About the Park
The Abington Dog Park at Hillside Park is a fenced off-leash area at the top of the park along Grove Street, featuring separate sections for small and large dogs. It offers benches and chairs for owners to relax while enjoying scenic views. Built by volunteers and maintained by the community, it emphasizes cleanliness and responsible pet ownership.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Hillside 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.
Best of all, Hillside Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
