The small dog area is much smaller than the big dog area. Also, the water fountain was not working. I'm sure it's a fun place for bigger dogs, but we'll keep looking

This dog park has section off areas for size of dog and is a very busy dog park as most dog parks are not accessible after hurricane Helene. There are balls for water bring your friend for a play date.

Very limited shaded/covered areas, but decent sized open area for dogs 30+ lbs and a separate fenced area for dogs under 30 lbs. There was a working water station but it was rusty and appeared a little unclean in my opinion. It's a decent, free park, go in with average expectations and you'll be fine.

There’s not many dog parks left in Asheville after the hurricane. This one’s pretty good although there’s so much clay dirt that the dogs get filthy every time they play Maybe if they added mulch or grass I don’t know

As far as I know, this is the last dog park in town after the storm. And it’s usually pretty good, though nothing spectacular. But we showed up on a beautiful Sunday morning with our puppy, only to find the dog park padlocked shut. If there was a reason to close the dog park today, I wish they would have left a sign or something. We’re driving to Mills River now for their very nice (and reliable) dog park.
