This place is great! Mostly good dog owners, and the few times I've seen dogs fight, the owners leave right away. Do not come if your dog is a flight risk, there are no fences and it is in the middle of a huge park. There is just a sign that says "dog park starts here." There is a creek too so prepare for wet, mud, sand, etc.

Great area for dogs to roam and run. Water, trees, trails are all there separated from the "people park* by a bridge. It's the best dog run in Arlington.

“Amazing Dog Park for Water-Loving Pups!” Glencarlyn Dog Park is a hidden gem for dogs who love to explore and splash around. The park offers a beautiful, natural setting with plenty of space for off-leash fun. My dog absolutely loved playing in the creek, which is perfect for cooling off on a hot day. The park is well-maintained and has a nice balance of wooded trails and open spaces for running. It’s a great place to let your dog be free and enjoy nature. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe and clean spot to bring their pup!

This is my first time bring8ng my dog here and will definitely not be the last. Plenty of dogs and leash free area for dogs to play. The dogs can play freely in the water and the nature that surrounds it makes this a little dog paradise.

Fantastic dog park. Very clean and lots of space for your dogs to run. It is NOT FENCED!!! So please make sure your dogs have good recall. The entrance is a road only big enough for one car so be careful coming and leaving.
