Welcome to the Dog Park!

As many of you already know, the Greenbelt Dog Park is the first facility of its kind in Maryland. It is a city-owned and city-maintained facility. The Greenbelt Dog Park Association (GDPA), a recognized city contribution group, consists of local residents who lobbied to establish the Dog Park, are willing to assist the city in maintaining and improving the Dog Park, and who believe strongly in the importance of responsible pet ownership within our community.

Although first in the state, the Greenbelt Dog Park is not the first one in the country. The first official dog park, the Ohlone Dog Park in Berkeley, California, was established in 1979. Since then dog parks have appeared all over the country and throughout Europe.
