The field guide

About this park

Olney Manor Recreational Park Dog Park is a standout destination in Montgomery County, offering an expansive and welcoming environment for pups of all sizes. The facility is thoughtfully divided into two distinct sections: a massive, wood-chipped area for large breeds and a generous, grassy space dedicated to smaller dogs. Nestled within a larger recreational complex, the park provides a peaceful setting where dogs can burn off energy while their owners enjoy the friendly, community-focused atmosphere. The amenities here are top-notch, catering to both the comfort of the pets and their humans. Visitors will find covered picnic tables, benches, and water bowls available in both sections, ensuring a pleasant stay even on warmer days. Because the park is part of a larger recreation area, you can easily transition from the fenced enclosures to a leashed walk along the surrounding trails or utilize the public restrooms located just a short walk away. Owners particularly appreciate the well-maintained grounds and the responsible community of regulars. While the large dog area is expansive enough that it can be hard to keep eyes on your pet at all times, the social nature of the visitors helps keep the park safe and clean. It’s an ideal spot for social dogs who love to run and for owners looking for a reliable, well-equipped space to frequent.

    Extra large dog park. One for the big dogs, with chopped wood ground cover and a smaller one (also quite large) for the little dogs with grass. Had good experiences on both sides though prefer the smaller one, given that it is grass. the large park has an entrance on each end, which is tricky. Because you can't see what dogs are coming in because it is so large.

    What a fantastic dog park! Plenty of space for your dog's, and separated small and large sections. The large dog park is mulch, and the small dog section is grass. The people and dogs all seemed friendly. And the space is nice, clean and nestled in a larger park where you can take a nice walk. I'm definitely looking forward to bringing my little lady again!

    The small dog area is grassy, good for medium and small dogs. The large dog area has wood chips and trees which makes it a little harder to see if mischief is about to happen or if a dog hides to do its business. If other people are around I like to ask them to tell me if they see something to keep it clear for everyone.

    Very nice dog park separated in two for the bigger and smaller dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run and play around and located in a nice area. I’m trying to get my baby more comfortable being around dogs so i’ll definitely bring him here more often.
