Big Dog Run is a beloved spot for Philadelphia’s canine residents and their owners. Located within the Schuylkill River Park, it’s a place where larger breeds can frolic and play without restraint. The park’s thoughtful design includes separate areas for big and small dogs, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all. With its synthetic grass and well-maintained grounds, Big Dog Run is a year-round haven for dogs to exercise and socialize. It’s a testament to the city’s commitment to providing pet-friendly spaces and fostering a sense of community among pet owners.

Really large area for your dog to really run and play. Has a city supplied dog fresh water watering area, the grass is artificial and really clean. There is also a separate area just as nice for the smaller breeds as well. Also has direct access to the Schuylkill River Trail. Didn't run into any aggresive dogs and all the dog owners were very nice to talk to. You will find bringing your dog here is a pleasure and like I said the other dog owners are not snobby like you find at smaller parks were they make you feel like you dont belong or need a membership to use those other dog parks which make you feel like an outcast. Best dog park I have been to in the city so far. Highly reccomend this place. Me and Lydia had a blast.

All the dog parents were so cool. I took my dog to this place and got to see her frolic with other dogs! Such an experience were coming back. The best part free parking no one gave me a ticket considering the location.

By far the best dog park in the tri-state area. Super clean, friendly, and perfectly situated along the river. They have a small park for small dogs, and a large park for larger dogs. Very nice masonry, and turf for the dogs to run and play on. Water hoses readily available to fill up little dog pools for them to cool down in the summer. Can’t think of any other aspect to improve. Keep it up guys.
