This is one of the best dog parks I have ever been too.. it's huge, there's walking trails and a little stream that runs next to it that the dogs love to play in.: the only thing I would say is there should be a designated area for trout fishing bc the dogs will be playing in the lake while people are trying to fish wish could be dangerous. Also the main thing is there is a couple of puddles that stay stagnant and have made several dogs sick so if there's a way to get that drained it would be really helpful read more

I loved this park for my dog. He is high energy and friendly and was able to run, swim and play with other dogs. A few notes, the park is not fenced in therefore, don't take your dog if a runner. Most people were nice but there is always one in the bunch. Unfortunately, that is life. read more

Lloyd Park - Parks Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

Best park for dogs. Been taking my dogs there since 2002, long before the park existed in its current format. Safe, secure, fun for a wide variety of personalities. Yes, there are times when a dog can get out of hand and create some trouble, but that's true everywhere. It does not happen often, so as long as you keep track of your dog actively, then you should leave with nothing but happy memories read more

The huge space, the water bodies, sandy beaches, and trails are the best I've seen. Our dogs get excited when we are anywhere near the park. My only suggestion (other than making the fencing continuous) would be to have a source of water for drinking other than the creek. Many of the other parks we have gone to have doggy drinking fountains, and that would be a great plus for one of our dogs that tends to shy away from the creek. In general, this park is a great addition to an already awesome town. :) read more

This is a phenomenal park for dogs and people! I was hesitant to bring my new rescue because this park is huge! Once I was confident she would come when called, this place has become a daily destination for our energetic pup! This park consists of huge open grass fields to frolic with new friends and chase birds, multiple creek spots where she can choose to jump 2-3 feet off the edge into the water, or several options to just get her paws wet as she grabs a quick drink. There are several trails into the woods where we go for 'time outs' in order to remove ourselves from the dog play which can get chaotic at times! The corn field paths take you up to an abandoned house for some quiet time too. She runs until she basically drops at this park! We love it!!!! read more

This would be a great dog park if it was fully fenced in. Our one rescue (a border collie) would run until she found the open space into large field on the north side. We can't take that risk, so we just take her to the volleyball courts which are fully fenced. Our two smaller dogs are OK in the dog park, because they are a little better trained. It's still not ideal. Just be careful. read more

This dog park has a perfect location but the fence never wrapped fully around the property and large parts of it were destroyed during hurricane Ida and no one has fixed them. This is really concerning because there is a playground, a school, and a busy road right outside where the fence used to be. Not having a fence there puts both the children and the dogs in danger. If an aggressive or upset dog got out on that playground I don't even want to imagine what would happen. All they do is put up "Private Property" signs and purple paint. Newsflash: dogs can't read so in an off leash dog park if you don't want a dog there you need to fence it off. I just can't get over how irresponsible the people in charge if this park are. They clearly don't care for the safety of the animals or people who come to their park. read more

Piper loves going here for a run in the park with her doggy friends followed by a dip in the Brandywine creek to cool off. It's well maintained and owners seem to watch closely over their K-9 friends. read more

Lloyd Park - A roll in the dirt after going for a quick swim in the creek. Love that wet dog smell! - Parks Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

We love this park! Doesn't matter what the weather is like there are always other dogs here. There is lots of room to run and a creek running through for the dogs to swim and trails to walk. Hands down best off leash park in the area! read more

Awesome place!!! 30 acres of open fields for dogs to play. Nice and wide open and plenty of areas for dogs to play on the creek. There are plenty of dogs here at all times. You can hike around the perimeter to get away from the crowds too. read more

This place is incredible. My dog loves it here!! It is so big and open, and all the dogs and people are so nice!! My dog gets so excited when he hears the words "dog park" because he knows he will be going here!! read more

The park would be great if it was fully fenced in, but since it's not dogs can easily run away. As an owner of two rescue dogs that are quick to run when they get the chance, I can't take my dogs here because they actually have gotten loose from the park which is annoying considering it's a great space for dogs otherwise. If the park was fenced in it would make all the difference. read more

The dog park is huge and has a river going throughout with multiple places for your pup to jump in. It's big enough to give everyone their space. My only reason for giving a 4 instead of a 5 is that the fence is not continuous. For my dogs it's not a big deal, but if you were expecting a safe place for your sprinter pup this is not it. read more

Great huge dog park. Very well kept park that is the biggest one I've seen yet. There is a bunch of areas for dogs to swim in the creek. Large grass area to play. Trails next to creek to explore. A bunch of dog loving people to meet. There is only one very large area for dogs of all sizes. This is a public place. Like many there might be issues between dogs but is rare. If your that type don't come out. The other review I guess never let's there kids in public because there is a chance for things to happen. read more

We love bringing our border collie/Aussie mix to this park. It is doggie heaven! She loves being around other dogs and meeting new people. She is a high energy dog and this place is just the ticket. We plan on heading there today with her. read more

Wonderful park, I will never forget when we adopted our dog, (a sheltie/terrier mix) who was very timid at the time and only about a year old, and seeing her true spirit when we brought her here. We made sure to train her fully to come when called before we came, (it is not fenced in completely, so you need reasonable trust with your dog to let them run free.) When we took her off the leash, she just stared at me in awe, I don't think she ever had free roam of a space that big before. It's beautiful and open, and she took off running through the park in giant circles. She just kept continuing to run all over the park for about 15 minutes. When I called her, she came to me exhausted and panting, and the happiest, most relaxed I had ever seen her. I have taken her on a two hour walk before and have her still not be tired. This place is great for me and her, they even have water the dogs can swim in and a little trail through the woods. If there's a lot of big dogs playing rough, it's easy to avoid them as it's so big. Bringing my dog here once a week also made her love car trips. She originally would panic if she had to walk within several yards of a sitting car, but after taking her on these trips for a few months, she became the best travel dog, excitedly hopping in the car and sitting in the back seat quietly until we arrived to our destination. I highly recommend this for your dogs, so long as they're atleast medium sized (small dogs have me worry they'd be hurt sometimes), they're friendly, and they come when called. If they don't have all three, you can still walk them on leash around the rest of the park. ALSO, for newcomers, wear old shoes or boots, it's very muddy, and bring a few towels in the car for the pooch! read more

Lloyd Park - My dog happily running through the little trail in the woods. - Parks Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

Excellent dog park. Huge with a creek and tons of field for my two large dogs to stretch their legs. I can't keep them out of the water! There are always people and always other dogs for my pups to play with. When we bought a new house, proximity to Lloyd park was one of our considerations. Love it! read more

Great Park, Great animal parents, NOT fully fenced in. I brought my recently rescued 4 yr hold hound dog to the park and she quickly discovered it's draw back. There is a large portion of the fence between the dog park and the kid park that is missing, and there is no fencing at all once you get back on the trails near the creek. We both were having a blast before she uncovered this park's Achilles heel. And then she was across the street... meeting families... in big houses... that luckily called me... and returned her to the park. This is a great space IF your dog is FULLY trained and does well with commands even in large spaces with lots of distractions. Don't be naïve like me. read more

Great park for dogs to run and play off-leash. There is also a small stream running through it, which the dogs love to romp and splash around (note, there is s garden hose right be the entrance gate if your dog, or you, need to be rinsed off before heading home). The dog owners are mostly pretty good about not bringing bad temperament dogs. read more

This is a great place to take your dog to play, interact with other dogs and to get some exercise. The dogs there are great and the people are pretty nice too! I definitely recommend this dog park. read more
