Dog walking in Wayne

Radnor Park Trail

Radnor Park Trail is located in central Wayne, and residents and visitors alike love how friendly (including dog-friendly!), safe, and peaceful this area is. The Radnor Trail was created from an abandoned rail line, and it has now been connected to a network of trails that stretch across the United States known as the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. This trail is almost 2.5 miles long, and it is open to both humans and dogs. While you work your way along the trail you'll come across parks, wooded areas, and other pooches for your pet to meet.

West Wayne

West Wayne is actually more central than west, but this is a quaint, family-friendly area that is an excellent place to live and be a dog owner. West Wayne is home to the McKaig Nature Center. This 89-acre nature area welcomes dogs on leashes, and there is plenty for you and your pooch to explore. There are more than two miles of marked trails to explore, but many visitors have discovered several more paths they love to explore with their canine companions. The McKaig Nature Center offers educational experiences, community events, and volunteering opportunities, and the entire park relies solely on memberships and donations.

St. Davids

The area of St. Davids in Wayne, Pennsylvania was named after an 18th-century church in the area. This quiet community is only fifteen minutes from Philadelphia, but there is lots to do without going far. You and your pooch must make visiting the Harford Park Off-Leash Area a priority when you're in the area. There is plenty of space for dogs to run and play, benches for humans to sit on, and water fountains to keep your dog hydrated while they play. This park is situated on a large slope, so it's an excellent spot to get a mini-hike in if you feel like exercising alongside your pup!

Spruce Hill

Spruce Hill is a historical and diverse area of West Philadelphia that is only a fifteen-minute drive from Wayne. This quick drive will get you and your pup to the Schuylkill River Dog Park, which has separate sections for big and small dogs. The park also features drinking water for your pets as well as a hose to wash them off before you head home. Visitors to the Schuylkill River Park note that the patrons (those on two legs as well as those on four) are very friendly, and there are always other pooches around for your dog to play with.

North Wales

North Wales is a suburb of Philadelphia that is less than a 30-minute drive from Wayne. North Wales has a historic district, a business district, and plenty of other places to explore including the Montgomery Township Bark Park. This fenced-in park has everything you could ever hope for in a dog park: fresh water, toys, obstacles, benches, large and small dog areas, pooper-scoopers, and waste bags. There are trees scattered throughout the park, and much of the ground is mulch. There is even a pawsome dog statue in the park, so your pet is sure to feel like they've come to the right place for having a good time with other dogs.
