A free, spacious and well-appointed dog park on the south end of Southern Community Park with…read moredouble-gated sides for small and medium-large dogs and water available during daylight savings time (it is turned off for winter). 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.

Most popular time is definitely before 10:30am. But even after that there are always pups there. I can't speak for the small dog park, though. We have never had a problem here all dogs have been very friendly as well as the humans :) The park is very large and has lots of room for your dog to wander and explore. 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 dog park is just natural normal trees and ground covering fenced in for your dog's enjoyment!!

They have three separate yards with one being for the agility items. It can be a little bit dusty but the dogs really seem to enjoy it

They have great amenities in making this a wonderful park. But.....way too much debris all over the park. Everywhere you looks you could see litter and it looks like it has been there for awhile.

But.....the park division should monitor the park for debris and dog poo on the artificial soccer fields. There is a sign that says no dogs on artificial turf, but who reads anymore. I seen at least 8 dogs on the field and one at the far end doing his business , off the leash, no owner in sight to pick up the poo.

It is still clean (a positive) and there are more people who live downtown now so it's slightly busier on the weekends. However, there is still little seating or shade. Also, there's not even a fountain or water bowls provided for dogs so BYOB for your pup. I really hope that with so many things changing in downtown Durham the City will put some funds into improving this dog park.

It's no fun to be here, and given its lack of appeal and small size, there are hardly ever other dogs here either. Convenient walking distance from downtown activities and apartments, but given the rapid influx of people moving into Durham, the city could stand to make this a more usable space by laying grass or turf, planting some trees and adding a water source and more seating.

Trails - well maintained, nice for walks with the dog Dog Park - I try going when I don't think there will be too, too many dogs since I heard from previous reviews some owners don't pay too close attention if things get rowdy. They have provided water bowls, doggie bags, and trash bins as well as seating for the owners in both the small and large dog areas. Also I've noticed - perhaps some owners left them for others to use - there are also some well loved tennis balls to play with if you don't bring your own toys. With the rain, it does get to be where you may not want to bring your dog there since the mulchy muddy combination gets intense. All in all, looking forward to getting back there once it dries up!

She comes home mentally and physically exhausted, and she is so happy. Baden sends pictures of her during the day, and Isla is always smiling. (I am leaving proof for you below. ) I can't say enough about Baden and the PPS! If you love your dog as much as I love my Isla, there is nothing better. Highest recommendation!

I was looking for a dog park in the area to take my pooch Shadow and came upon this gem. Shadow is…read morepredominantly around humans and I want him to get some animal interaction to socialize him. The park is amazingly big with plenty of room for dogs to run around freely, meet and greet, and play with other dogs. There is a small dog area, a large dog area, and an agility area. There are benches and water fountains in each area. The large dog area has pools in it for dogs to get wet. I do wish there was one in the small dog area however I don't mind going in the large dog area so that my Shadow can enjoy and cool off. The agility area has a few obstacles that pets can run and jump on. The areas are large enough for you to get some steps in, sit and watch your pets, or play with them. While we were there two other dogs and I met some very nice dog owners. I will definitely be taking Shadow at least once a week.

A lot of the dog parks around the Raleigh area want you to register and buy an annual pass. This didn't make sense for us. I have never seen this before and it is not very welcoming to people visiting. However, the Carolina Pines Dog Park is free and open to anyone! Wahoo! Anyways, this park is tucked away in the far back and you have to drive around all the way to the back of the park at 15 mph. They have three separate fenced in areas. The large dog is a really good size. It was right after the storm so it was pretty muddy and lots of branches everywhere. There are lots of mature trees inside and plenty of space to roam. It is very rustic and a true woods. There is water buckets around the area. Make sure you bring some "poo poo" bags and a tennis ball or two! Most dogs were really friendly and just wanted to run around and chase each other. There was one young pitbull that would not leave my dog alone while we were playing fetch. The owner finally came over and left with the dog. My dog who is a big yellow Labrador and usually ignores dogs or just likes to run with other dogs actually did snarl his teeth at the dog because he was obviously very annoyed by it. This is a good park and I would definitely go there again!
