Mary Warner Mack Dog Park (private)
Members-only greenway with off-leash hiking and a tested swim pond
About this park
A membership-based dog park at the Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill offering off-leash hiking trails, a fenced play area with a small-dog section (under 30 lbs), and a pond the park tests regularly for algae safety. Members pay around $25/month and gain access to the full greenway, including trails that can get genuinely muddy after rain. The trails and pond draw early-morning regulars looking for a quieter, nature-forward experience rather than a traditional dog park.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 119 Google reviewsMembers rave about the pond (tested regularly for algae) and the off-leash hiking trails that are physically separated from the swim area so dogs can't wander into the water unsupervised. The greenway membership is repeatedly called worth the price for the trail access alone.
Early mornings around 6:45–7am draw a small crew of commuters tiring out their dogs before work. Members describe a tight, friendly group who know each other's dogs by name, with more social mixing later in the day.
Best for
Before you go
Check the greenway website before heading out, as trails close after rain and the online status isn't always accurate. Bring a towel and plan to use the hose at the park exit to rinse your dog after hiking the trails. Early mornings (before 7am) are quiet; go later in the day if socialization is the goal.
