The neighborhood of Lochearn has some lovely, quiet areas where you and your pup can take a leisurely walk. Head over to Gwynns Falls with Fido and follow this stream under the trees as it meanders through the neighborhood. When you want to get a little exercise, take your furry friend to Powdermill Run Park and walk or jog the path that goes around the playground and along the creek. You and Fido can enjoy some time exploring this wooded recreational space together. Dogs are allowed in city parks provided that you keep them on a leash and you pick up any waste.

Willow Glen

You and Fido will find a pawtastic park to investigate together in the neighborhood of Willow Glen. Villa Nova Park, also known as Mill Glen Park, is part of the Gwynns Falls Watershed. In this pupful recreational area, you and your furry friend will be able to stroll along a mile-long trail that follows the stream for half a mile, then loops back to the trailhead through some forested land. This is a popular trail, and you’re likely to encounter other canines and their owners. Remember to keep your pooch under the control of a leash and to pick up any messes along the way.

You can also bring your fishing rod and enjoy a little fishing while your four-footed pal lounges at your side. The park includes some wooded areas, open fields, and a section of Gwynns Falls stream. Dogs are welcome to join you as long as they are kept on a leash and you pick up after them.
