Temporary Dog Run Approved at Virginia Highlands Park

The Virginia Highlands Temporary Dog Run project has been given the green light!  After a review of the site location, sponsor group funding and community input among other requirements, the County has determined that the Virginia Highlands Temporary Dog Run proposal meets these standards. Last winter, Arlington County shared an overview of the proposal and collected feedback from 152 community members.

Overall, there was strong support for the proposal--highlighting it as an opportunity to activate this space and provide a resource for light exercise and relief. These were taken under consideration along with community concerns about having the right amount of space and recognizing desires for open space in the County.

The sponsor group, Pentagon City Dogs, has signed the Adopt-a-Dog Park agreement and secured funding for the project.  Construction will start this quarter and should be completed within 30 days, weather permitting

The temporary dog run will be in place until a Park Master Plan is developed for Virginia Highlands Park and funding is available to construct the plan. It will be reviewed annually to ensure it is safe and used appropriately.
