Timber Creek Park

We took our dogs here for the first time yesterday, and we couldnt be happier about taking the drive. The fenced in dog park was perfect, it even brought out the adventure in our dog that is skiddish. It was clean and all of the people and dogs we encountered were great. We continued our walk down to the lake and the dogs loved swimming in it, and everyone watched out for everyone’s dogs. It is worth the hour drive. I have never seen my pups so tired.
Within the fenced in dog park there is a path around the outside and through middle. The outside loop along the fence seems to be about a ½ mile walk. But I like to explore as much as my dogs do and there were some simple paths to walk through the woods. There were a couple of small bowls at the main entrance with bottles of water for the dogs to drink.
I will be going back with my pups again whenever we can swing it.

This was my first time here considering the fact that I drive past here daily on my way to work. This park is not bad to bring your dogs here. It’s good to bring your dogs here to run around and to bond with the other dogs.

Perfect place to stop on your way to/​from the outlets to do something different! Playground, dog park, paved track, and trails to wander. Only problem is it’s missing signage! Such an easy fix too.

I wish I had a better story to tell. The layout of the park is beautiful, water for the dogs and plenty of room. When walking in we overheard a man say his dog already bit a few people, there should have been some alarms that went off. We proceeded to walk around with our 6 month old puppy and he was hesitant smelling around and testing out the other dogs. After the second lap around he was more comfortable and started running with 2 other dogs. This is the bad part, a third dog came over and attacked him, gripping him by the neck. I ran over and had to yank the older dog off my pups throat while my pup screamed a scream I have never heard before. The owners were very apologetic and thank the LORD our dog was ok. Just know there are a ton of dogs there and you really don’t know the history of the other dogs or their owners. Some might say that dogs are animals and you can never tell but if you care about your animal, at minimum keep them close to you on the walk.

This is a wonderful park! It’s clean and safe for the dogs and humans. Everyone is friendly and very conscientious of every dog there. I have 2 pitbulls 9 and 10 yrs old and a 12 wk puppy that go there. No issues with other dogs or humans. I particularly like that there are NO CHILDREN. (Makes it very dangerous when children go to dog park))
The fenced in area is 9 acres or so, with 3 gates, in the woods. The trails are clean, most people clean up after their dogs and them selves. (No trash, cigarettes or poop)
There’s a dedicated group that bring in gallons of fresh water for the dogs and water bowls. Poop bags are provided.
I’ve hung my jacket and leashes on the fence for an hr or so, and never had my belongings stolen.
The terrain is a little hilly in some areas, a couple muddy areas (so look out if it rains)
There are 2 large ponds. 1 is very clear and clean. The other is murky tidal water, so make sure u get to the right swimming area.
Love this place. I go almost every day.

This is dog park paradise. My dog sometimes gets nervous around other dogs, especially little ones that get underfoot, and since he’s quite large (110 lb bloodhound), I get nervous and always keep him on leash. But he was very relaxed and happy here, and he had nine acres to sniff around and greet other dogs. This is a great place to socialize dogs, and everyone that I met was very responsible and pleasant. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

Big wooded fenced in park. Great for a nice walk with lots of smells for the pups. A lake is near if you pups like to swim (it is outside of the fenced area, so make sure they have good recall!)

this is by far our favorite dog park. My dogs and I can spend hours here in the summer. They love the freedom of being able to run around off leash and I love that they’re fenced in and I can always find them if I need them. We have never run into shady characters as one review said. Also this isn’t the park I bring them to throw balls any way. My 2 23 lbs terrier mixes love being able to roam free. I’ve met so many nice people and dogs here. I really can’t say enough nice things about this park. Yes not everyone cleans up after their dog but that doesn’t take away from the fact that this park is awesome. When we come home both of my dogs pass out which is the goal

This is the best dog park I’ve ever been to!!! I live in Center City Philly, but driving out there is completely worth it! My dog absolutely loves going here AND there is a lake for the dogs to swim in when it’s warmer outside! I haven’t run into any mean owners, or aggressive dogs. Every experience here has been amazing!

I ventured to this area from Cherry Hill due to reading the reviews. First, this area is full of seedy characters ranging from meth addicts walking down the streets to homeless hanging out at Dunkin’ Donuts. I don’t mean one random character, I mean speckled throughout the entire length of the business district. Next, it seems the dog park is a good hangout for some of them. I did not feel comfortable in the area nor did I feel good about the park. I could easily see aggressive dogs being a problem in this area. Despite the fact that the Cherry Hill Dog Park is small with only two areas for dogs, I would opt for that location. Other good options are Laurel Acres in Mount Laurel.

This park rules! My dog and I have a blast running the perimeter loop and cutting back and forth through the various trails in the enclosed dog area. Beware that some owners have terribly trained animals and may not even want their pet near others but besides some local bad pet owners, this place is exceptional.

This is the best dog park that I’ve ever been to. It’s very large and In the woods. It’s also fenced in, so even if your dog escapes your view you can have peace of mind. I’ve never run into
Any aggressive dogs here and my dog has always had a great time. There’s also
A
Nearby lake if your dog likes to go swimming during the warmer months. Highly recommended.

I love bringing my human here when he needs walkies. He gets to socialize while I get to smell unique butts and other aromas. When I’m in the mood I can jump in the creek and frolic. It is so much fun to be off the chainz in a large wooded area. I’m a medium guy so I can roam in either the big or small guy section, I prefer the small one since some oafs don’t know their own strength. I see some humans without furry friends walking, biking or jogging here too. I would up this review to 5 stars if only there were more squirrels.

It’s very important to note to little dog owners that there is NO LITTLE DOG AREA. None. Nada. Everyone is mixed in together. That’s fine since the space is quite large, huge even, & there are many trails for your dog to run around in but for little dogs, this is not a great place.
I do love all the shaded area but I wish owners would pick up after their dogs. I can’t tell you how many dog piles I saw all over & not even on the trails but on the way to the fenced in area.
So little dog owner go to Connolly Park. Much better park for our little ones.

This place is dog heaven! Lots of trails to run on and a small lake for swimming. It’s fully fenced, but someone with a small beagle said they’d had an escape attempt, so I’d watch your little dogs. And make sure your dogs are current with their flea and tick remedies! My dog loves to run through underbrush.
The only really bad thing I noticed at this park was a few large shards of broken glass, and cigarette butts. Ugh. This is so rude. You have this gorgeous free park and what do you do with it but crap it up?

Sunday afternoon my boyfriend and I decided to take my dog, Ruby, to a dog park. Originally we were going to go to the park in Washington Township, but we didn’t realize that a permit must be purchased ahead of time for entry. Since we really wanted to get outside right away, we decided to check out Timber Creek Park, which does not require a permit.
We ended up walking around the ½ mile loop first. It was a nice walk and there were dogs in the open grass area playing with owners and each other. We eventually made our way to the dog park, which was on the opposite side of the parking lot. The dog park was a nice wooded area; it was fenced in and perfect for walking with your dog instead of just sitting on a bench while they play. Ruby is a tiny schnoodle, so she was a bit intimidated by the other, bigger dogs at first but once she felt confident enough that they weren’t going to eat her, she had fun prancing around and exploring the woods.
I definitely recommend bringing at least one towel when you bring your dog here. It was a little muddy at the park due to the previous night’s rain, so I’m glad we brought something to wipe Ruby’s paws off with before getting in the car to go home.

I’ve been to a number of dog parks, and this one is my favorite to take my dog to. The fenced in area is pretty large, and the parking lot has a decent number of parking spots. My dog runs free but not too far away from us, and he gets to socialize with great dogs and great owners. I’ve been here about a dozen times at this point, and only have met 1 – 2 aggressive dogs with jerkwad owners. Easy enough to leash him and go in the other direction.
My only complaints is that some people don’t pick up after their dogs outside of the fenced in area, and that poison ivy is sometimes spotted inside and outside the park. I simply tell my dog to avoid that area and he listens, because I’ve gotten some nasty rashes before petting him after he’s been through some brush. I haven’t had any problems recently though with the ivy. Seriously, any responsible dog owner should check this place out!

TCP is one of my most favorite dog parks to date. The geography of the park is great; some sunny areas, plenty of thick underbrush, several inclines, and well-​maintained paths. Most of the dogs are well behaved, although I haven’t been there enough to discover any dogs like the negative reviews suggest, but I’m sure there are some unfortunate dogs and dog owners that don’t belong.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, some people occasionally bring very young (and poorly-​trained, I might add) dogs to the park and get almost offended when the bigger dogs try to play with them. I believe the park is suitable for 2 reasons: to let your dog run free and to let your dog play with others. Keep it in the backyard if they can’t handle it.
I have also noticed that sometimes it gets very cliquey. It’s almost as if some people are breedist (a word?) and look down upon you and your dog. You’re not a lab, you can’t hang with us other labs.
Mind you, these were only a few instances that I’d noticed in the past. They personally haven’t affected us or our dog; we have the time of our lives every time we go. I can see us coming here regularly for the next couple of (dog) years.

I absolutely love this park.
I used to take my dog to the Runnemede Dog park which was nice but quite small and there was NEVER any other dog there when we went. I’ve been to Timber Creek Dog park a few times now and each time there was at least 4 – 5 other dogs.
I wasn’t sure how my dog would be around so many other dogs AND off of a leash but she has a blast. It’s large enough that she has tons of freedom, but when I call she can still hear me and find me.
Of course there is occasionally a dog that is a little aggressive but the other nice thing is that there are a few exits all around. So if your dog needs a «timeout» or just isn’t into playing with the other dogs, you can easily leave and continue to walk on the surrounding trails.

I recently brought my dog here for an event with the AWA, Bark in The Park. After my dog was finished with her Yap-​atizers and Bark-​tinis at the entrance of the park we headed in.
We followed a trail which lead us to the gated area of the park where dogs can explore leash free. The gated area is huge and offers a few different trails. I was a bit nervous to let my dog off the leash because the gated area has a few bushy. But the gated area is small enough that your dog would be able to hear you call.
All the people and dogs I ran into were very nice. There is ever a dog water fountain located right outside the one gated entrance– pretty cool.
Timber Creek Park was a great place to take my dog, but I prefer Freedom Park. Timber Creek Park offers a safe place to start training your dog with off-​leash walking, but Freedom Park offers a much more social atmosphere for dogs.
