Off-the-Leash Fun
Pittsburgh is known for having plenty of parks for residents to enjoy, but the lovely green spaces are not just for humans; there are plenty of dog parks that will make your pal’s tail wag. For some off leash fun, we recommend starting with these three parks.
Frick Park Dog Park
Explore the Squirrel Hill neighborhood and bring your dog with you to the Frick Park Dog Park. Let your furry friend run free and enjoy the complimentary bowl and water source area, just for your pup. Play around the pond and creek area while you meet other pet owners and friendly dogs.
Bernard Dog Run
Found in Lower Lawrenceville, Bernard Dog Run is a lovely location, right in the trendiest neighborhood in the city. With benches and plenty of bowls of water, you can bring your little friend to this spot to enjoy the local scenery and choose between two accommodating fenced-in areas.
Southside Riverfront Dog Park
If you live in the South Side and own a pup, the Southside Riverfront Dog Park is a must visit. Opened in the Spring of 2012, this spot offers two fields side-by-side for your dog to play — one for large and one for smaller sized dogs. With bushes, some benches, and an open field, there’s plenty of opportunity to keep you and your pal busy.
