William A. Pitts Park
Fenced woodland trails where zoomies happen in real underbrush
About this park
A hillside Antioch dog park with roughly a third of a mile of mulched, fenced woodland trails that let dogs run zoomies through real underbrush. The entire area is fenced in one shared space rather than split by size, and picnic benches sit under the heaviest shade near a working water fountain. Reviewers are consistently surprised at how much room opens up once you walk past the main dog-park gate.

William A. Pitts Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers love the wooded mulched trails looping through the fenced area, calling them a rare find for a city dog park. The heavy shade, working water fountain, and sheer amount of space all earn repeat praise.
Mornings draw a laid-back crowd of neighborhood regulars, while afternoons pull in a larger, higher-energy mix of dogs from the surrounding Antioch neighborhoods.

Before you go
Visit in the morning if you want a calmer scene; regulars warn the afternoon crowd gets busy and rowdy. Note the perimeter uses horse-farm fencing that is not especially tall, so keep a close eye on any confirmed jumpers.
