The Doylestown Dog Park is a 3 acre fenced area at Turk Park where dogs are allowed to play off leash. The dog park is divided into three sections: a one-acre large dog area, a one-acre small dog area that is reserved for dogs smaller than 30 pounds and a rotation area that is closed on a rotational basis for rest and maintenance.
The Doylestown Dog Park is open to registered members only. This beautiful space is open to responsible dog lovers, and their well-behaved dogs that are willing to uphold the park system and off-leash area rules and regulations. Membership is valid for one year from registration. We will provide courtesy notices of license vaccine and membership renewal.

The success of the Doylestown Dog Park is due in part to the unique mandatory education session that is required for all park users and submission of dog license, vaccinations and attendance at an educational orientation session. We believe that our requirements result in a better educated participant who understands their responsibility as a dog park user, resulting in a positive experience for all.

The Doylestown Township Park and Recreation system continues to be a dog- friendly environment. Dogs are allowed in all parks as long as they are on leashes unless the area is identified as “no dogs” or at the Dog Park. The Park and Recreation Department promotes “Responsible Dog Ownership” which encourages dog owners to show respect for other park users, other dogs, and their own dogs. By practicing responsible ownership, dog owners can positively impact everyone’s experience in our public parks. Information/Registration, click.
