A great place for dogs
Being approximately two acres in size, Shirlington Dog Park is a park where your dog can run freely unleashed. It consists of a narrow, quarter-mile length with an accessible trail that runs along an urban stream on the one side and warehouse buildings on the other. There are entrances/exits on both ends, and one near the middle of the park, so you can simply walk through the park from one end and exit the other if you'd like. There is also a fenced-in creek where you can take your dog down to swim when the weather gets hot.
Shirlington Dog Park has separate areas for large and small dogs to play. It is open every day of the year during daylight hours and receives over 200,000 visits annually. Dogs only allowed off leash in designated dog parks and are never allowed on athletic fields.
