Also known as Red Gate Park Off-Leash Area
14500 Avery Rd, Rockville, MD 20853
A wide-open off-leash area on the rolling grounds of the former Red Gate golf course in Rockville — lots of room for big-dog sprints and plenty of parking.

Medical Center Dr & Dalmatian St, Rockville, MD 20850
A newer fenced run near King Farm in Rockville with two separated areas, benches and easy street parking — usually quieter than the bigger county parks.
Weekday mornings before 9am and the hour before sunset are the quietest windows at Rockville parks. Saturday mornings are the busiest — and the most social, if you're trying to meet the regulars. From late winter into early spring, DMV area parks turn soft: check the mud factor on each park page before you drive over, since locals update it after every rain.
If you're relocating to Maryland, the dog park is the fastest social shortcut in town. Check in when you arrive, see which regulars are around, and host a meetup so your dog has a crew before your boxes are unpacked.
