    Small dog aide. No grass and no shade.
    Astin P.

    No shade. Big dog side is closed due to overgrowth. The small dog side is gravel and cement with no grass. Parking is coin meter only 1.25/hr 2 hr limit quarters and dimes only. Overall big let down. Also there were no dogs : /

    Great park on about 1/3 acre. Mulch & grass with plenty of shade.

    Love this large open dog park. The dogs are (mostly) well behaved and the owners are friendly.

    Came here for a doggy birthday party and adoption event for Daisy's Legacy. The founder's dog…read moreturned 2 and I am currently fostering a dog through there so I can show her off. This was my first time. We had a closed off section in the back of the bar area but they also have a doggy gym and play area. There were a number of doggy alumni there with their owners. The bar has a food and drink menu and the staff were very friendly. Be mindful that the menu prices don't match the prices items ring in at so check your total before you pay. Overall a nice place to bring your pup and enjoy some food and drink. There is also a dog park right outside.

    I've been coming here since it first opened a few years ago. I've used their boarding and daycare…read moreservices a few times and have also come by often with my dog for the indoor park play with other dogs. They've recently started adding more to their menu, which is nice. I like that it's indoor, and the staff is friendly. This is where New District Brewing Company used to be, and it's right next to Shirlington Dog Park. The founder, Daniel, is a super nice guy, and I can tell he cares about his customers' experiences. It originally just started out as an indoor dog park/daycare with alcohol, but it has since evolved into an enrichment facility ("canine cardio"). They also sometimes have events like puppy yoga, which is really cute. You can also rent the upper level for a private party, and depending on the tier/package you get, they include goodies for the pups. The two times I've used their boarding services, there were some inconveniences. The boarding does not happen on-site, but rather at the owners' home. The first time, I was expecting to pick up my dog by 10:30am, but it turned out they were running late getting to Snouts & Stouts, and they didn't get there until 11:15; I wasted 45 minutes of my workday morning and had to reschedule a meeting. They had also broken my dog's food bowl and didn't tell me until I got home and realized it was missing. It was expensive because it was ceramic and a slow-feeder. Brittany then said she would order me a new one, but it took her a couple days to actually order it, and then she accidentally sent it to her home instead of mine even though I gave her the address, so I had to go pick it up; in the mean time we just hand fed our dog. The second time I boarded her, we included some medication that HAD to be refrigerated. I wrote instructions both in the medical section of the booking and on the bottle itself--2 pills in the AM, 1 in the PM--and i included exactly enough pills to last the entire trip (it was 5 nights - 15 pills). When I picked her up, there were still 10 pills in the bottle, and the bottle was clearly warm and not refrigerated. AND they forgot my dog's food bowl--again. At least this time they came out to me instead of me having to go out to them. I know my dog has a lot of fun with them, but I feel like I can't rely on them from a logistical point of view. I also like that they don't have toys out because some dogs can get possessive or reactive over them. My dog LOVES tennis balls, and while she doesn't get aggressive, she also stops engaging with other dogs and only focuses on chewing and hoarding the ball. However, the last two times I went (which was admittedly several months ago), they started throwing balls around and my dog didn't get the socialization/activity that I brought her there for. I brought here there to play with other dogs, not play with toys; she can do that at home. There have also been several times when I've gone and they've decided to close early. The more they do that, the more I feel like customers won't come; why say you'll keep it open until 9 if you're not actually open until 9? I'll get there at 7:45-8 and they'll say they're gonna close early. They already open late (5pm) on weekdays, so to cut even 30 minutes off is already cutting 12.5% of operating hours. Overall, though, my dog loves playing with the other dogs here and does seem to get a ton of play time when she's enrolled in daycare/boarding, so maybe I just have to suck it up when it comes to these inconveniences. I know there are other indoor-dog-park-and-bar establishments, but this is the only one I know of that also offers daycare and boarding. I think it's a bit on the pricier side for the entrance/membership fees, but they've gotta make money somehow, and I know that commercial real estate can't be cheap in that area! If your dog doesn't have any special medical needs and doesn't need special food bowls then I also 100% recommend this place for daycare and boarding.

    Technically, the River House Dog Park is only open to residences, BUT as long as you can find…read morestreet parking, there isn't anything stopping anyone else from bringing their well behaved pooch here. This is a smaller, gravel park, with a "small dog" area separate from larger dogs (great to keep the more timid smaller dogs away from some of the more boisterous pups), and is located behind "The Ashley" building within the River House Apartments complex. In general, owners are considerate. Everyone picks up their dogs poop, and all the dogs/owners have seemed to gotten to know the behaviors enough so if a dog starts acting out they get taken out and it doesn't become an issue. There are benches on the inside as well as outside, even non-dog owners are welcome :) I'm extremely happy that this is here now, River House was already super dog friendly (literally the only apartment complex in Arlington that allows two dogs per apartment up to 100 lbs each), but the recent dog park addition is the bees knees!

    It was Charlie and my first time at a dog park and seeing the great yelp reviews, we headed for…read moreRiver House Dog Park. The Dog Park is located right BEHIND the River House "Ashley" Building closer to N. Joyce and 15th St. The park is gate enclosed, gravel paved for the pup paws and benches for the humans. There is even a sectioned off area for smaller dogs but there were no small dogs when we went so Charlie was sent to play with the big boys and boy oh boy is he a ballbuster hehe. Dogs and their owners are real nice and friendly. There are doggie bags in case you need to clean up your pups' mess (everyone is good about it) and there is a water fountain if the pups needs it (Poor Charlie couldn't reach haha so we gave him a boost). All in all, River House has a great dog park, Charlie made lots of new friends, came home tired and mommy was happy!

    This park has it all! To start, it's situated in a less than ideal spot, between a road and a train…read moretrack. However, they made it more than an appeal. My kids loved watching trains go by, and it is fully fenced in, so you can relax and kids can get any kind of locomotive show. They also made a bike/running trail along side the park. There is plenty of seating and places for families to relax or do a picnic lunch. The playground itself is also amazing! There is a toddler and big kid side. Every type of play equipment you can imagine. I was especially impressed by the maze on the toddler side. I am also not a parent of a child with disabilities, but I recognized some equipment for disabilities. This park really has it all.

    This is a nice little park that is located across from a small residential area near the Potomac…read moreYard Rail Station. It has a lot of green space available that is suitable for picnic, playing catch, or tossing a frisbee. Dogs are welcome, but must remain on a leash and must be cleaned up after. There is limited metered street parking available in front of the park and you will find a very nice paved walkway that runs along the front and back sides of the park. You will find a like of joggers and bicyclist using this trail. This park has two completely fenced in play areas. One is a little bigger than the other, but they have pretty much the same equipment. They both have a see-saw, walking beams, sit and spins, a bank of traditional/toddler swings, hammock rockers, and large jungle gyms with slides, monkey bars, rings, and bridges. The smaller play area has a toddler maze and the larger area has a rock structure, and zip hangar. On the perimeter of both areas are benches where caregivers can sit and watch their littles while they play. The park is very well maintained and the equipment looks pretty new and is in great shape. In between the two play ares you will find the highlight of the park, an interactive fountain that features thirty-six water jets. I visited the park on the hot day and the fountain was packed. Pets are not allowed in the fountain as well as the two playground areas. This is a nice linear park, that as i have mentioned, is well maintained. There is tons of seating all over the park. The park does not have much to offer as shade goes, but that should not stop you from visiting. I also did not see any restroom facility either. Even with that, I really like this park and recommend checking this place out.
