South Park Dog Park
County-park fenced acre south of town, two sides and a pavilion
About this park
A generous fenced off-leash yard inside Allegheny County's South Park, about 12 miles south of downtown, with a separate small-dog side, a covered shelter, water fountains, and a big open field for running. Like the rest of South Park it's surrounded by county-park extras (hiking trails, car cruises, playgrounds) that extend the visit.

Before you go
Bare spots turn muddy after rain; reviewers recommend giving it a day to dry before visiting. Intact males and females draw regular complaints in reviews, which is a hint that the culture leans neutered-and-spayed.
