Dog walking in Atco

Woodridge

Medford, New Jersey is only a 20-minute drive from Atco, and this 11-mile trip will get you to the Freedom Dog Park. Compared to many dog parks, Freedom Dog Park is massive at 20 acres. There are some areas of the park that are not entirely fenced in, but if your dog responds to voice commands, it will still be a great off-leash park for you to take them to. There are miles of paths in the park, and there is also a large creek and several small streams throughout the park where dogs love to cool off.

Kirkwood

It takes less than 15 minutes to make the seven-mile drive from Atco to Gibbsboro and the United States Avenue Trail, or as it is often referred to as by locals, The Green Trail. This trail is part of a network of former railway lines that have been converted into trails across America where people can run, walk, bike, or walk their dogs and enjoy the outside. This particular part of the trail stretches for two miles, and its smooth asphalt surface is ideal for plenty of different activities. Your trek along the path with your dog will take you past several different sights worth stopping to take a look at.

This dog park has sections for big and small dogs, and there are water fountains on both sides. To visit this park, your dog must be registered with the town, which requires paying a small fee, and then you'll receive a code that allows you to get through the gate. For everyone's comfort, there is plenty of shade provided by trees in the park as well as seating.

Passyunk Square is a neighborhood in Philadelphia best known for its excellent shopping and restaurants. This neighborhood is about 27 miles from Atco, and it's located in central Philadelphia. Passyunk Square is home to the Columbus Square Dog Park. While not particularly large in size, this dog park has plenty of opportunities for dogs to have fun and exercise together. This park isn't separated into big and small dog areas, so all dogs can interact together no matter their size. There are also picnic tables and benches within the park. There is a hose in Columbus Square Dog Park, but you may want to bring your own water in case it isn't turned on when you visit.
