South Dog Park

You and Skurry should get out in the sun and go to the South Dog Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Skurry will love digging her feet in the grass, dirt, and mulch. When Skurry gets thirsty, no problem, she will enjoy the water fountains on site. This large park features benches for you to sit on as Skurry roams around freely without a leash. 

You'll feel nestled in the forest here with trees all around you in the distance, which creates a calming and isolating atmosphere. Located within the broader South Park, this dog park is close to impressive amenities like free summer concerts, a pond and gazebo, and walking trails. And in the fall, you’ll love the views of the colorful foliage in the distance.

And if you forgot your poop bags at home, no worries, the park provides plenty for you, so make sure to clean up after your furry friend. Have kids? They’ll enjoy the playground and can also bike along the paths. You can make this a day out with Skurry AND the family at this beautiful park within Allegheny County.

Make sure you and Skurry follow the rules posted at the park, or you could get cited by police: Skurry needs to have a license and her up-to-date shots. If she’s in heat, she can’t attend, only nonaggressive dogs are allowed, and you need to keep your leash on you at all times. Babies and small children are allowed in this park, but they need to be under strict supervision. You need to fill in any holes that Skurry dug, and she needs to be under voice control at all times.

You'll be happy to know that there are some shady areas because of the trees in the park. And this park is open year-round, so you can even get out during the winter so that Skurry can frolic in the snow. If you are looking for a large fenced-in dog park nestled in the woods, then take Skurry to the South Dog Park, and you both will have a pawsome time!
