Wiggly Field

Very disappointed with this dog park. Poorly maintained since no one apparently bothers to pick up after their dogs (inside the park and outside leading up to it). There is dog poop everywhere. I guess that makes up for it usually being a mud pit.
Furthermore since there is no supervision morons are able to bring their dogs. Some irresponsible idiot’s pitbull mix bit our golden today. While they did nothing I proceeded to have to hit their dog off of ours to save her. She is sweet and was just standing there when the attack happened.
Dog parks are not safe when idiots are allowed to roam free with breeds they are not responsible enough to train or control. We will not be back and I will ensure others know of the danger just like all our breeder friends will continue to do.

Took our pooch here for the first time the other day, and she had a blast! This is only the second dog park we’ve been to, but I like it a lot. Here are some thoughts (in no particular order):
— Less square footage than Simmonds Family Dog Park at Miami Whitewater. This is actually a pro for me, because we’re working on socializing our pup so the smaller pen means she’s more likely to play with other dogs.
— I assume that’s a water feature that runs through the pen, under the bridge. It was solid ice when we went, but I can imagine it trickling in the summer! I bet it looks really nice, but could be a con if your pup is clumsy, or if you’re trying to chase her around.
— The parking lot is gravel. I can see why that would be beneficial in the summer, to protect sensitive paws from scorching asphalt, but my dog tracked dust all over the car, which was definitely a con.
Overall, I definitely like this place. We didn’t get to stay very long last time because it was so cold out, but we’ll definitely be back soon!

Great park. Didn’t see any mud that prior reviewers mentioned. The enclosures were grassy and the pups and owners were very nice. I’d definitely go back — my pup had a great time. One con was the lack of signage to get to the park and the dusty/​gravel road.

I love the name of this dog park! Been meeting a friend and her dog there in the mornings this week and it sounds like a wonderful idea. However, it is extremely muddy there! It’s so bad that my yellow lab ends up looking like a chocolate lab by the time we leave. I was told that there are two fenced in areas for the larger dogs so that one area can recover at a time, yet it seems the only area that looks acceptable is the one for small dogs! My dog would probably give it 4 or 5 stars because she loves playing with other dogs, but I am the one who has to clean both her and the car out afterwards. Can you pass me another wet wipe?!

Please check the address before you come, as the address listed on Unilocal brings you to the Voice Of America Museum, and you have to drive through a power plant and dirt roads to get to the dog park. When you get to the dog park, there is nothing here. The part for large dogs (with the bridge, big rocks, etc) seems to be permanently closed, and the small dog area is just a field.

Wiggly Field is a great dog run — there’s a large area for dogs of all sizes as well as one just for smaller dogs, it’s always really well kept and there’s several things in the field itself to keep the dog’s busy (other than dogs, I mean.)
There have been a few times when my dog has been attacked by other dogs here, but normally most people who come here have sociable dogs/​trained dogs.
My only complaint is that it really does get ridiculously muddy as others have noted.
FWIW I saw someone else said they paid to let their dogs in — the only fee is to get into the VOA park itself. A yearly pass is $ 10, otherwise it’s $ 5 per visit.

We came here when it was pretty muddy, but still fun! One field has a bridge over a creek full of rocks. Our dog loved trying to clear the creek and our kids enjoyed it as well!

I take my two 6-​mo puppies to Wiggly Field pretty regularly. It’s the closet dog park to my house in West Chester and for that fact alone it gets a few stars. It’s pretty spacious and has a ton of room for dogs to run around. The park offers poop bags for those owners who forget them once in a while, and there is a bin of fresh water, although it usually is empty. Apparently it’s $ 5 per dog to enter, but I’ve never paid nor have I seen any attendant at the park monitoring entrants. Now to the cons – it gets super muddy. I took my dogs there two days after we got a really good rain, and the park was still literally covered in mud. I had to bathe my dogs as soon as I got home – I was shocked by the amount of mud the park had. There is also a big water put in the back end of the big-​dog area that is always wet and muddy. Lastly, the road to get to the park is terrible. Not paved, all gravel and very dirty. Definitely not a good drive when you’re worried about getting your car dirty or nicked with pebbles. Like I said, it’s the only dog park close to me in WC, so while not ideal, I still frequent Wiggly.

I used to take my golden retriever, Abbey, to Wiggly Field. She was a very friendly and outgoing dog (a necessary canine characteristic for a dog park) and loved playing with the other dogs and puppies.
I was able to take my new puppy, four pound Izzie, to Wiggly Field just yesterday. The rules at Wiggly are that dogs have to be at least 4 months old and Izzie just turned 5 months so it was time. She was a little shy at first and cowered by me but quickly adjusted to the other dogs and began to play… there is a separate fenced area for small dogs so I wasn’t worried about her getting crushed by any Great Danes or Retrievers!
Wiggly Field is open from 8am-​dusk daily and is very popular on the weekends, though during the week the park isn’t particularly crowded.
Besides the 4 month rule, owners are only allowed to bring two dogs (max) and have to be at least 16 years old.
