About the Park
Delaware River views come with the territory at Penn's Landing Dog Park, a fully fenced, free off-leash space at 1 North Delaware Avenue on Philadelphia's waterfront (19106). Small and large dogs get separate areas, mature trees throw shade over the gravel surface, and the basics are covered with seating and waste-bag stations. Water access is listed too, which helps on Philadelphia's muggy summer days. Hours run 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, so this isn't an early-dawn or late-night option — plan around the gate schedule. Old City and Society Hill sit a short walk inland, making it easy to fold the park into a longer riverfront outing. For a no-cost city dog park, the amenity list is unusually complete.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Penn's Landing Dog 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.
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, Penn's Landing Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

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.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
