The DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Upshur Park dog park project, located at 4300 Arkansas Avenue, NW (Square 2818, Lot 0800 and Square 2820, Lot 801), is a partnership between DPR and Friends of 16th Street Heights Parks. The site of the dog park is at the corner of Arkansas and Allison Streets, NW.

The Upshur Park Dog Park Application was approved by DPR in February 2009 after receiving the formal recommendation of the Dog Park Application Review Committee (DPARC).

This future 10,000 square-foot off-leash dog park will be part of the Hamilton and Upshur - Joint Master Plan.
