Towers Park — Attraction in Virginia

This is a review for the dog park only.

I've been taking my 6.5 month puppy here for the past 2 months without much issues. I've seen a few fights break out but they never escalated too much, owners are quick to intervene. My puppy has gotten herself into a few fights (some dogs don't like her) but again, owners are quick to intervene and most of the dogs here are very well-behaved. There is always a dog or two that resource guards, which I don't understand (why bring your dog here if they clearly have RG issues? Unsafe! This dog park is littered with tennis balls and some people bring and leave toys here) My puppy loves this park despite a few scary experiences. I'll continue to watch her like a hawk in the park until I know she can handle herself better and doesn't become an easy target due to her age and size, but despite the faults that come with all dog parks I like this place the best.

I've seen one owner purposely ignore their own dog's poop (they clearly saw it happen, I was watching) and just leash him up and leave after before, so it happens. I've tried out many dog parks in the area and this one is the one I always come back to, and the one my puppy feels at most ease with. Just be aware of what's good and bad. Always a fun day when she goes...

Very clean, has evening lighting, several park benches and tables, secure in and out access for your dog, people are friendly here. Enough room for you pup to get a good run and go, ground cover is sand, grass. The fence line is secure also, there are no gaps for your dog to...

The dog park is one of the finest in Arlington. Shade, water, tennis balls galore, and two actual parks (one for smaller or aggressive dogs). I have been coming here for years and will say that the many guests that I’ve seen are very diligent about caring for their dogs both from when they are playing and picking up after. This park is also lighted and the only thing that could be added is a few more lights in...
