Seven city-listed spots for off-leash play.

Officially designated exercise areas—not unrestricted off-leash access across an entire park.

Pittsburgh's listed year-round OLEAs

CitiParks' dedicated dog-park rules page, updated October 15, 2025, names these seven sites:

DOWNTOWN

Downtown OLEA

City-listed dog area at the downtown Allegheny riverfront; the park directory references the 9th Street Bridge.

SQUIRREL HILL

Frick Park

Off-leash exercise zone amid wooded trails that require leashes.

EAST END

Highland Park

Designated OLEA in a major Pittsburgh regional park.

MOUNT WASHINGTON

Olympia Park

A posted off-leash site in the Mount Washington / Emerald View Park setting.

SOUTH SIDE

Riverfront Park

Dog exercise area by the waterfront. Nearby shared-use paths are leashed.

PERRY NORTH

Riverview Park

Designated dog area surrounded by leash-required park paths.

Walk after the run

Leash up before leaving the dog exercise area, then find a Pittsburgh riverfront or park walk.

PAWSTREAK

Pick a Pittsburgh place and plan a new outing.
