Vienna Dog Park

Located off Nutley Street at Courthouse Road and Moorefield Road, SW, the Vienna Dog Park provides a fenced, off-leash space for dogs and their handlers to enjoy outdoor recreation.

The park features a five-foot fence, double-gated entry and exit areas, benches, and a stone dust surface. Water is available onsite. Nearby walking trails connect to Fairfax County's Nottoway Park and provide additional opportunities for outdoor recreation.

All dogs must be at least four months old, vaccinated in accordance with Virginia law, and wear a visible dog license.
