Find Your Favorite Dog Park in Silver Spring

Find Your Favorite Dog Park in Silver Spring (and the surrounding area)!

What dog doesn't love to play – especially in a place with lots of open space and the chance to make new four-legged friends? Cities like Silver Spring and non-profit organizations are banding together to create areas where dogs can play off-leash legally, freely and most importantly safely in local dog parks. Hooray!

Dog parks are the fastest growing segment of city parks--and for good reason. Dog owners want more options when it comes to providing exercise for their active doggos.

Our roving reporter (pun intended) and DKG videographer Dennis set out with his pup Coby to give us the scoop on Silver Spring's best dog parks.

Ellsworth Urban Dog Park, 621 Ellsworth Dr Silver Spring, MD

This is a large park with a double-gated entrance and separate areas for small and big dogs. Water is readily available. It provides a fun atmosphere for man's best friend. I'd definately go back!

Wheaton Regional Dog Park, 1400 Glenallan Ave Wheaton, MD 

Wheaton Regional Dog Park has big, open space for dogs to run and play. There are plenty of benches and shady seating areas for humans. A convenient water supply and waste disposal rounds out the amenities of this dog park. It's well-maintained and enjoyable for dogs and their companions.

Takoma Park Dog Park, 198 Darwin Ave Takoma Park, MD 

Takoma Park Dog Park has a nice playground with a slope for extra exercise. It's stocked with extra balls in case you forget yours (a really nice touch!) and has a water bowl- although you must supply your own H20.
