty pond with a fountain, a playground + restrooms in the park that contains the dog park.
— There are two areas : one for dogs under 25lbs & the other for bigger dogs.
— In the summer there’s running water.
— It’s free to use! No membership!
Directions: Exit the parking lot of Kohler Park in Horsham on foot on the left side of the pond. Walk straight back, past the swings and the restrooms, about 1/3 mi. You’ll see the dog park in the woods on your right.
