Monticello Dog Park 5315 Guinea Road, Fairfax, VA 22032

"Park is fine if you have a big dog. My little dog was attacked by a pack of large dogs today, so I had to pull a few dogs off her. No other dog owner did anything because people don’t help anymore with anything. (There were small dogs, but nobody would put the small dogs in the pup pen.) I’ll only take her to the small pen as this park has bully dogs. Owners of small dogs use this park at your own risk."

"It's good in the sense that there's separate areas for big and small dogs, but there is no shade at all and the dark gravel grounds get really hot under the sun. After less than ten minutes my poor dogs were ready to leave."

"Embarrassing attempt at a dog park. This is nothing more than a fenced in lot of gravel. It reminds me of a litter box. There’s no biodiversity, shade, native plants and grasses, etc. There’s one sad PVC agility device but it’s broken. “Parks” like this are the cause of dog borne illnesses and due to the lacking park features, are also the cause of increased dog aggression. My suggestion, scrap this attempt, fence off a wooded area, build a walking trail, and leave the native plants."

"Park is very clean and they have a puppy side and a big dog side. It also has a non-potable water pump so you don’t have to cart water there until the winter time when it is turned off."

"Basic gravel pit park for pups. Holds 32 dogs, but also has a separate pen for smaller dogs in case you're not into big/small socialization. Water is turned off until spring, so bring your own h20. No interior features like south run park, no shade in summer, benches to sit on perimeter. Lots of parking and kiddie park right next to it."
