Ben Brenman Dog Park

A fenced off-leash area inside one of Alexandria's nicest neighborhood parks, right beside Lake Cook. Grass and wood chip footing, paved loop trail around the pond for a warm-up walk, and plenty of parking at the ball fields. The lakeside setting keeps it breezy in summer, and the surrounding trail makes it a genuine two-for-one outing.

A tidy, fully fenced off-leash park tucked into the Carlyle neighborhood just south of Old Town Alexandria. Opened in 2009, it has separate runs for small and large dogs, double-gated entries, and a mix of grass and gravel footing that drains better than most city parks after rain. Benches and shade along the fence line make it an easy weekday-evening stop, and the surrounding Carlyle blocks are full of restaurants and coffee for an after-park walk.
