Mother Matilda Beasley Park
A hidden downtown run with covered seating and a wash station
About this park
A fenced downtown dog park tucked behind a larger neighborhood green, long enough for real zoomies and shaded enough for a lingering afternoon. Covered seating and a washing area back up the basics (fresh water, waste bags, room to run), and the regulars treat it like a front porch for their dogs.

Before you go
The park floods in heavy rain, so plan for a muddy pup or skip it the day after a storm. Bring your own bowl: the fresh-water spigot and wash station are on site, but bowls come and go.
