1. Always make sure the gates are closed behind you when you enter and exit the dog park. Dogs have run out when they are left opened.
2. Please note that Shirlington Dog Park closes at sunset. Everyone and their dogs MUST be out of the park by then. The closest dog park that has lights and is open later is Ft Bernard, which is up the hill on Walter Reed Drive. See the link on our site for details and a list of other dog parks that are open later: https://shirlingtondogs.org/resources
3. Please keep your dogs in sight at all times and pick up after them. Be sure to follow all the other dog park rules including picking up the poop.
4. Paws on the Pike, the annual pet fair, is this Saturday, Oct 1, 1-5 PM at the corner of Columbia Pike and S. Geo Mason Drive. https://www.columbia-pike.org/event/paws-on-the-pike-2022/
5. Thank you to Ruben Fernandez and the county Parks Dept crew for their help in installing the refurbished and the new donated benches.
