A four-acre fenced off-leash dog park inside 146-acre Reedy Creek Park, operated by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation. The larger park includes a nature center, ponds, and picnic shelters, and it adjoins a 727-acre nature preserve with ten miles of on-leash hiking trails. The dog park is divided into areas for big and small dogs.
You can run your dog off-leash for an hour and then hike ten miles of leashed nature-preserve trails on the same property - an unmatched combination in Charlotte.
Mecklenburg County dog park rules apply: open daily 7:30 am-sunset, current vaccinations (Rabies with tag, DHLPP, Bordetella) required, no children under 12. Dogs must be leashed in the rest of Reedy Creek Park and the preserve. Source: parkandrec.mecknc.gov.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
