A fenced 1/2 acre of doggy heaven. Benches, picnic tables, mutt mitts, trash, double gate, tall shady trees, and parking available. VERY SWAMPY after rain showers (be prepared with towels and blankets!), however, I understand sand pits & water fountain are being installed. 1/4 the size of Mt. Airy Dog Park. My understanding is that it is brand new (Deerfield Township Parks & Recreation own & operate it), so at this time, fewer dogs visit. More of a place to let your dog run free then to expect dog socialization… hopefully that will change as more people become aware of Dog Run’s existence!
