Bernard Dog Run is a spacious fenced dog park located along the riverwalk in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh. The park features separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, providing a safe and social environment for pets to run and play. The area offers shaded spots from surrounding trees, water access for dogs, and is nestled alongside a scenic trail with beautiful views, especially at sunset. While parking is available nearby, access to the park gate can be a bit tricky and may require a short hike from the trail. The dog park is popular, particularly in the evenings, and it is well-maintained with a sturdy fence and fresh hay to keep mud down. Visitors should bring their own dog waste bags as these are not provided on site.

Nice sized dog park/run in Lawrenceville. Right on the river walk so during the warmer weather the view will be beautiful. There are trees on the outside of the fence to provide shade and the fence itself is in great condition and about 5 feet tall. There’s a separate fenced-in area for large dogs if needed and there was fresh hay laid throughout both runs to try to keep the mud to a minimum.

Plenty of room for dogs to run. Google directions got me close but not to the parking lot.

Great dog park in Lawrenceville. Owners are knowledgeable and aware of their dogs almost always. It does get pretty busy from 5-7 so avoid those hours if your pup gets nervous around a lot of dogs.

Nice fenced place for the pups to run and socialize with each other. The area is a rectangular space between the river and the railroad, the entrance is a little tricky to find. We parked directly next to where the dog park is on Google map, crossed the railroad and walked through dirt road to get to the gate. But this is actually the shortcut, and I assume you should access it from the trail next to it, but the trailhead would be under the bridge on 40 or 43 street so it would be a short hike.
The trail by the dog park is nice, sunset view is amazing.

I like this dog park. There is a small dog side and a big dog side. It’s wooded, and shaded in parts. Right along the trail. It has water, too. The only negative I can say is I didn’t see bags to clean up with. So, bring your own.
