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.
