One Loudoun Dog Park

We have been to this park a handful of times with our 1.5 year old lab mix, and I give it about a 3.5. It’s a nice sized space, plenty of shade, and tons of tennis balls everywhere. For the most part we have encountered friendly dogs and attentive owners, which is so important for maintaining a safe environment for all involved. I will say that on two separate occasions that was not the case, though, with a female Doberman and an unaltered male pitbull.
Long story short, the Doberman punctured holes in our dog’s collar when she latched on to her. Rather than apologize, the owner tried to say it was our fault for keeping her collar on.
On a different visit, a man brought in a large unaltered male pit who was kept on a leash and was obviously aggressive towards any dog that got too close.
Will we return here? Probably. Will we watch with our dog from the other side of the fence before entering? Definitely.

I went during business hours so I wasn’t expecting a lot of other dogs to be there. It is small but definitely enough room with my pup being the only one. Lots of trees so it didn’t feel as hot with the shade.
Plenty of old tennis balls. My pup favored playing fetch with those then the ones that we brought. Don’t worry if you forget to bring any.
Bring your own water. There were at least 4 bowls when we went. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to make sure all fence doors are closed.
Con: there were a few fallen trees that were great to sit on. I used them to teach him how to jump over but there were a few with branches that were sticking out; that could have been very dangerous.
FYI: There’s the fenced in part for dogs and then outside is a regular park for kids. Great for a family setting.

Great park, but small and lots of trees. Good place to take your dogs in the summer since not much sun gets through…
Bring your own bowl and water. Most people had their own water jugs and dogs just drank out of every bowl that was on the ground.
Not a good place if your dog like to run and chase balls… not enough room. I like this park since my Great Dane isn’t a runner and he can just walk around and sniff in the shade.

My 5-​month-​old Goldendoodle and I visited this dog park for the first time last week. It is very close to our home so I’d give it 5 stars for that. Although there are trees in the park, I did not find that especially negative. However the entrance gate was off kilter and difficult to get into with an excited puppy — later I realized there is a second gate further down which functioned properly. My biggest issue with this park was the mud. Although there are wood chips, there are not enough and the center of the park was just a mud hole. When we left my pup was covered in mud — she enjoyed herself very much but I would have appreciated a bit more ground covering. My pup had her first bath — unintended — after this visit! I hope that as the weather warms up the ground will dry up a bit. We will go back. As others have said there is no water, no benches and it is a bit hard to see until you wander into the park. The area is owned by the development behind it. Given the high end of these homes, I would hope that they will provide better maintenance this spring.

Pros: Nice location — beautiful wooded area with nice walkway and nearby stream. The nearby stream (outside the fenced dog area) is convenient to rinse off muddy paws and get a drink because there is no water stations in the dog park. Also, the park is stocked with plenty of tennis balls and sticks to play with.
Cons: Small area, gets pretty muddy, too many trees to play a good game of fetch, no water stations, no benches.
Overall, we met some nice people and dogs there and plan to go back since it is so close to our home, but this place is not the best for my lab who is a fetchaholic and did not enjoy her ball constantly ricocheting off trees.

Like the others have said this is a fun dog park. LOTS of trees within the fenced area. Which means lots of leaves in fall/​winter when we went. The small trees could possibly be dangerous for any dogs with only so-​so agility. I could easily see the potential for a dog chasing and running into a tree… OUCH. The area is actually rather large but feels a little cramped with all the trees. A TON of used tennis balls strewn about. No water. As newbies our pup had to «borrow» some from another owner that clearly knew the drill. Another downside was the fact that our dog got sick within 24 hours of sniffing some poop that wasn’t picked up that was still contagious with Coccidia. Not fun for our dood :-(
Haven’t been back out of caution to make sure he has plenty of time to recover and build a (hopefully) stronger immune system. Otherwise, he had a blast with a number of dogs, mostly of the medium-​sized variety. Will try again when the weather starts to warm up. Does not have separate area for small dogs.

Loved this park and how it has a «natural» setting. Smaller than the Leesburg park.
I’m giving it a 4 star for it being extremely muddy. No mulch like Leesburgs park.
We love it and will return. It took us awhile to find it. It’s between the Alamo and new homes. Turn on the street behind the Alamo and follow it down to the construction site.

We have been looking for a good dog park since Brambleton was disassembled. This seems like a great alternative. Not a lot of action yet. It’s set back in the woods behind the Alamo Drafthouse. The one weird thing is there are no benches inside, only on the outside of the fence. But our dog had a great time running around.

Since the Brambelton dog park closed I’ve been looking for a new park to take my dogs. I recently discovered that the one loudoun dog park opened. The first con about this place is that it’s very hard to find. It’s in the park behind the one loudoun shopping center but the dog park is not visible from the road. There is a red barn at the entrance of the park and you just take the walking trail all the way through the park and at the end is where the dod park is located. Since it’s new and not many people know about it yet there isn’t a lot of dogs there. Sometimes I’ll go there and we’ll be the only ones, the most I’ve ever seen there at one time is five dogs. The park does have doggy waste bags but they don’t have water or water bowls so you’re going to need to bring your own. Another con is that the park is small, I would say smaller than the Brambelton one. A big pro is that the park is covered by a ton of trees so it doesn’t get very hot in there, even on a summer day. Overall I’m glad another dog park opened in Ashburn and I will continue to bring my dogs here.
