The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Fairfax Station

Hampton

On the southern edge of the city is the neighborhood of Hampton, a quiet and residential community. The neighborhood is outlined by the Occoquan Reservoir and provides lots of green space along the water for dogs and humans to enjoy. The Sandy Run Regional Park features over 200 acres of forests, open spaces and 2,000 meters of waterfront. Six different dog-friendly trails span throughout the park, including paved, dirt, and nature trails. There's also camping sites, fishing and boating spots, restrooms, and open areas that dogs can enjoy and run around in. Dogs must remain on a leash at all times with access to water fountains, clean-up stations, and benches.

Fairwood Acres

The Fairwood Acres neighborhood is in the central part of the city, with lots of wooded areas and streets lined with residential homes. The Poburn Woods Park is dog-friendly and provides dog-walkers with quiet places to go for a walk, featuring serene wilderness with privacy, shade, and open trails. The park connects to the Sandy Run Stream Valley Park, a different area that offers lots of wilderness terrain and fishing spots along the Randy Run creek that cuts through the park. Both parks are pretty rural and offer few amenities, so don't forget to stock up on water and clean-up bags beforehand!

Belmead

Belmead is the eastern neighborhood of Fairfax Station, and one of the largest neighborhoods in town, with the largest population too. With so many people, residents and pups head to the South Run Park, a large park that's separate from the dog park in town, with open space, ballfields, and concrete walkways. Leashed pups are welcome at the park, and can find amenities like water fountains, clean-up stations, benches, and nighttime lights. A less traveled park is the Recreation Lake Park, a quiet wooded area next to Lake Mercer, with dirt and nature trails with spots for fishing, boating, and swimming for you and your dog. The area is undeveloped though, so remember to bring clean-up bags and water for Fido.

Springwood

Springwood is a quaint and cozy little neighborhood in the town of Woodbridge, 1.2 miles south of Fairfax Station. The neighborhood is popular with outside guests thanks to the Lake Ridge Park and Marina. The park and marina are dog-friendly, with walking trails, nature paths, grilling stations, and boat rentals for dogs 40 pounds and under. Dogs must remain on a leash at the park and can explore, swim, or just take a quiet walk in the woods with their owners. Additional amenities in the park include water fountains, clean-up stations, covered benches, trash bins, and nighttime lights. The park's hours are from sunrise to sunset, with the marina only being open on the weekends.

Lorton Town Center

Head 7 miles south of Fairfax Station to the city of Lorton for a visit to the Mill River Park, a scenic park that's less than two years old, right next to the Occoquan River. The small park has a looping trail that goes around the park, with green space for running around. Dogs must remain on a leash inside the park, and can enjoy water fountains, benches, and trash bins. Down the street is The Blue Arbor Cafe, a dog-friendly venue that offers sweet treats and baked goods, with a dog-friendly patio and free water bowls for dogs.
