🐾 How to Handle Aggressive Dogs at the Dog Park – Real Advice from Dog Owners
Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
Southside Works Dog Park is a welcoming urban dog park located in Pittsburgh, PA. It offers a fenced area where dogs can enjoy off-leash playtime. The park provides seating for owners and some shaded areas. There are trash bins available to help keep the park clean. Convenient parking nearby makes it easy to visit with your furry friend.
I live 45 mins away & have a dog park right by me but prefer the drive for this one. I have a 6 month old energetic pitbull and usually at the place near me, people are ignorant and leave when they see a pit. At this park everyone is friendly and doesn’t discriminate against the breed. My Dior loves it here!
went on a weekend trip and this dog park was great. good beer and very nice people. unfortunately came home and my dog has contracted kennel cough. please be aware and cautious when taking your dog to an open park
The dog park is always being used and is well-maintained although the dog bags could be refilled a little more often. Always see people here using the dog park especially on the weekends when they are doing events with pins mechanical company across the street and Hollywood feed on the other side of Southside Works town Square.
Very nice and convenient. It has three different sections of park; small area, regular area and an area where the owners can grab a beer. Not to mention there is an area (leash only) next to it where you can bring your dog.
However, make sure you bring your own dog poop bags the park is always out of those.
A year ago, this place was great. But now, it clearly shows a lack of maintenance—it feels almost abandoned. There’s mud everywhere, and where there used to be grassy areas, it’s just dirt now. Since the heavy rain and wind last season, the wood chips have never been replaced, so the park stays extremely muddy.
Two recurring issues with park users: many dog owners don’t pick up after their pets (even though there are plenty of bag stations always stocked), and some people use the dog water fountain area to give their dogs a full-on bath.
It’s a shame, because this used to be one of the best spots in the area.
