Green Tree Dog Park (Restricted, Residents Only)

Where are all the dogs? I walk around this park often and it's very rare to see anyone using this dog park. I guess Green Tree residents take their dogs elsewhere. I wonder why. Is it because the park is too small? Or is it because of all the noise being right next to 376? $20 fee seems reasonable enough. Maybe they don't want to deal with the FREE Behavioral study at Camp Bow Wow. For the sake of GT residents, I hope all the $20 fees their borough collects for their dog park membership covers the upkeep of this underused amenity. Those who do the upkeep at Green Tree park do a great job with all the maintenance required to keep all of this park looking great all year round.

Very small, only a dozen yards or so from a loud major highway. Gate is locked and can only be opened with Greentree resident ID card. Dogs are not allowed elsewhere in the park. If you're an "outsider" with a dog, don't waste your time. Never even heard of anything like this. Curious how this rule heavy, restrictive setup came to be.

Users must be Green Tree residents, must complete an application, provide a deposit, and the dogs must pass camp bow wow behavioral study before use of this park. This is the most restrictions I've seen of any open-air dog park in the Pittsburgh area. And, not surprisingly, the area is completely empty on Saturday afternoon.

I have had numerous dogs. Don't have one now but use the walking path past this place often. I also believe I read dog park it is for Greentree resident use. Overall a nice, clean, fully fenced in dog park. It's never super crowded either, 2 or 3 dogs at one time is busy. If I had a dog and had access I would use often. Some dog owners feel the same way. I see the same dogs and owners in park often. Have said in my overall park review, location is a pretty safe for all and is a generally nice area. Dog Park is a nice size but not super large. Size is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Other than that it's gets 5.

I was looking for a nice park to take my dog that wasn’t a small forgotten area in the corner of a park. However, after reading the reviews, I was surprised to find out you have to reside in Greentree, pay a membership fee, and take your dog to training before you can use the park. It’s a step up from a few other doggy litter boxes but it’s not that special. A little prejudice Greentree?? Keep your park.
