Reynold’s Dog Park

So you start out by pulling in the drive way. Sit there for a minute or two to get a feeling for how the other dogs are. When u go up to the first gate u open it up and ur in a type of Sally port which shuts behind u. It’s kind of a piece of mind cause there’s no open gate to get out. Once you open that second gate then your four legged friend hauls azz into the wide open, clustering with the multitude of doggies.
The place is broken down into two dog parks. One is for small dogs and that is located on the other side of the parking lot which is clearly marked and the other one is for larger breed dogs. The larger breed dogs is broken into two gates. The first gate is where all the dogs go it’s wide and is about a football field long! Plenty of space to let olé rover move around. The second one is about same size and length and is separated by a gate down the middle and it’s never open! Never. I have no idea why they don’t just take the gate out in the middle and make it one large area.
They have trash cans and little stations where u can get poo bags so you can clean up and dispose of your dogs poo mess. That’s a huge plus over a lot of parks that have nothing. If you come also bring your own water. They have a small fountain right near the gate but the fountain has a lock on it so I have no idea why it’s there.
The park also provides a lot of grass areas and when ur pouch digs up a hole they are pretty good at filing it in. Except for the bottomless mud pit in the one corner that every dog loves to go to. If it has rained keep an eye on your dog cause when one dog goes in the mud hole they allllllllllll seem to follow. Then you have stagnant mud covered dog.
Last but not least. Some of the other dog owners that come in are over all pretty friendly and nice. And then you get the grumpy people that like to nit pick over every little thing. I have had no problem with my dog and other people. But sitting there you hear everything. «Who’s dog is jumping on mine stop him before I kick him». Ok first. They are dogs dogs are going to jump why argue about it. The man and the woman actually argued about this then the woman states «I have been coming here longer then You have newbee you leave». The only problem I have personally had with my dog and some other owner was some lady put down a water dish and filled it up for her old mange looking lab and my dog and another dog went up to it and started drinking out of it and she walked up and smacked both of them in the heads. As a side note I bring a separate portable water container that attaches to my hip. When he’s thirsty he comes over and I give him one. He’s a dog if he sees a water source and other dogs are drinking from it don’t touch people’s dogs. I will not described the encounter between myself and her but she was informed never to touch some else’s companion.
Last and finially lastly and I’m done, my tip at the beginning be observant when u first get there. Watch how the dogs are with each other. When a new dog comes in watch their demeanor. Some owners decide hey let’s bring spike the most unhappy pit freakin bull angry dog and see how many people we can clear out of the park. This guy walks in and all hell breaks loose his pitbull is chasing other dogs down right from the gate. Tackling the dog and has his mouth around their throats every time he tackled a dog. He was showing his teeth and growling like a mad man and when the dogs take off running he tackles them and jaws around the neck. Guys explanation «I trust him around my 2 month old». Right dude. I went and attempted to get my dog just how every other owner was also making a mass exodus but olé kujo locked eyes with my dog ran after him and tackled him to the ground with the jaws around his neck. When I heard him Unilocaling I ran over and the guys statement «they are only playing». My dog is a large breed pinned down to the ground with a pitbull locked around his neck and he’s Unilocaling. That’s not playing. Especially when my dog hardly ever makes a peep. He starts laughing «people need to calm down they just playing». And I agree. Dogs do play. But not when an aggressive dog is smearing the field with every ones dog. The idiot did manage to clear the whole field. My advise is if u don’t feel comfortable with a dog that’s there don’t argue just leave. If you have an aggressive dog don’t bring them to a park with dogs and kids.

This dog park has lots of potential. Unfortunately several of the people that frequent the dog park are unnecessarily rude to newcomers.
It appears as though a few regulars view this park as their back yard and treat others (and their dogs) meanly. I hope the township/​county doesn’t waste any money on park maintenance until the human users figure out how to treat others politely.

Pro: clean, spacious, plenty of dogs for our weimaraner to interact with
Con: Space could be bigger (there is another side that is always closed that would be nice if it was combined), no benches or seating for patrons, would be nice if there was a water fountain that was in the gated dog park itself as the dogs always get very thirsty and not all people bring water for their dogs (and always end up drinking ours)

Well grassed dog park with lots of bag bins available. Seems like everyone picks up after their animal.
Clientele (owners and dogs) could be better behaved compared to other parks I’ve been to. Owners let their dogs crowd the entrance gate, causing unnecessary anxiety trying to get in. There is a airlock type gate system for entrance.

As a new dog owner, I don’t have many dog parks to compare this to. However, this is the closest dog park to my house and my dog LOVES IT. There are two fenced in areas: one for dogs under 25 lbs and one for dog over 25 lbs. I think that’s great. My Boston Terrier is 18 lbs and he gets knocked over by large dogs. This park is also accessible by bike off the Perkiomen Trail.
Pug lovers– there is a pug meet up every second Saturday at 10:30. (My dog is not a pug but he loves to play with them.)
TIP: Bring bug spray– it’s always buggy!

This dog park is okay. We like the Horsham dog park better because it is more scenic and the people are very friendly. This one had two separate sections — one for large breeds and one for small breeds. Our biggest complaint was the amount of flies /​gnats around.

A sizable dog park with separate fenced-​in areas for small and large dogs.
