About this park

Charter E. Doyle Park is a well-maintained multi-use park on the south side of Knoxville with dedicated fenced areas for both large and small dogs, sitting benches inside each enclosure, and forested walking trails that climb into the hills behind the facility. The dog park sections are separate from the tennis courts, picnic areas, and open lawn, giving dogs a clear zone without foot traffic from other park users.

Synthesized from 300 Google reviews
The highlights

Reviewers praise the spacious grounds, the well-maintained tennis courts nearby, and the separate large and small dog enclosures with owner seating. The wooded hillside trail adds a nature element that most urban dog parks lack.

The community

The park draws a mix of families and dog owners. Visitors note the atmosphere is relaxed and not overly crowded, with enough space that multiple groups rarely feel on top of each other.

Before you go

Recent reviews note that trash and waste bag stations can go uncleaned for extended periods. Bring your own bags to be safe. The forested walking path is short but worth doing before or after the dog park.
