About this park
Hickory Grove Park Dog Park offers a quiet, reliable retreat for local pups looking to stretch their legs in the North Potomac area. This fenced-in facility is thoughtfully divided into two separate sections, allowing for a more controlled environment whether you're looking for social play or a bit more space for a focused game of fetch. Its location along the Quince Orchard corridor makes it an ideal stop for a quick off-leash break during your daily commute or local errands. While the park maintains a low-key atmosphere, it provides a surprisingly spacious layout that isn't always common in suburban runs. It’s a great neighborhood gem for those who prefer a less crowded experience than the larger regional parks. Just be sure to come prepared, as the quiet nature of the park means you'll want to double-check your supplies before heading in.

Great spacious, local dog park. Separated into 2 sections. Only downside is when I went, there was limited doggie bags but hopefully that will change over time.

Good dog park that’s been taken over by Montgomery county so it’s now open to all. Only downside is some local residents may bully you and question whether you are allowed to use the park because he doesn’t know it’s been taken over by Montgomery county.
