Not sure if anyone will check Yelp for dog parks but if you're anything like me, hi and I hope my…read morereview helps;) Yes... this dog park is open. Open until sundown. Lots of dogs typically around 5 (apparently... today was my first time here with my dog but I spoke to a few people) Yes... there is an entry fee of $5 and proof of vaccination IS required. If you find the park to your liking, as long as your dog is up to date on vaccination, you are eligible for a one year membership which is only $40, the $40 will be good for up to 3 dogs that are your own (meaning, you don't have to pay $40 per dog if you have more than 1). I spoke to the lady who runs the park- she is very very sweet. She told me there is a Facebook group called Maryland dog park community. It seems there's lots of pictures and videos and events posted in this account, all from this location. I'm looking forward to getting this membership and bringing my pup here! For more info, I recommend checking out their Facebook page!

There isn't a bathroom exactly near the field, and I asked a lady who was working in the booth at the dog park yesterday evening if he could use the portable potty (I understand and am aware it wasn't a public restroom) and she said "no because you and those people on that football team are always causing problems". That situation was very frustrating and unhelpful, especially when an 8 year old child has an urgent bathroom need. I am also aware park booth attendants must follow site rules, but refusing a child in an emergency due to unrelated group issues lacks basic common sense and empathy.

I mean that I would pretend to be a dog and play with the dogs themselves. If anyone were to catch a stick it would probably be me, because a little kid saw me at the park and got very frightened and threw a stick at me. It left a huge bump on my head and the other dogs decided to gang up on me and beat me up. In conclusion, I give this park 4/5 because I had a fun time but there are way too many sticks and the dogs that beat me up stole my wallet.

There's been times I've seen dogs jump up on tables, stealing food, and sometimes jump on tables to steal food!

Patapsco State Park is a huge, beautiful plot of land accessible from multiple areas of MD…read more For only $2 car, collected in an unattended Honor Box, you get access to acres and acres of nature's finest greenery scattered among hills and rocks and boulders to hike through trails of trees, streams, waterfalls, and more. Because of the tall trees, you get plenty of shade while walking through the woods. I take my young children who can effortlessly conquer 3 miles of the trail without hesitation. It's an awesome nature experience hearing the birds chirp & insects buzz, seeing the small schools of fish being carried down the stream, the crawling creatures perfectly positioned for nature enthusiasts capturing photos. The park entry also allows you to use the open grass areas to picnic or grab a grill. The water is practically a beach area as I've seen multiple families lined up on both sides of the bridge enjoying the cool water. As well as my children and I. There's plenty of parking. The bridge is a highlight boasting wonderful opportunities for pictures with beautiful natural lighting. There's also some train tracks on the other side of the bridge perfect for photo ops but BEWARE! it is a functional and operating train track! My family and I can't get enough of this park. Definitely experience it for yourself.

Great trails, enough elevation change for solid workouts, some sections with lovely old trees. There's a long stretch of a beautiful stream (Saw Mill Branch) and some areas that give you that lovely isolated feeling of being in the woods. There's campgrounds (way better than "backyard camping") and driving in from the gate on Hilton Ave puts you in a good spot to immediately start hiking. There's also trails leading in from a number of the surrounding neighborhoods. The paved path by the river is pedestrian and disabled friendly. A historic rail route runs parallel to the river and train spotters can get some unique views as well as see the famous Ilchester Tunnel. PVSP is one of my favorite things about living in central MD, and each section has some unique things. Explore them all - but this (Hilton) area is particularly accessible for beginners who want the full experience.

This dog park is perfectly fine except for 3 MAJOR major issues. 1) You have to walk a good 12+ mins to get to it from the parking lot. It is not accessible by car. 2) There is no water source for the dogs which in the Spring, Summer & Fall is a pain in the keester. I lugged a gallon bottle of water & my 3 dogs drank half of it after 30 mins there. After an hour, it was completely empty bc other dogs had come & were thirsty also. 3) There was a couple who brought an UNALTERED MALE PIT BULL to the park. HE WAS AGGRESSIVE & it was clear he was not the type to play with other dogs. They brought them to the other pen & he was trying to eat my puppy through the chain link fence. I grabbed my dogs & left immediately. NOT OKAY AT ALL to bring an AGGRESSIVE UN-NEUTERED DOG TO A DOG PARK! NOT COMING HERE AGAIN FOR ALL OF THOSE REASONS.

I saw others parked there and heading toward the park so I figured it was fine. Also it wasn't during business hours either so I wasn't worried.
