I’m so excited about Fox Chapel Borough Parks commitment to stream bank protections and native plantings. Fifty Buttonbush, twenty-five Ninebark and twenty-five Winterberries planted over the weekend will help with erosion control, while contributing benefits to pollinators, birds and wildlife. The tree protection tubes act as little greenhouses during root establishment in the first few years of growth. The plants are densely planted to establish a durable network of roots to help prevent future wash outs of the trail. Great park for off leash fun. Very popular Park, great fall color this time of year, and much loved by area dogs. Many hands working together makes for beautiful community spaces! Thank you to our park volunteers, Parks Commissioner Carrie Casey, Councilmember Mandy Steele and a special thank you to Sanford Leuba for the plant donations as part of the Pennsylvania 10 Million Trees initiative and in celebration of Reparian Buffer Month (October).
A large off-leash park with a creek running through it. You can easily stay on flat wide trails, or you can hike some narrower trails with a bit of a climb.
Everyone I encountered was very friendly, dogs and humans.
Expect your dog to get wet and muddy!
I hesitate to say great things because I don’t want to attract riff raff. If you have a friendly dog and want to get them some off-leash time, this place is great. There’s a creek they can swim in, and trails everywhere. There’s even trash cans.
It feels more like trails in a forest than a dog park, but that’s what is great about it.
If I had to nitpick, it would be that everyone seems to be on a mission and doesn’t actually just “hang out”.
Instead.of just sitting down and letting their dogs play, they’re always in a hurry to get somewhere.
Despite that, amazing place. Very well maintained.
Wonderful off leash dog trails! There is a parking lot across the street. If you prefer a flat gravel/grass trail go straight or to the left when you enter the gate. If you prefer some hills follow the trail labeled with the green arrow on the right. The trails connect for a loop that is about 2.5 miles.
As long as your dog won’t run away off leash this is the best dog park for many miles. Nice scenic hiking trails, as well as a meadow, little waterfall, and creeks for dogs to play in.
