Piedmont Woods Dog Park
Scenic Clarksburg run with a double-gate and a view
About this park
Piedmont Woods pairs a generously sized off-leash run with some of the prettiest surroundings of any dog park in the Frederick area: wooded edges, a short adjoining walking trail, and clear sightlines to the adjacent playground. A double-gated entry, a drinking fountain with a lower dog-bowl filler, and reliable shade make it easy to settle in for a longer visit. Most visits are uneventful and clean, though a couple of reviewers have flagged occasional reactive dogs, so read the room before unclipping.

Piedmont Woods Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers consistently call out how clean, spacious, and well-maintained the park is, with the double-gate entry and the cold-water tap singled out as small things that make longer visits easy.
Families with kids often treat it as a two-stop: playground on one side of the fence, dog park on the other. Weekday afternoons tend to run family-heavy as a result.

Before you go
If you're hiking the short wooded trail attached to the park, stay off the tall grass; reviewers have reported picking up ticks in that section. Restrooms nearby are limited to a porta potty.
