History

Glencarlyn Park Dog Park in Arlington, Virginia, offers a unique space for dog owners.

Located within the Glencarlyn Park courtyard, the dog park's history is interwoven with Arlington’s past.

The land once included the area that would become Arlington National Cemetery, acquired through eminent domain from Queen City.

During World War II, the Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway was constructed as part of the Pentagon’s traffic plan.

Interestingly, the location held a Cold War-era legend surrounding a purported secret bunker entrance.

This adds a fascinating, albeit somewhat surprising, layer to the dog park’s story.
