Gateway Park Interim Dog Park

dog's dating park,excellent to entertain the dogs,owners shud be watching their pets closely

Love going to this dog park it has both a large and small dog park! Walkable from most apartments in Rosslyn. Small amounts of shade but it has a water fountain on the big dog park side!

Great, quaint dog park. The best time to go is around 6pm, it’s the doggy happy hour! During the summer, it’s fun to have a drink while waiting for your dogs to finish socializing

What a great place for a dog park!! Well maintained and easy to access. My nephew dog loves it!!

This is my home away from home for my boys Louie and Franklin. The community wouldn't be the same without this dog park 🩵 …

Nice place to play with dog. They have both a large dog and a 25 pound and under dog park situated next to each other and replace its it

A great size for the area and fantastic to have dog park nearby! The space is fairly well kept with good fencing and gates. Free waste bags are available all over the park and plenty of seating spaced nicely out. Two sides are available, the larger side for large dogs and a smaller side for small dogs. For those driving to this location, there isn't much parking locally, but otherwise it's in a nice spot within Gateway Park. For now it seems like the water fountain is not working - hopefully will be fixed soon.

Perfect small and big door park near the metro of rosslyn. Restrooms No Dog-friendliness Yes

After > 1 year, it's fair to say this is not "interim" anymore. There was once fresh grass, now its pebbles (like a litter box) and mud. Be prepared for your dog to get a parasite here. Also mushrooms grow here and dogs dig them up and eat them and make them sick. Tip for the local Rosslyn office - once per year, go to Home Depot and get a couple rolls of grass. It's not that pricey.

Great dog park with sides for big and small dogs! I absolutely LOVE that it has lighting for when it gets dark early!

This is great facility and only exists because of the hard work and generosity of local dog lovers who recognized the great need for such a park in its increasingly densely populated neighborhood. The park has its own local sponsorship organization which raises money to help maintain the park as well as put on neighborhood events such as a dog Halloween party. The folks that regularly use the park are very friendly and it's a great place to meet people who live in the neighborhood. No doubt it is truly a great neighborhood asset that I hope the County will remove its "interim" designation and make the facility a permanent fixture for the community.

A nice little dog park that doesn't get all icky in the wet. A fun set of dogs and people.

A well designed and much needed addition to the neighborhood; it's especially nice that the main area has almost full gravel coverage so it's not muddy, even when wet! ETA: Plastic play structures were added in 2025.

Small dog section has nice grass. Dogs here are nice. My puppy had a great time! Parking is limited. Take water for your pup.

I came to this park as the finish to a geocache. Seemed like a nice place there were people with their dogs there and in warmer weather it would be a nice walk

Best small dog park ever-- we take our puppy here every day. Great spacious and safe area for our small dog to run, play, and relax. Most owners are friendly and responsible. Highly recommend bringing your dog here!

We visited this park for Arlington's Inaugural Pride Celebration Day 2022. The event was family-friendly and everyone was nice even to us out of town guests.

I am so grateful for this dog park and how engaged the community is in its upkeep. They host fun events for the dogs throughout the year, making finding community in the neighborhood so much easier. The park has running water and a small dog side. The big dog area is large enough for my doberman to get his energy out daily.

Great little spot in the middle of Rosslyn. Walk your dogs or just enjoy the park while surrounded by the bustle of the city around you. Sometimes events are held here too.

Glad to see a dog park in the neighborhood. While this one doesn't have every possible amenity it has all the important bits, such as a water station and waste disposal. One thing to keep in mind is there are several highrises under construction nearby, so noise can be a bit much depending on what time you go.
