Dog Parks

Boyce Park dog park fenced in area

In the fenced-in dog parks, located in seven of the Allegheny County parks, dogs can safely run off-leash, explore, and meet new furry friends. Most of the county dog parks have separate areas designated for small and large dogs. The off-leash areas are open year-round depending on weather, conditions, and park operating hours.

Contact the Parks Department with questions or for more information.

Use the interactive map or tables below to find an off-leash dog area, or view the full-size dog park map in a separate window.
