The Allegheny County Parks Department is proud to offer seven fenced-in dog parks where dogs can run off leash, explore, and make new furry friends in a safe and controlled environment. Each park is designed with enjoyment and safety in mind, providing ample space for exercise, play, and socialization.

In addition to regular park facilities, the Allegheny County Parks Department hosts special events throughout the year specifically for dog owners and their pets, such as Pooches in the Pool and Dog Days of Summer.
