About this park

A small double-gated dog park on church grounds in Forest Hill, with a splash pool, hose water access from the adjacent building, and pair-it-with-a-walk proximity to Forest Hill Park's trails. A quieter alternative to the busier city options for anyone on the south side.

The highlights

Reviewers love the puppy pool and the hose-fed water source, plus the easy combo with Forest Hill Park's walking trails right next door.

The community

A grateful, low-key crowd. The fact that a local church donates the space is a recurring note of appreciation in reviews.

Before you go

The park sits right next to Forrest Avenue, and passing buses and trucks can startle noise-sensitive dogs. Fence maintenance has been inconsistent, so check for gaps before letting a small dog off-leash.
