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.

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

One of my new favorite places in the Boone area when I go. There is no shortage of coffee shops in…read morethe Boone/ Blowing Rock area but Mountain Dog offers a little more than average - a dog park and much more. There are small freezers with Sheppard's pie's and other pies as well as cakes and biscuits. The food is a little pricey but they are all hefty meals. The coffee selection is a honest selection of a typical coffee shop but there is a special menu that is separate from the main "traditional" menu. The special menu is a compilation of special drinks (dog inspired). We tried the goldendoodle which was golden milk with chai and it was really good. The staff was quick and helpful and fun to talk with. This place is highly recommended!

They are also part of the social district which means you can take your drinks with you! They have an agility course for dogs, even a ball pit, and pools are located outside. Everyone is super friendly and they also have a few other dog related items for sale such as buddy budder, lick mats and even a dog beer called Tailwaggers. How cute is that!?!?! They offer training, dog nail trims and do fun crafts. Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed when you see how much your dog enjoys running around.

I also appreciate the little benches for owners to sit on while they watch their pets play. I also love that almost every time I go, I run into the same dog parents and we all just refer to each other as the [dog's name]'s mom or dad lol.

The dog park for big doggos is massive, so much space to let your dog run and play. Our baby is a bit too excited so we kept him on the leash until he gets some training. But we really loved the size of the park. There is also a separate small dog park area which is nice. We ended up just walking the hiking trail with our good boy and he loved that. It's pretty long and we didn't even walk the entire thing. I'm sure it's so beautiful out there in the warmer months too. We will absolutely be back!!

The dog was running and barking, not the lady. The park also has a basketball court and a playground, both of which are roped off for the pandemic. The playground has a great rubber base which is terrific for the little ones who tend to fall down a lot. Note that the parking lot is shared by the nearby church so you may have trouble parking on a Sunday morning. The large picnic shelter is reservable. There is a food pantry here and a Little free library. [Review 13206 overall, 523 of 2020.]

On top of that, one of the baseball fields was being used for little league play and they were going all out. The park has two picnic shelters with tables and grills, a tennis court, basketball court, batting cages, restrooms, splashpad and two playgrounds. One of the playgrounds is named after Zahra Baker and I'd suggest you not go look up that name. The park is handicapped accessible including some of the rides. The four baseball fields are lighted. Parking was very limited today with lots of parents bringing their kids and hanging out. I managed to find a legal spot in front of a home on a cross street. Don't block driveways or fire hydrants!

There are plenty of shaded areas surrounding the park and plenty of parking spaces. This park is not local for us otherwise it would definitely be a part of our weekly park rotation. If you're nearby though and have some rambunctious kiddies, this is the place to take them.
