Dog parks have become quite popular. People are looking for ways to spend outside time with their dog without infringing upon other people's space. Owner/handler and dogs can make great lasting friendships in a secure dog park.
Arlington County has 8 dog parks for you and your pet to enjoy. These parks are referred to as CCA's, Community Canine Areas. The Arlington area is very pet-friendly, so you and your dog can spend time outdoors in a safe environment.
Of course with such great benefits come rules and regulations. Please be sure to read all the expectations that the park has outlined for you before you enter the parks. The parks are open from sunrise to half an hour past sunset. If you would like more information on the dog parks, please contact the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources at 703-931-9241.
