John G. Lancaster Dog Park finds its home on the same property as the 100-acre John G. Lancaster Park in Lexington Park, Maryland. This popular recreational haven boasts of two fully fenced runs where dogs can engage in off-leash exercise, socialization, and fun. Since small, senior, and timid dogs can shy away from play with their larger counterparts, an enclosure has been designed exclusively for their use.Â
This allows dogs to have the opportunity to play with other dogs who are better suited to their specific play style and needs. Since off-leash activity can lead to conflicts between dogs, it is mandatory that all owners provide constant supervision when their dogs are in the play areas. It is also necessary for each owner to carry a lead with them at all times in case of an emergency situation.Â
In accordance with Maryland state legislation, dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the playground areas as well as in all public places. John G. Lancaster Dog Park proudly extends an invitation to all people and their pooches to come enjoy their doggy play haven free of charge. The dog play spaces are complete with drinking water, benches, secure fencing, and poop bags.Â
The responsibility for all pet waste removal falls to each owner. John G. Lancaster Park, a family-friendly destination, offers many great recreational opportunities sure to delight each member of the family. Among the outdoor activities are hiking trails, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, a picnic pavilion, and an on-site concession stand selling snacks and drinks.Â
