Dog park at bottom of hill that is mainly dirt and rock. Picnic tables and shade pavilion in each section (small/large). Water spigot in each section; however, water is still cut off. No restroom on site. Good enough park if your pup needs to stretch their legs.

Best enclosed dog park for 'small' dogs in RVA—perfect for little yippers and sausage rolls. The humans are generally conscientious and welcoming; the pups are even better. One side shares a gated fence with the 'big' dog side so the little ones can safely interact with the larger dogs. My pom LOVES instigating back-and-forth chases through the fence. It's his jam. Keep an eye on the sky because you could spot one of the local bald eagles hunting near the river or transiting through its territory. As of 2024, these sightings are fairly common! You'll definitely see a hawk or two, which sometimes perch in the adjacent trees and occasionally horrify spectators by mercilessly plucking a squirrel off the ground. Nature, amiright? Other things to know: Depending on the time of year, there may not be running water available (the city turns it off during the winter to prevent the pipes from freezing.) The enclosure's surface is on a slight slope and is made up of a combination of grass and exposed dirt with rocks, old clay pipe shards, and the occasional broken glass (or even a stone arrowhead, if you're lucky.) So, wear close-toed shoes and not flip-flops or sandals. In the summer, you might have share the sun shelter with a few wasp nests, though I've never been stung.

Usually well maintained when it's not raining constantly every day. Water hoses and bowls available. People are generally respectful and responsible with their dogs. Small dog side has a little "pool". Great place to meet dogs and new friends.

It was my dog's first visit ever to a dog park and it was a great experience. Friendly people, awesome doggos. People paid attention to their dogs and their interactions. Fresh water from hoses, water bowls and even a puppy pool were clean-ish as you would expect. There are some off-leash dogs off in the near distance but they didn't interfere with leashed dogs. A good time was had by all.
