Jun 22, 2017

We all love our four-legged friends, sometimes more than our two-legged ones! It’s hard to leave them home while we go about our day. Just thinking of those sad puppy eyes breaks our heart! Luckily, Baltimore is a dog-friendly city. Read on for some fun South Baltimore activities that you and your furry companion can do together.

Parks and Walks

Latrobe Park

Located at: 1627 E Fort Ave, Baltimore, MD 21230

Right around the corner from Anthem House, Latrobe Park is a great place to spend a summer day. Its off-leash dog park is the perfect place for you and your pet to make new neighborhood friends. The Astroturf area is fully fenced in and even has a waterslide for more adventurous pups. Convenient walking distance from almost anywhere in Locust Point makes Latrobe Park a pet-owner's favorite spot.

Jones Falls Trails

Trailheads: Inner Harbor/Visitors Center; Penn Station; Stieff Silver; Druid Hill Park

If you’re looking for an active day consider the Jones Falls Trail. Running all the way from the Inner Harbor to the Clyburn Arboretum, the trail offers an urban start, moves through the historic Druid Hill Park, and finally finishes with a nature walk. Hop on the trail at any part and follow the markings on the sidewalk and signs. Leashed dogs are welcome on the trail and in the Cylburn Arboretum.

BARCS Website

The Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, Inc. operates Maryland’s largest open-admission animal shelter. Their website is jam-packed with information for Baltimore dog owners, and they’re a great Baltimore organization to volunteer at or donate to. Furthermore, they’re beneficiaries of a lot of dog-friendly events for you and your pup, like Yappier Hours at Gunther & Co on the second Tuesday of each month. Their website also has a trail, park and beach finder, so if you need more outdoor options be sure to check it out.
