Was visiting my family in PA and found this dog park which wasn't too far from where they live…read more They have two sections divided for small (under 30lbs) vs large dogs. When we got there, there were only 2 dogs in the small section but I'm sure they were not under 30lbs and kept jumping on us which resulted in scratching my leg. Luckily the owners noticed the dog's behavior and left. My pup was the only one in there and she absolutely loved it. A great way to burn that puppy energy. The park is very clean and also has a water fountain for dogs to drink from. Will definitely be back when the weather gets warmer.

I only put a rating in because I had to. I haven't been to this park in about five years where I…read morehad both good experiences and bad experiences. My dog is fine once she gets into the open area but can be leash aggressive when on the leash. Which the one time we were going, two dog owners were coming (one to and one from) the park where their dogs were OFF LEASH on the path outside of the dog park., on way to parking lot. One came towards my pup very aggressively. My neighbor hasn't been there for a few years either because his gentle dog was viciously attacked (as in grabbing her by neck//throught, standing over, shaking her, and her owner did nothing, until others yelled at said owner,, who picked her dog up and just left without making sure his dog was okay, or apologize. After owner left, friend said he picked his dog and rushed her to the vet, Another time, my first time there, I took my two to the smaller side, and my beagle was doing well until a gentleman arrived with his small dog who immediately went after my beagle in a very aggressive way and he said "just let them work it out." Thankfully the others there said "No. you don't do that with someone's first time experience bringing their dog to a dog park," which felt good to be supported in that way Finally, one other time, it was a pleasant experience, the people welcomed us in, asked about our dog, helped if either of our dogs seemed overwhelmed, etc. As a result, it is hard for me to say whether or not I would recommend this park since I have not been there for five years.

Its a gravel path around perimeter and is exactly 1 mile so its great for keeping track of your distance and pace. There's also numerous fitness stations if you want to do a full circuit workout. * There are multiple baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, a volleyball pit and horseshoes. * You can rent out shaded pavilions and grills for parties and evens. They are pretty nice and spacious. * A mid-sized playground for 1 to 6 year olds. The older kids seem to enjoy it too. * Ample parking with multiple large lots located around the park. The one area for improvement would be add more trees and bushes for shade and scenery. Some masonry, and maybe monuments with local history on it would be a nice bonus.

They could've done better in terms of setting up more space and putting a few more benches and a water source for the dogs. My other comment is that the entry gate is almost impossible to hold open and let your dog out at the same time when exiting. it's extremely heavy due to the hydraulic action of the hinge. Our dogs do love this park and we go every day that we can.

This dog park is an example of the way such parks should be established. Dogs are animals and…read morehumans need to recognize the risks involved in having a dog park including the possibility that even nice dogs don't love all other dogs and people. The measures Whitpain used to make this a safe dog park including requiring up to date vaccinations are for safety. It is well known that less controlled dog parks can result in canine disease spreading. In addition many people do not train their dogs and have little control over them. Dogs can be triggered and may bite or attack other dogs or humans trying to separate them. Humans are responsible for ensuring such parks are safe for dogs and people. I see nothing wrong with requiring a bit of education of dog owners regarding canine behaviors and warning signs to protect all involved. If you don't like the rules don't join. There are plenty of parks around with zero controls- good luck because you may need it.

Kitchens lane has been a point of contention for years now. I see community posts about dog beach and dog meet ups at kitchen lane. I would like to see signs or notice reenforcing the rules of the Wissahickon creek. Dogs are to be on a leash at all times 6ft maximum. I have had countless amount of hostile interactions with Dog owners explaining the rules. I have 3 small children that I fish with at Kitchens lane with. 1st for the protection of my children dogs should be on a leash , 2nd I purchase a fishing license every year. Which permits me to fish in the wissahickon creek. Please correct me if I am wrong. There is no such permit or license which allows dog owners to let there dogs roam freely thru the Wissahickon or Fairmount park. Again I understand everyone want to enjoy nature. However there are rules in place for people's protection & enjoyment. I am simply asking these rules to be enforced

This park is right off Bristol Road on an old air base and you couldn't possibly miss it. It's a spot that will please people of all sorts, as there is quite a bit to do. There is a pretty long track that runs along the perimeter of the place, with exercise spots along the way. I believe it says it's about 2.5 miles, which is great if you're trying to keep some accountability. You'll even get to see the abandoned neighborhood through some of the fencing as you walk, which is kind of cool to see. This place also has a dog park within it, as well as a huge playground. It's a great spot to bring the kids, but make them go to the bathroom beforehand. The restrooms are locked for the winter and the porta potties aren't in great shape. If you find yourself wondering across the street, there is another park (Munro) that offers another playground and a place for the skateboarders to let loose. If you know what geocaching is, you will also be able to partake in some of that. Most people I encounter absolutely love this park. Great for runners, bladers, and bikers. For me personally, I enjoy places that are a little more quiet and have nature trails. This place works though.
