Gaithersburg Dog Park (5)
About the Park
Gaithersburg Dog Park is a large off-leash facility with two sections: a year-round gravel area and a seasonal grass area (closed November-April). The park is well-maintained with water fountains, benches, and parking. While most visitors report friendly dogs and owners, several comments note incidents with aggressive dogs requiring intervention. The gravel surface and occasional flooding in heavy rain are practical considerations.
