Herty Pines Dog Park
Towering pines, a long run for fetch, and a separate small-dog section
About this park
Herty Pines Dog Park is a generously sized fenced run behind Daffin Park and the Savannah Bananas stadium, shaded by tall pines and stocked with picnic tables, two water fountains, and agility equipment. The surface is loose dirt and pine needles rather than grass, and a separate small-dog section keeps the little ones out of the fray.

What visitors consistently sayRegulars love the mature pines, the room to run, and the long straightaway that suits fetch. The agility equipment and the two water fountains come up again and again as reasons Herty Pines holds its crowd.

Before you go
Bring a towel: the surface is loose dirt and pine needles, so paws come back dusty even on dry days. Parking can disappear during Savannah Bananas home games next door, so plan to walk a bit from a farther lot.
Frequently asked
- What is the ground surface like?
- Loose dirt and pine needles rather than grass. It turns muddy fast after rain with nowhere on site to rinse a dog, and one reviewer found it dusty after the ground was scraped during a renovation.
- Is there a separate small-dog area?
- Yes. A smaller fenced section sits apart from the main run, which is big enough that one reviewer describes a long straightaway for private fetch.
- How is parking on Savannah Bananas game days?
- Rough. Herty Pines Dog Park sits directly behind the stadium, and reviewers describe parking as close to nonexistent when a game is on, so a walk in from a farther lot is the fallback.
- Is drinking water available?
- Two water fountains serve the run, and a recent reviewer describes plenty of fresh water alongside the picnic tables under the pines.
- Anything to watch for underfoot?
- Dogs have dug deep holes in places. One reviewer flags them as the park's main hazard and advises watching footing while crossing the open run.
