2. One Loudoun Dog Park
While One Loudoun in Ashburn, Virginia, is known for its great mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment, a lot of people don’t realize there’s also a dog park that’s ideal for canines of all sizes. One Loudoun Dog Park has a fenced area with plenty of shady trees that provide a nice spot to relax on a warm day. There’s great space for dogs to run around as you enjoy watching from a bench or swing. The dog park even provides some dog toys and doggie bags, although you’re encouraged to bring your own water.

The dog park is only open to dogs older than 4 months of age, and all canines must have a valid license and current rabies tag to enter. You need to get a City of Prince Frederick Parks Department dog park usage tag before you can go in, and your dog must wear this tag at all times while in the dog park.
4. Ridge Road Recreational Dog Park
Head out to Ridge Road Recreational Park in Germantown, Maryland, to find the Ridge Road Recreational Dog Park. This dog exercise area is around a half-acre in size and enclosed with a 6-foot high chain link fence.

5. Black Hill Regional Park
Also situated in Germantown, Black Hill Regional Park has a dog park that’s ideal for pups of all sizes.
