This is probably my favorite dog park I've ever visited! It is huge, and the views are stunning…read more There is so much space for dogs to run and play. There are several different fenced in areas available for the dogs, technically a small dog area, big dog area, and (sort of unspoken rule) a play area for dogs who like to roughhouse more. Picnic tables, benches, and a gazebo exist. There are also poop stations and water buckets for the dogs to drink from (and some of them to splash in). The only downside about this park is it isn't free - membership is required for residents and guests alike (check the website for more info). That said, it's worth the cost to let your dog run free. Plus, this place is ran and operated by the local humane society. There's nothing funnier to me than seeing my dog emerge from the bottom of the hill and run all the way back up to see me at the top.

So, it doesn't tell you till you GET there, that it's $10 to get in, you have to buy a pass at the…read morehumane society which of course has terrible hours on only certain days... and of course you HAVE to bring your dogs vaccination records... like we all carry those around with us. So lord oh lord, don't even THINK about going here on a whim, or if you're traveling through town. Be prepared to jump through more hoops than your dog will just to get in to a grass field. Unreal.

Great place to unwind and clear your head after a long day. There is a walking path that circles…read morethe whole park for shorter walks, with the option to take an alternate path that will take you as far as you care to go. There are two large fenced-in enclosures for dogs; one for smaller dogs and another for larger ones. I usually go here just to walk, but I often see people riding bikes, scooters, and hoverboards. There is also a big, gazebo-like structure that serves as a picnic area, with close access to barbecue grills for cooking out. This place is an especially good option if you're tired of Carrier Park, but there is another walking path that leads back in that direction if you start to miss it. Highly recommended.

Visitors to the area will discover that Asheville possesses a majestic vista of the surrounding…read moremountains, but a pretty unimpressive river. There are other stretches of the French Broad that are more aesthetically pleasing, but around here, it's a brown snake that doesn't seem impressive. If you pass through the city without stopping here, you're not missing anything given the profligate majestic clear waterfalls in the mountains nearby. However, there is a decent pedestrian infrastructure built up around this bridge, and several restrooms, launch facilities for watercraft, and other useful features. For the more casual or local user, it's at least a waterfront that has been well developed for public use.

Hidden treasure indeed, this dog park isn't very clearly marked and it's a short walk from the…read moreparking area to the entrance. Over some relatively smooth grass, so not completely handicapped accessible. Entrance to the park requires registration with the City of Davidson Police Department where you'll be required to bring a copy of the rabiest vaccination certificate. Inside the fully enclosed park, there are water fountains, shaded areas, places for the humans to sit and even a hiking trail and natural area. It's really pretty darned cool. A few folks have left doggie toys for play. [Review 13409 overall, 728 of 2020.]

Hidden Treasure They…read morehave been able to transform a transmission area into a series of parks and gardens in what would have been otherwise dead land. Great planning and I applaud. You end up with community gardens, childrens play area, nice quiet area to sit and reflect and a very nice dog park. Lexi (Welsh Corgi) and I went to explore today Took a bit of hunting plus a GPS to find the park but well worth it. Ample parking, nice double gate to get in, tennis balls for our furry friends, picknic tables and sitting areas for the humans and a big water dish. Unfortunately it had just stopped raining when we got her so there were no dogs for Lexi to play with. Nice facility otherwise. Strongly suggest as a different place to bring your friendly canine
