About this park
Kentland Dog Park offers a spacious and convenient getaway for pup owners located right on the edge of DC. Tucked away next to the Kentland Community Center, this fully fenced run provides ample room for high-energy dogs to stretch their legs and sprint. The park also features surrounding walking paths, making it a great destination for those who want to combine a vigorous game of fetch with a structured leash walk. While the park is a hidden gem for locals, visitors should come prepared to be self-sufficient. The layout is well-regarded for providing plenty of play space, but the lack of on-site water means you'll want to pack a bowl for your furry friend. It's an ideal spot for a quick weekday visit or an afternoon spent tiring out a pair of active dogs in a quiet, accessible environment.

Love it. I wish it had water stations though.

Please pick up your dog’s poop. It does not magically disappear and you will get other dogs sick if you don’t do it.

Very nice to see such a nice dog park in the area. It was disappointing to see all the poop bag stations were empty.

The park is nicely designed , however, dog poop not picked up. Grass is tall. Makes it hard for dog run through.
