🐾 Kids at the Dog Park: Real Stories, Safety Risks & Smarter Solutions

Lovettsville Community Dog Park is a standout dog park in Lovettsville, Virginia, known for its excellent design and ample amenities for both dogs and their owners. The park features two separate fenced off-leash areas, sturdy six-foot chain-link fencing, and double-gated entries for convenience and extra safety. Dog lovers will appreciate the obstacle course style agility equipment, making this park a favorite for active pups. Benches with umbrellas provide seating for pet parents, and the dedicated restroom facilities are just a short walk from the parking lot, making visits comfortable for everyone.
What makes this dog-friendly destination popular is its thoughtful setup: water pump access is located just outside the dog park gates, waste stations with poop bags and trash cans are conveniently inside each fenced area, and an easy-access parking lot serves both the park and other amenities on site. The adjacent walking trail offers extra options for pet-friendly hiking and exercise. While the park currently lacks natural shade within the fenced areas, umbrella-shaded benches help provide relief. For anyone searching for an all-in-one dog park in Northern Virginia, Lovettsville Community Dog Park is a can’t-miss spot.
It’s pretty nice for my pups….
Excellently designed large-in-size dog park with almost everything!
1) A community announcement board and honest to god restrooms are located at the parking area for the dog park/amphitheater complex which is only a short walk from the parking area.
2) Walking trail adjacent to the parking area.
3) Water pump located beside the dog park.
4) Poop bags and trash cans located inside both fenced areas.
5) Two different as yet unlabeled fenced in off-leash areas.
6) Obstacle course style features.
7) Benches with umbrellas for doggy parents.
8) Well built epoxied steel chain link fencing – 6 feet tall I believe.
9) Excellent entry gates make it easy to enter and exit the fenced in portions.
The only knocks are:
1) The dog park’s water supply is located outside the off leash fenced area (though only steps from the gates).
2) There are no trees in the fenced park for doggy-centric shade.
Of the knocks, only the lack of trees is a major issue.
This place is great.
