William R. Davie Park
A gigantic fenced dog park set deep in the back woods
About this park
A sprawling south Charlotte park built around huge fields, a gated playground, and a gigantic fenced dog park set deep in the wooded back of the property. Reviewers call the dog park a hidden gem, large enough that your dog can slip out of sight and quiet enough that weekday visits often feel private. Turf and grass soccer fields, clean restrooms, and on-site water round out the facilities.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 844 Google reviewsThe sheer size of the fenced dog park is the standout: reviewers consistently describe it as "gigantic" and a "hidden gem" that rarely gets crowded. The gated playground, well-kept turf field, and working restrooms and water fountains get specific praise too.
A neighborhood park that doubles as a youth-sports hub on weekends, while the wooded dog park in back draws a separate, quieter crowd of regulars who come for the space more than the social scene.
Best for
Before you go
The dog park is big enough that your dog can lose sight of you in the back corners, so stay engaged rather than on your phone. Parking fills up fast on youth-sports game days, so arrive early if the fields are booked.
