Mitchell Park is a hidden gem among the dog parks in Washington, DC, offering a welcoming atmosphere for both pets and owners. This dog-friendly park features a peaceful, grassy open space perfect for unwinding, along with a charming playground for children, picnic tables for gatherings, and accessible entrances for everyone. With a reputation for being clean, quiet, and dotted with friendly local dog owners, Mitchell Park is a top spot for dog lovers in the city looking for a community atmosphere and pet-friendly trails.
The park’s variety of amenities extends beyond just the dog area. You’ll find tennis and pickleball courts, a shaded playground area for kids, and dedicated seating that’s ideal for relaxing. Although it’s somewhat tucked away and does not offer on-site bathrooms or parking, its accessibility, kid-friendly layout, and open, grassy space make it one of DC’s favorite smaller parks for both reflection and recreation. Bring your furry friend to enjoy a laid-back experience in this centrally located and pet-welcoming neighborhood space.
Great little park with a nice grassy area and cute playground great for kids 1-9. No bathrooms or parking.
A hidden treasure, I passed by it twice and I did not see it. I live by S street dog park. Zetta (my daschund) and I are grieving as my boy crossed the rainbow bridge in April. So our regular dog park is not attractive to her anymore. Steps of the Mitchell park are not steep at all. Although it doesn’t qualify as a maze. But I felt we have found the friendliest most open maze ever. It is clean, quiet and kind. The dog parents are pretty responsible and calm too.
Mitchell Park was awesome 👌. A perfect place to sit down and just reflect. The mini library even had a variety of books to enjoy in my solitude.
This park has it all!
– Peace of mind in the grass with larger than life luxurious dogs that come from the upper echelon of DC living? Check
– two pickleball courts with friendly folks? Check
– a sitting area for local orchestras to practice? Check
– play area separate from all the above for kids? Check
