Dog Park Opens In Abingdon

ABINGDON, MD - Harford County has opened a new park, and it has its own space for dogs.

Abingdon Road Park features a paved trail, pavilion, benches and a dog park, located near the Abingdon Water Treatment Plant.

The canine portion of Abingdon Road Park has two fenced-in areas. One is for small dogs, and the other is for large dogs.

Dogs can go off-leash and mingle with other pooches, while their people supervise. The only requirement is that the dog be licensed. (Those who do not have a dog license can call Harford County's licensing unit at 410-638-3305.)

The park is located on 4 acres near the Abingdon Water Treatment Plant, and county officials say it's easy to find: "Look for the Abingdon Water Treatment Plant and 'follow the paws' to the park."

A 1-mile paved trail around the site leads to the dog park.

Abingdon Road Park opened Aug. 4, and Harford County plans to hold a dedication ceremony on Sept. 30. It is at 3330 Abingdon Road in Abingdon.
