St. Charles Parkway

St. Charles Parkway

For a great off-leash dog park, head over to the St. Charles Parkway in Waldorf, and check out the White Plains Dog Park. This one-acre dog park has a separate area for large dogs and small/shy dogs. It also has a picnic pavilion where owners can sit while their dogs play. There’s water available in summer, but in winter, the water is shut off.

This casual restaurant has six dog-friendly outdoor tables, and serves classic all-American dishes like burgers, wings, and chili dogs.
