About the Park
Palmer Doggie Depot is a volunteer-run dog park in Fishtown, Philadelphia, transformed from a concrete slab in 2014. The fenced-in park features a mixed surface of dirt, cobblestone, and mulch, and is known as one of the cleanest dog parks in Philadelphia.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Palmer Doggie Depot 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, Palmer Doggie Depot 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.
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.
