Urbana District Park
A roomy county dog park inside a full-scale suburban rec complex
About this park
Urbana District Park is a sprawling Frederick County recreation area that packs a dedicated dog park into grounds also filled with walking trails, ballfields, and picnic pavilions. Reviewers repeatedly call it "an absolute gem" and "a spacious dog park for your four legged friends," and the pairing of off-leash space with miles of leashed trail loops makes it a strong pick for a full afternoon out.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 706 Google reviewsVisitors rave about how well-maintained and clean the grounds stay across every season, and the dog park gets called out specifically as roomy enough for bigger dogs to actually stretch out. The variety of adjacent trails and fields means you can extend the outing after off-leash time.
This is a family-destination park first, with steady weekend traffic from Urbana and New Market residents. Expect a friendly, suburban crowd and the ambient activity of youth sports games nearby.

Before you go
Parking is plentiful on-site, so drive in rather than walking over from the neighborhood across Urbana Pike. The four-lane road crossing is dicey on foot and by bike.
