Rolling Hill Park is a beautiful and heavily wooded nature park, ideal for a walk with a dog or a friend. It features many nice trails across rolling hills, though some paths can be a little confusing to follow. The hike down to Mill Creek involves some steep hills, but the clear and clean river below is a lovely playground for wading or where dogs love to swim. The park also contains cool old abandoned structures and ruins that are absolutely gorgeous.
It is a very dog-friendly place with a very big fenced area for dogs. Beyond the meadow, off-leash dogs are the norm on the trails, especially by the water, though an off-leash permit is required. Visitors are reminded to pick up after their dog and take their trash with them to help take good care of this amazing park. There is no traditional playground, and bringing your own water is suggested.
Great park for taking your dog for a walk! If you're dog has good recall, then walking in the woods off leash is allowed at certain times. Additional for those whose recall isn't the best there is a nice fenced in dog park with room for your pup to run and play!

The park was so nice and quiet. Really enjoyed walking through the park trails towards the Mill ruins. The parking lot was big and long.

Best Dog Park in Lower Merion! Dogs are off leash all the time, and it is wonderful. There is no better place for a real hike with your pup: many trails with options to climb and descend several times without backtracking.
In memory of Cody who got me out hiking every week from 2016 to 2025. Miss you so much...
