55Fantastic yard with very secure fencing! I was looking for a place for my very active dog to run sand play freely while out of town for a dog sports competition, and this was just perfect. There was also a big clean bowl of water and chairs to sit in. Quiet neighborhood. I will be back for sure! Madelaine M.

55Great spot for a quick dog romp! The view is tremendous - we saw plenty of birds flying through the trees and over the hillside below us. We appreciated the fresh water that Rachel left out for us and the dogs. It was nice to have both sunny and shady areas for the dogs to rest. Watch for early spring growth of poison ivy near the edges of the fence. Thanks! We'll be back next time we're in the area.Marla F.

55Not a sound or sight anywhere! Clean, secure yard. Small gaps under fence were secured unless you have a 5# chihuahua. I didn't see a place to refill water for my dog but a bowl was provided with a little water in it. He didn't drink anyway so it was fine. I will like to visit again. Kim Y.

FAQ About New Kensington Dog Parks
