About the Park
Serving the Mount Joy area in Rapho Township, Lancaster County, this dog park gives local dogs a free off-leash space in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. It runs as a public park, so there is no charge. The park keeps its own website, which is the best place to confirm current rules, fencing, and hours before you go, since those details are not all captured here. Lancaster County's farmland setting brings warm, humid summers and cold winters, so bring water in the heat. If you live in or around Mount Joy, it is a convenient no-cost option for letting your dog run leash-free. Check the park's site for the latest access information ahead of a first visit.
