We have two small dogs and stayed in the small dog section. The humans were all very nice. Most of the dogs in the small section stayed with the owners and didn't play too much. We were also warned not to take them to the big dog area bc of a situation that happened to a puppy. He was side swiped from a pack of large dogs running, and this innocent accident broke the small pups neck, and he didn't survive. Just be safe and keep the small pups in the small dog area. Especially if they like to run with the big boys.
Also, it is not recommended to have on nice shoes because the ground up powder from the gravel gets all over the place and can create lots of dust.

We love taking our pups to the city dog park. I am happy to let them run around with the other dogs for a bit, but they can become overstimulated when we stay more than 5 minutes. So we walk them around the beautiful neighborhood. It's always a fun time. All the dogs are all well-behaved.

A friend recommended this location and I love it even more than Old Town Alexandria. So much to do and a fun vibe.
