About this park

Tom Sawyer Dog Park sits within E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park and operates as a members-only facility under the Louisville Dog Run Association. The grounds split between a small-dog section and an all-dog side with a gravel trail, gazebos, and a low area that floods into a natural pond after heavy rain. A wash station handles muddy dogs before the drive home.

The highlights

Reviewers consistently call it one of the best dog parks in Louisville. The shaded gravel trail, multiple gazebos, and the natural pond on the all-dog side draw repeat visits.

The community

Friendly and well-established. Regulars visit at all hours and keep the park clean. A nearby Starbucks has made the post-park coffee run part of the weekend ritual for many members.

Before you go

Membership required via the Louisville Dog Run Association. The all-dog section gets muddy and pools after rain; bring a towel. The pond area is well-loved but means a bath day.
