The dog park is big and is separated into two (2) section, a large and small section, perhaps for larger and smaller dogs? The entire dog park is perhaps the same size of a half a football field? Large. There are water bowls and a trash can but we did found dog waste in the park, not picked up by their owners which is unfortunate. But overall is it was nice. I would say about 2/3 of the park is sand and 1/3 grass. I would return to take my dog here.

While visiting the beach for the day, I brought my dogs here to let some energy out. I was not expecting there to be a group of regulars here so early. Right away they welcomed us and our dogs played nicely together. There are three sections to the dog park. One for large dogs on the left, the middle for senior dogs, and the right side for smaller dogs. There are places to sit, waste stations, water, and a dog wash. My dogs had a great time running around and meeting everyone. The park provides ample shade and room to run around. The dog owners were attentive and welcoming. They provided recommendations for places to visit in the area and one gave me a sticker after her dog jumped up on me (so creative and hilarious). Apple maps will take you to a parking lot by the arboretum and pond. The sign does not mention the dog park, but it is a close walk nearby. There is a parking lot closer to the dog park if you do not want to walk as far. Overall, great experience at this park and we recommend it to others!

Overall we had a good experience and recommend it to others!

I love a good park as much as the next parent with children, but this outdoor recreational area is…read morejust not quite up to par. Don't get me wrong, it has a beautiful setting among tall pines and offers a tranquil area free of noise and little traffic. The Southern Shores Civic Association maintains the park and is responsible for any improvements through association dues. The park has been present for at least six years and do not think it's over ten years. The very best thing that I can say about the park is that there is one at all. I would consider Sea Oats a neighborhood park and to my knowledge there is not another one until you get to Duck to the North and it's superior. The fact that Southern Shores donated this valuable piece of land for the use of a park is commendable. Let's start with the best of what is here. Recently improvements were made to the single hoop basketball court and there were signifigant. New concrete was poured and a Goalzilla adjustable hoop with glass back was installed. These hoops are the BEST and are around $1,500. Parking is the first item that is less than desirable. Only around a half dozen spots exist on the hard surface. However this may not be a problem as the park is rarely busy. A bike rack exist and is a plus as many children use this mode of transport around the beach. There is also some wood play equipment, plastic slide and a swing set... ages 10 and under appropriate for play area. Although the swings can be up to adult and they do have a single one for a toddler. Biggest room for improvement that would really enhance the park is upgraded equipment, they have plenty of room. There is also a very large field for soccer and a single goal. On the day I visited it was not maintained and in desperate need of mowing. I doubt that any games are played here, but assume practices for local teams take place at this location. The biggest negative are lack of a restroom facility, not even a port a potty which I would recommend be leased as a more reasonable option to construction of a facility. Other improvements that could take place are a few trash cans and additional picnic tables (only two). I picked up debris around the BB court and placed it in the roll out dumpster by the road. There is one for trash, another for recycling. Check it out for yourself and draw your own opinions. I am at a 2.5 rounding down. However, I can see parents of young children bumping this up and understandably so. Even at a 2 I am still recommending Sea Oats due to the scarcity of parks with playground equipment in the area. My assumption is the BB court is one of many improvements planned for the small park.

In the off season, they have drink specials as low as $3 for standard beer and $5 for a nice craft. Staff is always friendly.
