Off Leash Dog Park
Gates 11, 12 and 13 are designated as entrances to the Off Leash Dog Park. This is a multi-use area where dogs may be off leash but are likely to interact with hikers, cyclists, horses and runners. The gates are located on Trinity Road and Raleigh-LaGrange Road on the northeast side of the park. Dogs are allowed off leash during park hours (dawn to dusk), but dogs must be under voice command, under control and may not disturb or interfere with other park users or wildlife.
The Off Leash Dog Park includes six lakes, rolling hills and beautiful terrain for you and your pets to enjoy. You may only have one dog per person. Call (901) 767-PARK for more information.
