Reedy Creek Park Dog Park
A wooded acre for big dogs plus a smaller pen for the under-20 crowd
About this park
Reedy Creek Park Dog Park is a fenced, divided off-leash run inside the larger Reedy Creek grounds, with a generous shaded run for dogs over 20 pounds and a smaller pen for little dogs. The big-dog side wraps into wooded ground with open field and a maintained path, while the small-dog side is a more modest square with benches. Weekday afternoons stay quiet; weekends bring the regulars.
Amenities
Reedy Creek Park Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers consistently point to the size, mature trees, and shaded woods on the big-dog side as the standout features. Early weekend mornings before 11am get the best reviews for a calm, uncrowded run.
A relaxed regulars' crowd turns out at Reedy Creek on weekends; weekday afternoons are nearly empty. Small-dog owners note the little-dog side can feel sparse, so it fills best when two or three families coordinate a visit.

Before you go
Bring your own poop bags: the on-site dispenser is often empty and the trash is outside the enclosure, which means re-leashing to dispose. The only restroom is a porta potty outside the fence.
Frequently asked
- Is this the same as Reedy Creek Nature Preserve?
- No. Reedy Creek Park Dog Park is the fenced off-leash run split by dog size. The leashed woodland trails on the same grounds are Reedy Creek Nature Preserve.
- How is the small-dog side?
- Cramped. Reviewers describe the under-20-pound pen as a small square with a couple of benches, no shade, and nothing to hold a dog's interest, in sharp contrast to the big side.
- Are poop bags provided?
- Not reliably. The dispenser sits outside the fence and is often empty, and the trash cans are outside too, which means re-leashing to throw anything away.
- Are there restrooms?
- A porta potty outside the enclosure is the only option.
- When is it quietest?
- Weekday afternoons run close to empty. Weekend mornings before 11am draw the best reviews: enough dogs for company, quiet enough to hear birds.
