About This Park
Greenbelt Dog Park is a well-maintained, fenced community space that offers a clean and social environment for local pups to burn off energy. The park is praised for its attentive community of owners who actively keep the area tidy and pick up after their pets. With separate sections for different dog sizes and plenty of room to run, it’s a reliable spot for daily exercise and socialization. One of the park's standout features is its mature trees, providing much-needed shade to keep the area semi-cool even during the height of summer. The park also serves as a hub for local pet events, such as the annual Dog Expo Block Party in June, where the community gathers for vaccines, pet services, and kitten adoptions. It is important to note that this is a private, permit-only facility. To enjoy the park, owners must be Greenbelt residents and obtain a paid permit from the City. While enforcement is strict—with animal control known to monitor the area—this exclusivity ensures a controlled and familiar environment for regular visitors.
