About the Park
Set in O'Hara Township along the Allegheny River northeast of Pittsburgh, The Docks Dog Park gives local dogs a free place to play off-leash. It operates as a public park, so there is no fee. Details like fencing, surface, and posted hours are not confirmed in this listing, so a quick check with the township is worth doing before a first visit, particularly if you need a fenced area. Western Pennsylvania's seasons run from humid summers to cold, wet winters, which affects footing on the ground. If you live in O'Hara or nearby Fox Chapel-area communities, this is an easy, no-cost option for off-leash time. Carry water and bags in case on-site amenities are limited.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
The Docks Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, The Docks Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
