About Us

 Prince William County (PWC) Dogs is a nonprofit, citizen led, volunteer group working with Prince William County Parks & Recreation to develop/maintain off-leash dog parks in the county, and educate on responsible play.

PWC Dogs was founded in 2011 as part of an effort to bring public off-leash playgrounds for dogs to Prince William County. Dog owners seeking opportunities to exercise their dogs could not find them locally, and so a group of citizens came together to work with the Prince William County Park Authority (now PWC Parks & Recreation) to integrate dog parks into our county park system. In April 2013, the K-9 Gunner Memorial Park was built at 13000 Minnieville Road with the support of community donations and efforts on behalf of PWC Dogs, PWC Parks & Rec, Lake Ridge Parks & Rec Association, Supervisor Mike May and the PWC Board of Supervisors, and the Prince William Trails & Streams Coalition. 

To support the ability of PWC Dogs to sustain our legacy of serving dogs and their humans in Prince William County, please make a tax deductible donation to PWC Dogs. Your donation will support continued dog park upkeep and maintenance, as well as expanding our ability do more for the dogs and people who love them in our community.
