South Side Dog Park
Flat fenced acre on the Mon, two sides and easy parking
About this park
A flat, fenced South Side dog park split into separate large-dog and small-dog yards, built on flat ground along the Monongahela with river views from benches outside the fence. Some low agility equipment inside keeps higher-energy dogs occupied, and the Cinema Drive parking lot makes it one of the easier in-city parks to get in and out of.

Before you go
No on-site water fountain and no lighting, so bring your own water and plan around daylight. Cleanup compliance is uneven; watch your step, especially near the gate.
