Carolina Pines Dog Park
Pine-shaded acres with room to run and rarely a crowd
About this park
Carolina Pines occupies a genuine pine forest off I-40, with ground cover of packed dirt, pine needles, and exposed roots; the canopy keeps things shaded on all but the hottest afternoons. Three separate fenced sections cover large dogs, small dogs, and a training area, with water buckets near the well and agility platforms throughout. Watch your footing on the roots near the tree lines.

Carolina Pines Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers consistently praise the size of the large-dog run, the natural pine shade, and how uncrowded the park stays even on weekends. The three-section layout handles dogs of all temperaments well.
Doggy daycare vans occasionally fill the park on weekday mornings, but independent owners find it quiet most other times. The regulars are friendly and easy-going.

Before you go
The water is available from a dripping well near the main entrance; bring backup for the far sections. Root systems near the tree lines are a trip hazard, so stay on the open dirt runs if you are distracted.
