👍👍 Large clean park and It doesn’t seem to get so busy either. It’s our favorite dog park that we’ve been to so far in the Raleigh area. Our dogs love it!

😐 We visited this park to walk the nature trails. The trails are called Hillard Creek Trails. If you want to walk in the middle of the woods this is a good trail. The downside is that trail blazes are missing so you can easily get lost. The trail is pretty much single file. Based on appearance I...

👍👍 Love the dog park and field, always clean and multiple areas for different sizes of dogs. The field is great for throwing the ball and letting them run. The hammocks in the woods are also a great place to rest and collect your thoughts. Plenty of parking.

👍👍 This is our favorite dog park! An acre + of land and completely fenced in! It's the perfect place to let your dog roam, be free, and play with other dogs (and humans). There’s fresh cold water available during the warm months and friendly faces each time we come. Not only that, there's plenty of ben...

👍👍 Large, beautiful, clean dog park. Two sections (large and small dogs), both with plenty of space for chuck-it fetch. There is a pet water fountain just outside the gate. Poo bags and trash cans on both ends. Healthy grass and huge pine trees. This gem was a great place to take a break while travelin...

😠 UPDATE: 8/19/23: I can no longer recommend this dog park. In the year that I've been going there (maybe 2 times a week) my dog has been attacked 3 times by aggressive dogs. Today was the last straw. If you have an aggressive dog DO NOT BRING HIM TO A DOG PARK! You as an owner have a responsibility t...

Large off-leash dog park with lots of shade & grass, benches & water & sanitary stations.

👍👍 Great little dog park, very well kept. Not as large as some of the other dog parks in Wake county, but still really nice!

😐 I brought my foster dog here to run. Nice big area for large dogs. It was very dusty and the water was shut off. Someone brought bottled water for the dogs which was nice. Area was clean and partially shady. Some people had brought toys in that is not allowed. Overall an ok dog park. More benches,...

👍👍 i have a 6 month old energetic bernedoodle! we love this dog park so much. i wish more smaller pups would come out so he could have some friends. if you see us please say hello! Eleven is super friendly and is excited to meet new friends :)

👍 Okay dog park, but can be muddy when it’s been raining. Very quiet at 8 am on a Saturday. Only 1 other dog around but my guys had fun running around with him.

😐 It's an OK dog park. Not the best in town, but meets expectations. The turn off their water in the winter (probably to avoid freezing pipes" be sure to bring a jug of water to share, the pups will thank you. The park gets muddy as it doesn't use wood chips, or they have all wore out. I no...

😠 As we were traveling through the area, we stumbled upon this dog park and thought it would be great. We did not realize there was a membership until we were already at the gate. No alternatives were nearby, and it ruined the whole experience of the area. No option for a day pass, or even a spot to l...

😠 Decent park, but the people here sucks. Lacks diversity and it is very unwelcoming towards it. Me and my friend was given hateful looks upon entering, and also I was flat out ignored by some guy with two black labordoodles or poodles (whatever they may have been), when I attempted to apologize for m...
