Angelina always does such a great job with my dog! He isn t the friendliest with other dogs and she makes sure not the put him in situations that would worsen that. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail is so appreciated!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Reading

Pennside

Mineral Springs Park is a great place to go if you want to take your dog for a walk. This leashed only park is tucked away from the noise of the street, and tends to be a less populated place. If you just want to put in the miles with an energetic dog, this is the place to do it! When you’ve worked up a sweat, swing by Reading Liederkranz. This German restaurant is dog friendly, and has an all you can eat German cuisine tour the third Wednesday of the month! There are occasional other dog-friendly events as well.

West Reading

West Reading is home to the Reading Public Museum Arboretum. This destination is a great change of pace for dogs and humans alike! Dogs must remain on leash in the park in order to protect the plants, and the more than 15 art installations and sculptures in the Arboretum! Visit seasonally to see the more than 30 varieties of trees (and many more species of flowers!) in every beautiful aspect! The Arboretum is large enough that it could be worth spending a morning here, but the artful layout of the space makes it possible to get a good walk in under an hour if you’re ready to hustle.

Riverview Park

The Jim Dietrich Dog Park in Riverview is a pawsome dog park to visit! There is a fenced in area within the larger Jim Dietrich Park, so depending on where you park, you may have to walk a little to find it. There are two fenced in areas in the dog park itself, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. The fenced in areas are simple, with the main feature being the grassy, open space. There are no water fountains, so bring a bowl and a jug with you to the park. Once inside the run, the popularity of the park ensures that your dog will have a playful time making new friends!

Nolde Forest

Nolde Forest is a great place to visit with your dog. Though very close to the heart of downtown Reading (a quick 15 minute drive), the forest can make you feel like you got away from it all! This is one of the best places in the area to walk energetic dogs who need to go the distance!

Energetic dogs will love the sheer size of this retreat. There are 10 walking trails that criss-cross Nolde Forest, covering more than 660 acres. Consult a map before you set off, and be sure to bring water (and a snack if desired!). The forest is left very natural; there are few benches and no fountains or other amenities.

Baumstown

Just fifteen minutes down the road from Reading is Baumstown, a neighborhood in Birdsboro. It’s worth the short trip, because Baumstown hosts the Danielle Ruiz-Murphy Center for Animal Welfare and Dog Park! This dog park is huge, with two fenced in areas. One is for large dogs, and the other is for small dogs. Small dogs are free to enter the large dog area if they’re not easily intimidated! The fenced areas are perfect for off leash play, and the park is a popular destination for social dogs who want to make friends and burn off their energy. Just bring your own water, as the park’s fountains don’t always work.
