Core Creek Park
Bucks County's 1,200-acre park about a ten-minute drive south of town, open dawn to dusk. Rowboats, kayaks, and pedalboats rent on the water, and there's an off-leash dog park plus 11 rentable pavilions.
Dog park in the burbs
Every dog park spot we vouch for, across every town we cover. Cross a town line for the good ones. That's the whole point.
The picks
Curtis Arboretum
Cheltenham Township's 45-acre arboretum on grounds landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted: hills, two ponds, and more than 50 kinds of trees. The lower level holds a fenced dog park with over an acre of off-leash run and a separate enclosure for small breeds.
Fonthill Park
The wooded park wrapped around Henry Mercer's concrete castle: trails, old trees, and a dog run. The castle charges admission; the woods never do.
James Memorial Park
West Rockhill Township's park on the old James farmstead, dedicated in 1975, with a half-mile walking path, a pond, basketball and sand volleyball courts, a tot lot, two pavilions, and a dog park. Heritage House, the restored farmhouse at its center, became home to the West Rockhill Historical Society after 2011.
Kohler Park
71 acres off Horsham Road with a fishing pond, a dog park, two playground areas, and a lighted in-line street hockey court. There is even a chess table near the gazebo.
Perkasie Dog Park
An acre of fenced off-leash ground across from Perkasie Square, split into two runs so the under-35-pounders aren't dodging the big dogs. Free to use, with an agility A-frame and tunnels for the show-offs and shaded benches for you.
