Waverly Dog Run
Wooded trail run with a creek, though maintenance is uneven
About this park
Waverly Dog Run is a gated trail-style park set within Waverly Park, with a creek running through the enclosure that older reviews describe as a highlight. The gate operates on a Louisville Dog Run Association key fob, though recent visitors report the fob reader is often non-functional. Maintenance has been inconsistent: trash bins fill up, poop bag stations run out, and the fence line needs attention.

Before you go
Bring your own poop bags and water. Supplies run out and aren't reliably restocked. The gate may not require a fob due to a broken reader; confirm current access before purchasing a Louisville Dog Run membership solely for this park.
