My dog is fine once she gets into the open area but can be leash aggressive when on the leash. Which the one time we were going, two dog owners were coming (one to and one from) the park where their dogs were OFF LEASH on the path outside of the dog park., on way to parking lot. One came towards my pup very aggressively. My neighbor hasn't been there for a few years either because his gentle dog was viciously attacked (as in grabbing her by neck//throught, standing over, shaking her, and her owner did nothing, until others yelled at said owner,, who picked her dog up and just left without making sure his dog was okay, or apologize. After owner left, friend said he picked his dog and rushed her to the vet, Another time, my first time there, I took my two to the smaller side, and my beagle was doing well until a gentleman arrived with his small dog who immediately went after my beagle in a very aggressive way and he said "just let them work it out." Thankfully the others there said "No. you don't do that with someone's first time experience bringing their dog to a dog park," which felt good to be supported in that way Finally, one other time, it was a pleasant experience, the people welcomed us in, asked about our dog, helped if either of our dogs seemed overwhelmed, etc. As a result, it is hard for me to say whether or not I would recommend this park since I have not been there for five years.

Its a gravel path around perimeter and is exactly 1 mile so its great for keeping track of your distance and pace. There's also numerous fitness stations if you want to do a full circuit workout. * There are multiple baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, a volleyball pit and horseshoes. * You can rent out shaded pavilions and grills for parties and evens. They are pretty nice and spacious. * A mid-sized playground for 1 to 6 year olds. The older kids seem to enjoy it too. * Ample parking with multiple large lots located around the park. The one area for improvement would be add more trees and bushes for shade and scenery. Some masonry, and maybe monuments with local history on it would be a nice bonus.

This dog park is an example of the way such parks should be established. Dogs are animals and…read morehumans need to recognize the risks involved in having a dog park including the possibility that even nice dogs don't love all other dogs and people. The measures Whitpain used to make this a safe dog park including requiring up to date vaccinations are for safety. It is well known that less controlled dog parks can result in canine disease spreading. In addition many people do not train their dogs and have little control over them. Dogs can be triggered and may bite or attack other dogs or humans trying to separate them. Humans are responsible for ensuring such parks are safe for dogs and people. I see nothing wrong with requiring a bit of education of dog owners regarding canine behaviors and warning signs to protect all involved. If you don't like the rules don't join. There are plenty of parks around with zero controls- good luck because you may need it.

Woof woof ruff woof woof woof awoooo! ~Translation~…read moreI start whining as soon as we pull into the driveway because I know we are at the best dog park in town! This is a MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED dog park, and it is well worth it because it gives you a somewhat safer state of mind knowing that there is accountability of who comes in and out of the dog park. Annual membership is $35 for residents of Whitpain and $50 for non-residents which is a very reasonable fee. If you go to the township's website there is orientation sign ups that are mandatory. It is just a basic class to go over dog park etiquette and dog behavior. I also like that the parking is right next to the dog park and there is alot of visibility. They recently added lights and soon water! Everyone that I met is friendly (humans and dogs alike) and there is a good regular crowd between dinner time and sunset. My experience here is definitely better than that of other dog parks. Dog owners are actively engaged with their dogs and sometimes conversating with other humans. There is a small dog area that seems like it is not used as often as the big dog area. Depending on your comfort level and your type of dog, the small dogs are sometimes in on the big dog side and having fun too!

We took a short walk then drove around to the other side where there were pavilions and a nature center whcih I will discuss in a separate review. From our brief visit, this Doylestown park has a lot to offer. Fishing, boating, picnicking, birdwatching and more. We will be back for sure to explore more.

Kitchens lane has been a point of contention for years now. I see community posts about dog beach and dog meet ups at kitchen lane. I would like to see signs or notice reenforcing the rules of the Wissahickon creek. Dogs are to be on a leash at all times 6ft maximum. I have had countless amount of hostile interactions with Dog owners explaining the rules. I have 3 small children that I fish with at Kitchens lane with. 1st for the protection of my children dogs should be on a leash , 2nd I purchase a fishing license every year. Which permits me to fish in the wissahickon creek. Please correct me if I am wrong. There is no such permit or license which allows dog owners to let there dogs roam freely thru the Wissahickon or Fairmount park. Again I understand everyone want to enjoy nature.

This park is right off Bristol Road on an old air base and you couldn't possibly miss it. It's a spot that will please people of all sorts, as there is quite a bit to do. There is a pretty long track that runs along the perimeter of the place, with exercise spots along the way. I believe it says it's about 2.5 miles, which is great if you're trying to keep some accountability. You'll even get to see the abandoned neighborhood through some of the fencing as you walk, which is kind of cool to see. This place also has a dog park within it, as well as a huge playground. It's a great spot to bring the kids, but make them go to the bathroom beforehand. The restrooms are locked for the winter and the porta potties aren't in great shape. If you find yourself wondering across the street, there is another park (Munro) that offers another playground and a place for the skateboarders to let loose. If you know what geocaching is, you will also be able to partake in some of that. Most people I encounter absolutely love this park. Great for runners, bladers, and bikers. For me personally, I enjoy places that are a little more quiet and have nature trails. This place works though.
