About the Park
Grass underfoot, a fully fenced dog area, and a lighted walking path make Hooff's Run Park & Greenway one of the better-equipped stops in Alexandria's Del Ray area, at 18 E Linden St in the 22301 zip. The off-leash section sits within a larger public park that also offers a playground, tennis and basketball courts, picnic sites, and seating, so families can split up without leaving the grounds. Water access is listed for thirsty dogs, and lighting extends usability into darker winter afternoons. The park is free, with listed hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Virginia's humid summers reward morning visits; the grass surface is gentler on paws than gravel in the heat.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Hooff's Run Park & Greenway 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.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Hooff's Run Park & Greenway is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
