    If your new to the area - all Dog Parks suck around here. The state or county park hiking trails are better.

    This dog park is very spacious with two divided sections segregating the dogs based on size (this…read moreis to prevent discourse amongst big and small dogs and small dogs are NOT required to be in the small dog section always) there are LOTS of shades areas with healthy trees and open spaces which make it ideal for fetch games. Water is provided in the park as well as tables to sit and watch your dog. Dog bags are also provided and in my experience they're always available but bring your own if you can. If you plan on going, dress appropriately. Wear clothes in which you expect to get dirty because even with a grassy and clean park, some dogs will greet you with a slobbery and happy poke to the leg. A lot of the landscape in this dog park consists of mulch and dirt. I imagine the reason is because dogs like to dig ALOT it makes it easier to maintain the park and patch any hazardous holes to prevent tripping and injuries. Although this isn't a very prevalent issue I do wish that the park and its visitors have a bit more decorum and clean after themselves. Not much of a technical issue but a community incentive. I find myself finding waste on the ground more often now. When you're at a park, you're supposed to watch your dogs. Aside from that, after almost of a decade of coming here with my dog I've always found the people super friendly and occasionally I'd find extremely beautiful dogs.

    We finally made it to Cabin John today. Our dog had the best time, and well probably return again,…read morebut there were a few issues. First, it was a mud pit. Wally enjoyed that part immensely, but cleaning a corgi isn't fun. Second, the fresh water for them to drink was not clear- it had a brown tint to it. Third, some of the owners brought dogs who weren't the most friendly... and then didn't pay attention to them when they snapped at other dogs. Positives- pups liked the rock formation. The park was HUGE. There were spots for humans to sit. There were essentially two parks- one for small dogs (under 20lbs) and one for big dogs. It was easy to find. And there were a ton of dogs!

    Came here for a doggy birthday party and adoption event for Daisy's Legacy. The founder's dog…read moreturned 2 and I am currently fostering a dog through there so I can show her off. This was my first time. We had a closed off section in the back of the bar area but they also have a doggy gym and play area. There were a number of doggy alumni there with their owners. The bar has a food and drink menu and the staff were very friendly. Be mindful that the menu prices don't match the prices items ring in at so check your total before you pay. Overall a nice place to bring your pup and enjoy some food and drink. There is also a dog park right outside.

    Since we wanted to venture outside of our regular dog park, we found wonderful indoor doggy…read moreplayground and human bar/restaurant in Arlington. I have to say that our young pup had a complete BLAST, so it definitely was worth the hour drive for our visit. The doggy playground is a pretty large space that has various obstacle courses apparatuses that dogs can attempt to conquer while playing with other dogs. I really appreciated that Snouts & Stouts' layout was pretty well organized. I thought the rules for both humans and dogs were pretty fair. Also, we really appreciated the speed in which our dog's vaccination records were verified. We managed to email our dog's vet records and have them confirmed within an hour of our first visit. Unlike most regular dog parks, Snouts & Stouts had a couple of folks (aka "rufferees") to ensure that everyone was having a good time. I loved the idea of the rufferees because it is a great way to have an unbiased person regulate the playground. As one might suspect, some owners can be super-sensitive or super-lax regarding their dog's behaviors and interactions with other dogs and humans. The playground has a separate place from the play ground where humans and dogs can consume their food. However, folks are permitted to consume beverages in the main playing area. The bar had an extensive variety of fun beverages for both humans and dogs. I thought the beers and cocktails were reasonable priced considering the area. Unfortunately, the chef was unavailable during our visit so we could not try any of the human food. A minor issue for me because I was STARVING. Fortunately for my appetitive, Snouts and Stouts had plenty of beers (particularly IPAs) that I could choose from. In general, I thought the playground was pretty clean and well-maintained. While the area was not super clean, it defiantly was 100% cleaner than any outdoor dog park. During our visit, I did notice that there was a mop bucket with soapy water near the dogs' water stations. While the mop bucket wasn't a huge deal, I thought it was a little strange that it was in that location considering a dog or two could have access to the soapy water. Perhaps, this was a minor oversight by the staff. I thought the price of entry (10 bucks for a day pass) was extremely generous. Also, if you purchase $40 worth of food and drinks (as of July 2025), you'll receive a free day pass for your next visit. Looking forward to making Snouts and Stouts a nice treat for our dog...as well as ourselves.
