The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Essington

Lester

Lester Park is a wide-open space park with few amenities. A small playground and swings is available for children, and the large open lawn is a great place for a leashed and quiet walk with your pup. Check out Manor Park where there's a nice walking track for an on-leash walk with your pooch. The open expanse of lawn in the center of the park makes a great playground for Fido to enjoy a round of Fetch. Try a walk among the trees at the outer perimeter of the park; there's sure to be some sniff-tastic adventures to be found.

Town Center

The Governor Printz Park is a dogtastic venue for a leashed walk near the banks of the Delaware River. Your pup will enjoy running the trails or helping you find the historical stone game that is on the property. You can enjoy tasty treats at the Food Trucks that congregate on Wednesdays at the park. Take a seat on one of the benches after your walk to eat your lunch and watch the flights take off from the Philadelphia airport or the activity on the river. When traveling through Essington, stay at the Motel 6 Essington Airport where up to three fur babies are welcome at no extra charge.

Leedom

Just 2.5 miles from Essington is the Leedom neighborhood of Ridley Park. Enjoy the Leedom Estate Park for a pawsome leashed walk with your pup on the lush lawn and around the sports fields. Adjacent to this park is the James Pentimall Park that honors an important citizen of Ridley Park. This small park is a perfect spot for a short walk or some exercise for smaller pups. Itching for more? The John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge allows your pup to explore 10 miles of wooded walking trails and acres of tidal marshland for a snifftastic adventure as you spot birds and other animals living in the area.

Ridley Park

If you love to watch ducks at play, enjoy sneaking up on a wild turkey, or just want to catch a glimpse of a majestic Bald Eagle, bring Fido to East Lake Park to enjoy the walking trails and floating fishing dock. Notice the restored pump house from the turn of the century and the beautiful fountain. After a big day in the park, stop in at Big Daddyz Barbecue and Grill for a big plate of ribs, or treat yourself at Chill Out Ice Cream and Water Ice and get one of the 125 flavors of ice cream at one of the dog friendly tables at each restaurant.

Swarthmorewood

Six miles from Essington in nearby Swarthmore, you'll find the Paulson Park where you can enjoy a pawsome leashed walk on the walkways or some fetching and frisbee time in the wide open grassy spaces. Your pup will enjoy exploring among the trees on the perimeter of the park to see if he can sniff out a squirrel. Bring along a picnic and enjoy a little more time outside in nature before returning home. Bring along the kids to enjoy the playgrounds and open space to run and play.
