I’ve lived in Philly for a short period of time in 2020 as an au pair, unfortunately my experience didn’t had a happy ending but I must say that my happier days were in this dog park with my host family’s dog! I used to go there every afternoon, it became my comfort place, and I’ve collected so many good memories! I really hope I can comeback one day 💕
My dog loves this park. It’s definitely one of the better ones I’ve taken her to. Everyone is so friendly and they actually pay attention to their dog(s)’ behavior, which is great. There are materials provided to clean up after your dog, and the park is very clean as a result. 10/10, would take Mochi again.
Great park. Astroturf, lots of shaded seating, water, poop bags, trash cans in park, tennis balls, aware owners, double gate, free and open to public. Some cons: limited parking, kind of stinky, no separation for large and small dogs. Outer gate 6ft inner gate 4 feet.
Sadly not very inclusive of all community members 😕 Local vets are now recommending waiting up to 1-2 years of age before neutering dogs to help prevent various cancers as well as joint and bone issues. Additionally, modern research has shown that it’s actually neutered dogs that are more aggressive. Tried reaching out to the board to ask for a compromise where un-neutered dogs could go to the park during certain hours of the day. Unfortunately, nothing changed. Odd for a “community” park to exclude community members who are following the advice of local medical professionals. Other dog parks in the city actually allow un-neutered dogs all the time, I was just asking for a middle ground of certain hours
This our dog’s and our family’s favorite dog park in South Philadelphia. It offers a large, mulched area for dogs to romp off leash and a secure, 2-step metal gate to enter. It’s the only dog park we’ve visited that also has a separate gated area for small or timid dogs to relax off leash. There are free poop bags, lots of trash containers and multiple benches for pet parents to hang out. They even provide tennis balls and ball tossers to use. In season, there is a dog water fountain, and they sometimes run an oscillating sprinkler (our dog was not a fan ). The park is free and open to all, but regular users are encouraged to pay a voluntary NULL annual membership fee for park maintenance. The park receives no funds from the city. There is a paid parking garage across the street. The Dog Park is accessible 24/7, but realize that the lighting from the adjacent playground is dim if you visit at night. Children are not allowed in the dog park, but there is an adjacent playground. We come before 6am in the winter and our dog has the park to himself. Other dog owners are good at watching their dogs and monitoring for any signs of stress/aggression. Have never had a problem with other dogs here.
