Little Dog Run is clean, spacious, and loved by respectful neighbors & friends! There are many benches spaced out around the area for people to sit. I’ve only had pleasant encounters with dog parents who I’ve befriended over the few times I have visited. I would highly recommend this dog park to anyone in the Schuylkill area.

We just LOVE this dog park, but most importantly, our Daisy does! It is clean, and attracts friendly, responsible dog owners who watch their dogs. We generally go into the section for larger dogs because Daisy is 25 lbs, but she’s also been in the smaller section when the large one is empty. In the summer, you’ll find a water fountain and baby pool. In cold weather, bring your own water. If your dog enjoys running, it’s a bonanza! Be prepared for your fur baby to sleep the rest of the day!!

This place is beautiful. It's a little bit of a moderate hike as far as going uphill And maneuvering rocks. Where proper hiking shoe wear. The entire Forest and path sparkles with the formica. There's a water source coming from different directions. My only criticism is at at some points. When you're walking along the water it smells like sewage. 😝😝😝

Beautiful park. Ran there both at night and during the day when visiting Philadelphia. Both times the banks were lively and filled with other runners and pedestrians. Felt very safe even at night with the whole area being illuminated. Very nice view of the Philly skyline.
