The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Gaithersburg

Kentlands

The neighborhood of Kentlands in Gaithersburg boasts both water and green space, making it a perfect location to call home if you are a dog owner! This community is thriving with lots of shopping and entertainment, which means that a walk around the neighborhood could be just as exciting as a day at the park! If a day at the park is what you are looking for, however, residents of Kentlands often bring their pooches to Little Quarry Park where they can get some exercise and take a dip in the water. Also in Kentlands there are four lakes called Inspiration Lake, Lake Lynette, Lake Helene, and Lake Nirvana. We are pawsitive your pup will enjoy exploring them all.

Lakelands

Being right next door to Kentlands, the Lakelands neighborhood is very close to the lakes and parks within the neighboring community. However, many dog owners enjoy calling Lakelands home as it is a bit of a quieter neighborhood and has access to its own park. It is also close to a couple of different lakes. Dog owners and their pups will enjoy taking leisurely strolls through the neighborhood with Four Corners Park as their destination. To cool off, feel free to head over to Lake Varnuna or Lake Placid to let your furry friend have a quick dip to cool off.

Strawberry Knoll Park

Strawberry Knoll Park is a popular neighborhood for dog owners and dogs alike, as it has a large park, a body of water, and is close to other large parks in its neighboring communities. With quick access to Strawberry Knoll Local Park, as well as a large body of water within the center of the community, there are ample opportunities for fun to be had. Strawberry Knoll Park is also close to some of the dog friendly restaurants in the area, such as Bruster’s Real Ice Cream and Barking Mad Café.

Flower Hill

Flower Hill is a hit amongst dog owners who like to call this neighborhood home! Why you ask? Well, it has one of the largest parks in the city! Flower Hill Park is located centrally in the neighborhood, which is excellent for residents throughout. With lots of wide open space, your four legged friend will have a blast going for a walk, run, bike ride, roller blade, or any other fun activity you can think of! As there is a sports field and an elementary school nearby, it is advisable to bring a leash.

Shady Grove Village

Shady Grove Village is one of the best neighborhoods for dog owners in Gaithersburg, as it is nearby the Dog Park at King Farm, and provides access to Mattie JT Stepanek Park and Green Park. The Dog Park at King Farm and Green Park both offer exercise areas for dogs, which allows them to make friends with the other pups while their humans socialize with other dog owners. What a great way to make friends! Also, not too far away on the other side of the highway, there are a couple dog friendly restaurants, such as Coastal Flats and Ted’s Bulletin.
