About the Park
Chandon Park in Herndon holds a fully fenced dog park with separate small-dog and large-dog areas, an agility ramp, shade trees, and a dirt surface. Double gates and trash cans round out a practical setup, along with water access, seating, and waste bags. It runs 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on weekdays and opens at 8:00 AM on weekends, all free of charge. The agility ramp and shade trees make it more than an open pen, giving active dogs something to do and owners somewhere cool to stand. Herndon sits in Fairfax County's humid Northern Virginia belt, so summers get sticky and the dirt surface can turn muddy after rain. Bring drinking water and cleanup bags, use the double gates, and check the county off-leash page for closures.

Dog Park at Chandon 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
