From sprawling pasture land to winding forest paths, Erie is hardly lacking in green space to get your dog out and give them places to play. When it comes to giving your pup quality time outdoors to get out some of those zoomies, there are few options as delightful as spending some time out socializing at a dog park, and thankfully, Erie has several options, offering everything you and your pup could want. From parks packed with pups racing along agility equipment to hidden gems laced with scenic walking trails, Erie offers dog parks for owners and pups of all interests.
These Are the Best Dog Parks in Erie Pa
Larry R. Fabrizi Dog Park – The Larry R. Fabrizi Dog park features a beautifully maintained set of runs, separated out for both large and small dogs, agility equipment for your pups, plenty of shade for you, and water access for those hot summer days. In addition to the off-leash dog park, there are a variety of gorgeous walking trails winding through the nearby wooded areas, making this park a great choice for both pets and their owners.
Erie Humane Society Dog Park – A little more off the beaten path, this nearly hidden park is both well maintained and extremely scenic. Offering agility equipment for the pups, and located right next to a winding river, this park offers beautiful views and plenty of room for your dogs to exercise. The fenced in park features both large and small dog areas with plenty of space to run, jump, and play.
Presque Isle State Park – While not strictly a dog park, any Erie resident will be happy to laud Presque Isle with plenty of accolades for its long wooded trails, variety of expansive beaches, and stunning views of lake Erie. Dogs are welcome in the park, but must be kept on leashes. With plenty of space to run and play, and ample access to public facilities, this peninsula is a must-visit for pup owning residents and travelers alike.
Conneaut Lake Bark Park – While this park isn’t in the city of Erie itself, a quick jaunt south down 79 will bring you to the resort town of Conneaut Lake and its beautiful Bark Park. With a backdrop of scenic tree-coated rolling PA hills, this park features multiple fenced in areas for dogs of all sizes, from puppies to large dogs. The park also features a pond, with a dock for pups who just can’t get enough of diving in. While it may be a bit off the beaten path, this gem is well worth the visit for those in the Erie area.
