PetSafe Pistol Creek Dog Park
Creek-side park with a waterfall, shaded seating, and two off-leash areas
About this park
PetSafe Pistol Creek Dog Park sits along the Maryville-Alcoa Greenway in Maryville, about 20 minutes south of Knoxville, with two fenced off-leash enclosures (one for large dogs, one for small) set beside a walking path that runs along Pistol Creek. A waterfall is visible from the parkway, and mature trees shade the seating areas inside both enclosures. Dog-sized drinking fountains and waste bag stations are stocked in each area. The city recently rebuilt the bridge and added a pavilion. No restrooms on-site.

PetSafe Pistol Creek Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers call the setting peaceful and well-designed, with the creek-side environment and mature tree shade standing out. The dog-height drinking fountains and the neatly separated large and small-dog areas get consistent praise. Labs and high-energy retrievers are a common sight.
Regulars bring their dogs often, and a lab owner in one review noted the friendly, easygoing atmosphere. Visitors passing through from Knoxville frequently make a point of stopping here.

Before you go
There are no restrooms at this facility, so plan accordingly. Waste bags are sometimes out of stock; bring your own. The creek and waterfall are visible from the path outside the enclosures but not directly accessible from inside the dog park.
