					If you’re looking for a beautiful, spacious dog park in Ridgway, Pennsylvania, Sandy Beach Park is a local favorite for families and pet owners alike. Set against the scenic backdrop of the National Allegheny Forest, this park features a fenced-in dog park where pups can run and play safely. Owners and their furry friends also enjoy wide-open spaces, pet-friendly trails, a calm creek, and a charming pond, making it perfect for those who love dog-friendly hiking and nature walks.

The park’s tranquil atmosphere, abundance of shade from towering trees, and opportunities for wildlife spotting make it a unique and inviting destination for the whole family—both two- and four-legged members!

Beautiful park on the outskirts of Ridgway, nestled up against the National Allegheny Forest! It’s an absolute beautiful park with lots to do a see. A fenced in dog park with plenty of space for the dog to run and maybe make a friend. Beautiful walking paths and a cute little pond. Also a creek runs through the edge of the park and it’s surrounded by massive beautiful trees. I’ve seen a lot of amazing wildlife here including a mink and a pileated woodpecker (woody the woodpecker).

Easy to find and so much space! With a fenced in area for a dog park to trails it’s the perfect place to go for an outing. There were pavilions for parties and little playgrounds around the park for the kids to play with plenty of restrooms for everyone to use.

Sweet park, with several playgrounds, a fishing pond, trails, and a creek. If you walk beside it you can get to a small, semi private lake section that is quite appealing . A great spot to chill, bring kids or walk dogs

Delightful little park nestled right outside of ridgway. Great hiking trails, a new dog park that is being added to pretty consistently and beach volleyball courts that are maintained (in the summer). Also has a fitness trail and playground. And a nice calm creek running right next to it. Great all-around place.

What a nice park. Lots to do with the kids, Large snapping turtles and salamanders in the pond! Geocaches nearby as well!
