Dog walking in Alverton

Three Mile HIll Road

Mount Pleasant, just two miles from Alverton, is the perfect place to go for a doggie dinner date! It's home to Nino's Restaurant. The staff here is welcoming and friendly to all customers -- both human and canine! Both the front and back patios are open to pets; the back has smoking while the front does not. The fare is classic Italian. Grab a chicken parm in the dining room that was once a farmhouse speakeasy. The menu also has vegan and gluten-free options for you to choose from. You and Fido will leave with a full belly and a wagging tail!

Southwest

While you are in Mount Pleasant, take your pup for a stroll along the Coal and Coke Trail. This trail, converted from an abandoned railroad corridor, follows along the former route of the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad. You and your pooch can enjoy plenty of natural beauty along this six-mile trail. As part of the Rails-to-Trails system, this paved trail is well taken care of. Make sure you bring water with you for your adventures along the trail. Keep your dog on her leash. Please clean up after you dog so that the trail stays enjoyable for everyone.

South Greensburg

Greensburg is just thirteen miles from Alverton. It has a few dog-friendly places, one of which is Five Star Trail. This is an eight-mile trail that, like the Coal and Coke Trail, was once a railroad corridor, but is now part of Pennsylvania Clean Ways. The idea was to provide everyone with a safe place to get out and enjoy the fresh air, beautiful scenery, and the benefits of being active. You and your dog will love the area because it is a natural walking trail. You will have to keep your pet on his leash. Make sure you bring doggie waste bags and lots of bottled of water with you.

Northside

Twin Lakes Park in Greensboro is also known as Northside Park. This is a fun family park where you can bring the whole pack to play! You will find ponds to fish in, trails to walk, and even playgrounds to play on. The best part is the off-leash dog park, where you can let your dog off his leash so he can sniff out some new furry friends! The dog park provides doggie waste bags, water fountains, and lots of shaded areas to sit and watch your dog play. It is a tail-waggingly good place to run and romp!

Downtown Greensburg

Sun Dawg Cafe in Greensburg is a dog-friendly restaurant where you can bring your dog to enjoy a meal. From open-faced omelets to Thai red curry bowls, you are sure to find your new favorite dish. You will need to keep your dog on his leash while you are here. Aggressive dogs and their owners will be asked to leave. This local favorite is open until 4 PM most days, but stays open for dinner (until 9 PM) on Thursdays and Fridays. It's also a great spot for Saturday morning breakfast! One of the best places to sit in on the patio, where you and Fido can enjoy the quiet of the morning together. Bone appetite!
