West Mifflin Dog Park

In my opinion, the three most important elements of a dog park are (1) a secure fence surrounding (2) a decent sized plot of land for dogs to fun on, and (3) other dogs to play with my dog. This park has all three.

However, there is no access to water on site, the poop bag dispenser was empty, there was very little shade, and the grass needed mowed.

Overall maybe a 6.5 or 7 out of ten. We will go again, but I’ve been to better dog parks (actually just one so far).

A great place to take my dogs when the weather is hot and humid. The grass is better than hot pavement and I don’t worry that they’ll get their pads burnt. I’ve been there at all different times and we mostly meet up with wonderful, playful pups!

This is a very nice dog park. It has well behaved pups and community visitors regularly. During nice weather days, There can be up to 15 dogs on the large dog side.
Things they need to help improve is lighting for fall days when it gets dark early and a good solution for muddy days and more parking.

Nice dog park, however, several community members are not following the rules. There is a Large dog side and a Small dog side. Lately, people are bringing their large dogs over to the small dog section claiming that the small dog section provides more shade. I had to leave several times because these community members refuse to leave the small dog section. It’s unfair to the members of the community who pay taxes and want their small dogs to also enjoy the park. It’s unfair and disrespectful. We are all adults who are capable of reading signs and following rules. Just ridiculous!

the grass needs cut more than once a month. it’s around 6 inches right now, which is terrible for the small dog side. overall, this is a staple of the community , great people, dogs are mostly well behaved, nice setup. but the maintenance is flat out terrible.
