Why the location changed
A 2017 report documented PennDOT’s confirmation that the Aramingo Avenue property would be repurposed to widen an I-95 ramp. PennDOT offered two possible replacement properties, but the neighborhood group would have needed to fund construction and enter a maintenance agreement. A reliable source showing that either proposal became a new Triangle Dog Park was not found.

What former park visitors said
Historical accounts described a long, narrow neighborhood run with room for dogs to chase and socialize. Visitors appreciated the trees, benches, picnic tables and friendly Fishtown community around the park.
Past visitors also warned that the dirt surface became muddy after rain and that drinking water was not dependable. Those descriptions refer to the former park and should not be treated as current conditions.
