Pole Green Dog Park
Huge volunteer-run yards with a time-out pen for overstimulated dogs
About this park
A volunteer-maintained park in Mechanicsville that travelers describe as the largest fenced off-leash run they've found. Separate large- and small-dog yards, a locally-built agility course, a clever 'time out' pen for over-excited dogs, and nearby walking trails for a longer visit.
