The field guide

About this park

Heurich Dog Park is a spacious and popular destination in Hyattsville, offering separate, fenced-in enclosures for both large and small breeds. The park features expansive grassy areas that provide plenty of room for high-energy dogs to sprint and socialize. For pet parents, there are numerous benches strategically placed around the perimeter, making it easy to keep a watchful eye on your pup while they play. While the park is a local favorite, visitors should be prepared for a wide-open environment with limited natural shade. The park also features some basic agility equipment to keep active dogs engaged. Because it is located near a main road, you might notice some ambient traffic noise, but the community atmosphere and ample running space make it a standout choice in Prince George's County.

    The dog park is big and nice with the grass. There are a lot of benches for the dog owner to sit and watch their dog. However I wish all dog owners clean up their dog poop. There are too much poop in the grass.

    Larger dog park attached to a smaller dog park. Lacks shade, but other than that a great spot for doggy to run around

    No very up kept - not a lot of shade and we have had bad experiences with other owners. I like that the park is separated for little and big dogs but it’s dirty - poop every where- and no shade anywhere for owners.

    Great place for dogs of all size. Noisy cars driving by and kids on scooters.

    This is a decent place to bring dogs to run, but this last visit the grass wasn't cut, so it made it more difficult to enjoy the space. They play items also need to be updated. With some love and care, this would be an amazing dog park. They should also add a water fountain to the "large dog side" of the dogs park.
