Pleasant Ridge Park
On-leash green space wrapping the southeast dog yards, with a walking trail and restrooms
About this park
The broader Pleasant Ridge Park surrounds the fenced dog yards on Lexington's southeast side. A walking trail runs along the perimeter, and the park carries restrooms, a drinking fountain, a playground, and a sizable parking lot. There is no fence between the green space and Pleasant Ridge Drive itself, so leashed control matters near the road.
Amenities
Pleasant Ridge Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers like the quiet, slightly hidden setting, the walking trail along the green space, and the convenience of restrooms and water on site. It works best as the leashed bookend to a session in the adjacent dog yards.

Before you go
On-leash only outside the adjacent fenced dog park, and traffic on Pleasant Ridge Drive runs steady, so keep a short lead near the street. Restroom condition has drawn recent complaints, so plan accordingly.
