About the Park
City skyline views are a rare dog-park perk, and Bok Building Dog Park has them, along with a gated entryway, full fencing, seating, a water fountain, and waste-bag and cleanup stations. It sits on South 9th Street (19148) at the Bok building, the converted South Philadelphia vocational school that anchors this stretch of the neighborhood. Hours run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and entry is free. The gated, fully fenced setup makes it a strong pick for dogs that bolt, while the on-site water spares you hauling a bottle in summer. Surface type isn't recorded, so dress for whatever is underfoot. Note the gate schedule — it closes earlier than sunrise-to-sunset parks.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Bok Building Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Best of all, Bok Building Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
