Pop's Playground

Pop's Dogs is a members-only dog space located at the western end of Pop's Park.  This unused portion of Pop's is a grassy open space under a tree that used to be badly in need of care.  Not anymore!  Based on a suggestion from Susan Slawson, Commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Recreation, this space is now a safe place for local dogs and their owners to exercise and play, while organizing upkeep, beautification and cleaning.

Pop's Dogs is not the usual dog "park", being a private members only space instead of public.    The area is secure and controlled with the addition of new fencing and gates with locks.  After completion of an application for membership and an annual $20 donation to the Friends of Pop's, new members will receive keys to the locked entrance gate.  Members need to have current rabies certification and agree to all the rules of Pop's Dogs. 

Security is important at Pop's Dogs.  Children are #1!  By securing the dog space, no undue interactions should occur.  The kids have a fascinating new neighbor in the park, and the dogs can run and frolic without worry to owners and parents.

Some things to look forward to in the future Pop's dogs space:

-more landscaping and beautification projects

-double entrance gate for security and peace of mind

-benches and small tables
