Watkins Park - Mount Airy Dog Park
Three fenced sections that spread the pack out on busy afternoons
About this park
Mount Airy's dog park sits inside the larger Watkins Park complex, split into three spacious fenced sections that let owners self-sort by energy level or dog size. Shaded benches line each area and a combined human/dog water fountain sits just outside the gate, making it a comfortable stop for an hour of off-leash play.

Best for
Before you go
The outside water fountain is shut off in winter, so bring your own bottle on unseasonably warm November and December days. Park in the main Watkins Park lot, not at the school next door where signs prohibit it.
