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.

The Ayden District Dog Park is a relatively new addition to the town of Ayden. I believe many…read morepeople still do not know about its existence. Given the relative dearth of dog parks in the area, this is such a welcomed feature for this side of town, saving many folks the drive to the Greenville Off Leash Dog Area. What I have heard others say about Ayden's Dog Park - and what I have witnessed myself - is the quality of the turf. The ground is hard and the grass is thick and covered, making it a nice and relatively clean place for dogs to run around and play, even after there's been some rain. My dog and I really enjoyed it here when we came to visit from Greenville, though the only downside (or not? depending...) is that I have never seen another dog there (yet). I do not think it has grown in popularity such that you can expect another playmate at all times. Sometimes, that is good, though, leaving more room for you to play with your fur baby!

This dog park is pretty awesome. It's tucked away near the main entrance. Watch out because not…read moreeverybody picks up after their dog, but it wasn't too bad and didn't stop our playing. There are two dog runs, both seem about the same size. Had a great time today playing with my very active dog! It makes for a nice change from the yard and he got to do a ton of sniffing. They have bags available for picking up dog doo and trash cans to dispose of it, and when it isn't winter it looks like they have water available (as well as restrooms in a short walking distance, also closed in winter). Note that it might not be perfect for those who want to throw frizbees or shoot balls out as far as they can; the runs aren't very big. A large dog can still run, just not for very long unless it wants to do a bunch of cornering. If you have an adopted greyhound, it would be too small for a safe full-speed run (though still way better than nothing).

I had good experiences for a while. Sometimes it would have feces but unfortunately some owners…read moredon't pick up. This weekend I took my 10 lb long haired chihuahua to run off some energy. He's small he gets nervous. He can get injured from being stepped on by a larger dog. There were 3 members of a family watching a smaller dog play and had a pitbull mix on a collar leash, not even a harness, in the small dog fence. I didn't know the dog, friendly? Not? Family wasn't friendly when I expressed my concern saying the dog was leashed. But a larger dog on simply a collar is still questionably controlled. They called me a racist, said I had no right to say the large dog shouldn't be in there. They said in a snarky way to 'do what ya gotta do' multiple times. I drove 20 minutes to let my dog run and couldn't take him off leash. I called the city of Greenville that said nobody could be there for an hour but just to keep my dog on a leash. This is supposed to be an off leash dog park! The trip was a waste of time and I left. I got the name of the person, As I left I was told that my skin doesn't handle the sun well and to get something on my reptile skin. How is this ok? I'll never financially support the park or the city of Greenville but I'm not rich so I guess it doesn't matter. The family was rude & inconsiderate. They claimed I felt entitled in a public park in the SMALL dog fence. The city of Greenville told me to call if something happened. No, my dog is precious and I'd never chance it. I was bit by a dog in the past trying to get to my dog. I have mobility issues & use a handicap placard so I cannot walk him distances. I'm very disappointed in my home town. Why would I return to the park? Below is a photo if the dog that they let loose running after I left in the small dog fence. Even if a friendly dog simply not appropriate. My dog got a pup cup afterwards to make up for not getting to run. Since then I've had other people tell me that they won't return either. Some even have large dogs but had other bad experiences. A few bad apples can ruin it for some of us.

But there is plenty of room to run, a great watering station, a lot of poop bag dispensers and trash cans, there are even some old school scoops and shovels for you to pick up the Poo with!! Although it appears that very few do? But the park is mostly grass there are a few places where it is dirt. It has a lot of old growth trees. And the people that come here seem to be very friendly and the dog seem to be very social. I think you can either park at the curb as you drive into the park or if you continue on a little further there is an actual parking lot. And the entryway is, well, big and long? I think they could have made better use of that entry area and space. But that won't stop your baby from having fun!

Dogs need there space not to be in the middle of an active field with small dogs, ppl, children. That's a bad connection. The trainers bring dogs that have no control of their senses to a family park in an open space. Park department should not allow this. My dad trained German shepherd , Doberman and he trained them indoor until they were well trained and obedience. If they continue to get complains the park department may listen. I don't know why they are not investigating yet. I would hate to have find another park for my pup because of safety.

My girls a had a ton of fun but didn't even sniff the entire Park, it's so big. It's fenced in and safe, but there is not a large and small dogs section. I don't see that as an issue, I'd like the opportunity for my dogs to meet smaller dogs and learn how to play with them appropriately. There are fun obstacles to train on but there are hardly ever other dogs there. Maybe I'm just going at the "wrong time" but it's usually empty. Lots of puddles and some mud if it has rained recently, but I brought a towel and that was no issue. Gives your dog a place to get a drink!

All of the sites were flat (which is what you want), and offered plenty of privacy (The sites were very spacious from one another). All RV sites consist of 30 and 50 amp hookups, as well as a connection to fresh water, and a sewage pipe. The bath house was new and clean. It was modern on the inside, offered hot water (even in 20 degrees), and was well taken care of. The camp host does a great job at taking care of this site. I would highly recommend that you stay/visit Goose Creek when you can. It is a great hidden spot that offers a wide array of trails and activities.

Some of the big dog owners also just turned their dogs loose and the little dog part and then don't clean up so you walk in and there's just dog crap everywhere, literally everywhere.

Let's his dog crap all over the place and if somebody says something to him about him, he says, I pay my taxes and he gets confrontational. There are some super nice people and super nice dogs that come here but the negative people certainly make this a far less attractive park to bring your dog to. Nobody likes dodging dog shit mines all over the place.
