Get Your Furry Friends Out & About at One of NEPA’s Dog Parks

Just like us, sometimes our four-legged best friends need to get out, unwind, and socialize. We’re not talking puppy nightclubs or doggie dive bars (though that’s not a bad idea). Some fresh air and space to run around will do just fine. For those sweet doggos in our lives, there’s nothing better than a cool breeze blowing through the fur, a few friends, and maybe playing a little fetch.

We’ve compiled a list of parks throughout NEPA with fenced areas for dogs. Having a fenced-in area provides a safe and playful environment for your dog to let loose off leash. Most locations are open year-round, so get those pups to a park to have some fun. You’re sure to have a blast seeing your pup loving life as well.
