About the Park
Upper Allen Dog Park sits within the Daybreak park area in Upper Allen Township, on the West Shore south of Harrisburg in Cumberland County. It is a free public park with off-leash access, and the township's website covers current rules and hours. Fencing and surface details are not all confirmed here, so the township page is the best source before a first visit. Central Pennsylvania's seasons bring humid summers and cold winters, so pack water when it is warm and expect footing to vary. If you live around Mechanicsburg and the West Shore, it is a convenient no-cost place to give your dog leash-free time. Check the township site for the latest access details before you head over.
