This trail is wonderful if your looking for a evening stroll. We took our two dogs and had them off…read morethe leash almost the entire time. The trail had almost no traffic, which is nice because no one likes a crowded trail. We don't know how long the trail is, but we went 3 miles. Caution should be noted when taking dogs (off leash) or children because this trailed goes across several backroads (wasn't busy at all).

There is no open or close time, go when you want to. It connects both Dunn and Erwin and there are…read moretwo main entry points. It's a ten mile trail and their are markers more than every .5 miles. It is an easily accessible road with parking wherever you choose and it's quiet both night and day. Do be careful for loose dogs about the midway intersection point. I'd recommend still carrying something on you for protection if you are going before sunrise or after sundown, not just a flashlight or reflective gear either. Easy trail, limited on inclines. Friendly for families, dogs, leisure walks or even bike rides. There are no signs pointing to the trail in clear sight unless you actually know where the start point is. This trail is also on the web if you want to know the history, parking spots, and entry spots.

If you are good at ignoring the power lines and barbed wire fences, there is no denying the beauty nature can bring. Only toilet is a Porto potty. Going down the trail, you will be all alone. Bring a buddy. There is one hug area for small dogs and two hug areas for large dogs.

The large dog area is huge and even has a second area in the back. There's always buckets of water out and waste bags available. They finally covered up a big mud hole that was pretty gross but then took away the kiddy pools for the dogs. There's no agility equipment or anything in this park so make sure you bring your own toys. There is so much room they could make this place great for dogs but just do the bare minimum. There's also a walking trail, if you do all them equals out to about 3 miles. Overall is pretty good gor a free park, never had issues with other dogs and it's maintained regularly. My dog loves coming so it's a plus!

Hope Mills Municipal Park was a huge part of my youth growing up very close by. I've lived in…read moreseveral different houses in or near Hope Mills and even volunteered at the library that sits beside this park. This little center of town makes up the perfect collection of services that make up an All-American place. There's the library I mentioned, fire station, police station, town hall and a park all wrapped up into one spot. The park itself is surrounded by a mostly paved one mile trail for walking, running or casual bike riding. Inside you can find plenty of parking, a few lit baseball fields, basketball court and even a couple football/soccer fields. There are picnic shelters, water fountains and bathroom. They even have concession stands for when the local games are played here. Last, and perhaps most important, there is a lightly attended recreation center here which I understand is free (or maybe just really cheap) to all residents of Hope Mills. In general, one would be remiss not to scope out this quiet and charming park.

Like some others have mentioned, the problems with the park aren't really pertaining to the park…read moreitself. It's usually the people who come to the park. Every so often you get someone not cleaning up after their pet, a rambunctious pup that doesn't know their own size, a h*mper, or an aggressive dog. Those are more owner issues, and with a park being public space, there's no real way to curb that. You just have to be on alert. Besides those things, my main issue is the height of the fences and that IS a park issue. It's right by a road people usually speed through, and among the many dogs I have and foster, one of them is a treeing walker coonhound. If you know anything about that breed, you know they be tree-walking. They tree-walk trees mostly, but they'll happily tree-walk their furry butts right over a fence if it's short enough. These fences are more cake-walk than tree-walk for my hound. I can't bring her here. She will yeet herself over that fence and right off the doggie census. That said, assuming your dog is not a fence-jumping maniac, it's a fun place.

The big dog park and the little dog park are two completely separate parks, in fact you have to walk over a little Bridge to get to the big dog park from the little dog park!! There are plenty of poop bag holders and trash cans and there are a few little benches around for you to sit on. There are a couple of agility items and a fire hydrant!! Wouldn't be a dog park without a fire hydrant. The ground covering is kind of like bark chunks? If you have weak ankles it's a little hard to walk on. But there are some old groceries and plenty of room for your dogs to run around and have fun. There is parking very close although you do have to walk across a little Bridge unless you're going to the small dog park.

There are two areas: one for small breeds (under 30 pounds) and one for large breeds (over 30 pounds). Each area has benches and water stations. Please note, any dog with a history of aggressive behavior is prohibited in the park. I wish this could be implemented more strictly but the majority of the dogs we saw at the park were friendly.

So this is a beautiful park, pretty spacious with a bench and a nice drinking fountain for pets…read more The issue is the people that come here. First time I came here a girl brought her eight week old puppy into the large dog side when there were some big damn dogs up in here. We tried to politely explain that maybe not the best idea because she hasn't had her shots and she could be hurt. She got super angry and stormed out. Said the puppy had her shots (um, no) and then glared at everyone from the small dog side. Second time some dudes dog comes and pees on my leg, no big deal except that's a training opportunity. He said I "shouldn't have worn such nice stuff to a dog park." I was wearing dirty jeans and three year old boots. I don't care if dogs jump on me, jump on my boots, get me filthy with black mud. That I can just remove. If your dog pisses on my damn shoes that's a different story and while it happens, it's an opportunity for you to say "NO!" And explain to your dog that we don't pee on people. Instead he literally laughed. So yeah, nice enough dog park with clueless people who don't pick up their dog shit. The good outweighs the bad but don't be surprised when people act a fool.

It is easy to locate with two handicap parking spaces at the main entrance and numerous other spots further down the road. The road through the park is paved. We entered the dog park through the side entrance. Both entrances have a double fence making it easy to leash and unleash your dog and prevent escapees. It seems most people bring their dogs around 5:30/6 pm weekdays. We are looking forward to attending when more dogs are here. The park has equipment, toys, water, and waste stations. The park was clean without holes and dog poop. Overall, we had a good experience here and look forward to returning!

There is a small trail that circles around the inside of the park. Two baby pools, plenty of running water, and tons of benches! The city does a great job of cleaning it and maintaining it

The folks who bring their dogs here are for the most part attentive and friendly, and both sides have a shelter with a picnic table or benches and chairs as well as benches along the fenceline. There are plenty of dispensers with good-sized, sturdy "mutt mitts" and trashcans dispersed around the fenceline for picking up after your dog. On weekends there's usually a well-attended 10am meetup on the small dog side. The medium-large side is huge with loads of room for unobstructed ball/frisbee throwing and a path that traverses around the inside of the fence. Parking is usually good except when there are soccer games on the fields at this end of Southern Community Park. We often park at the north end of the park and walk the easy quarter mile over to the dog park (there's a paved trail), and you may have to do this if there are soccer games going on. If there has been a lot of rain, the lower end of the medium-large side has an area that gets really muddy and should be avoided if you don't want your dog getting into the mud. We enjoy going here several times a week. It's an excellent place to get some good off-leash social time and exercise for your dog.

Upon pulling up we were greeted with a welcoming smile and an explanation of the ins and outs of the facility. We opted to pay 2 extra dollars to park within the gates ( because it was shady) but in the end feel that this was not really worth it for us that day. It was actually further away from the beach area. However, if you plan on grilling it will get your vehicle right next to the picnic tables and grills. There is a snack bar that is decently priced. There is also the opportunity to buy water toys. It wasn't too crowded and there appeared to be an adequate number of lifeguards monitoring the area. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean and there were also port-o-lets placed strategically around the parking lot. There are several water slides, a tarzan swing, and a slippery floating obstacle course. Bring sunscreen, towels, sandals( the sand is hot) and some beach chairs too! Next time we go we will take advantage of the grills! Overall tons of fun and we were able to spend several hours there!
