About this park
New Carrollton Dog Park offers a spacious and convenient retreat for local pups, featuring two distinct, expansive fenced areas to accommodate both small and large breeds. Located near the New Carrollton Metro, the park is a prime spot for dogs to socialize and burn off energy. Beyond the fenced-in zones, the facility is surrounded by a paved walking loop and features outdoor exercise equipment, making it a great destination for owners looking to get active alongside their pets. While the park provides double-gated entries for added security, visitors should come prepared as amenities can be hit-or-miss. Reviewers frequently note that the waste bag dispensers are often empty and there is no on-site water source. The terrain is mostly grass and dirt, which provides a natural feel but can become quite muddy following rain. Despite these maintenance quirks, it remains a popular community hub for those seeking a large, open space for their dogs to run free.

The dog poop bag dispensers were empty and the fence is not secure. My dog escaped from the big dog park on the east side

Good sized dog park with two spaces, one for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs. Double gates for extra security. However, it is filled with piles of dog poop, which is indicative of the residents’ sense of pet ownership. The city needs to stock the poop bags as well, to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets.

Very large dog park with a side for smaller dogs and larger dogs. The small side has plenty of room for dogs to run. Park was very clean. The only down side there were no poop bags in the dispensers but still very nice.

Good place to let your dogs run around & meet other dogs. It gets very muddy during wet wearing so wear the proper shoes. There is no water fountain so be sure to bring your own water.
