| General Information |
The dog park was established in 2012 in partnership with Doylestown Township, Doylestown Borough and County of Bucks as well as other public and private partners to address the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.
Amenities: Three off-leash sections defined by size (1 acre for small dogs, 1 acre for large dogs and 1 acre rotation area to preserve the turf). Other amenities include, shaded pavilion areas, waste bags and receptacles, water fountains, benches, trees and shrubs for screening and shade and informational kiosk. This beautiful space is open to responsible dog lovers, and their well-behaved dogs that are willing to uphold the park system and off-leash area rules and regulations.
The success of the Doylestown Dog Park is due in part to the unique mandatory education session that is required for all park users and submission of dog license, vaccinations and attendance at an educational orientation session. We believe that our requirements result in a better educated participant who understands their responsibility as a dog park user, resulting in a positive experience for all.
The “orientation” session will show new members what to expect from dogs and people at the parks. At the conclusion of the session, you will be given an attendance certificate which is required for registration. All household members that will use the park are required to attend the orientation. Only individuals who have been to orientation are permitted to take properly “registered dogs” to the park.
First time registrants can sign up either at the conclusion of orientation or at the Doylestown Township Administrative office (with required paperwork).
Getting Started:
1) Get started by logging into your household account or creating a household
account.
2) All dogs must be entered as members in your household (you will be asked to identify
"human" or canine"
3) Please consider "opting in" for email notifications to receive updates/announcements
relative to the dog park.
4) Important > All household members over the age of 18 that will be taking the registered
dog(s) to the dog park must attend an orientation session. Children under the age of 14
years are not permitted in any section of the dog park (including the pavilion).
