Nice dog park, old baseball field converted. Lots of shade, does have a water source, and a sand box for dogs to dig. Never seems to have other dogs there which is a bummer and usually why I bring my dog to the park. Started going to piney woods dog park more regularly. This place is still good to go to

Great because it has a separate area for little little dogs and a sand box for them! A water station and plenty of shade / seating. Can be quite muddy in areas though which is why I took off a star.

Old baseball diamond converted to a dog park. Area for larger dogs, area for small ones. Scenic trees surrounding the park and the Ellerbee creek trail goes right past

Shows you how much Durham has changed. Too bad nobody plays or cares about baseball anymore....oh well...

The large park is great, can get very wet and muddy but otherwise a nice clean space for dogs. The small dog park usually has a very cliquey group of people who lets their dogs run the show including letting their dogs jump all over yours and hump it mercilessly. They wont even get up when you have to go pull their dog off yours for the 20th time. 5 stars for big dog park, little dog park is a wet blanket.

Just last week, I witnessed a dog fight and a woman, carrying a baby on her chest, tried to get in the middle of eat. As a result, she had a hand sized laceration on her arm. If your dog is aggressive, please dont go to a dog park. The city should also fine resident for bringing infants to all city dog parks. Thats an accident waiting to happen.

Very large dog park with high fences. There is water available for the dogs and tables and chairs for the humans. The area is well maintained by the city and in a nice neighborhood park

There were many dogs over 30lbs in the small dog area which was overwhelming for our small dog-people there were unresponsive when i reminded them that there is a 30 lb limit

Very nice dog park with seperate areas for big& lil dogs~ Tip: Lavender Ave that the park is located on, looks like a walking path but you are able to drive down there& park :)

We love that Durhams dog parks have sandboxes for dogs to freely dig in. This park in particular gets a little (a lot) muddy after it rains, but beyond that, this is a great dog park

Converted baseball field with lots of room for doggies to run around. There are two different fenced areas for dogs to play. One area is for small dogs (under 30 pounds) and the other is for bigger dogs. Most of the people that go are friendly and do a good job of keeping an eye on their dogs.

Not as large as Piney Wood but lots of friendly people and dogs. Plenty of baggies for doggy poop. A couple picnic tables and some plastic chairs for seating.

Review №22

Nice large area for small dogs. The surrounding park is beautiful with area to run, grill, and play tennis. Dog park has a couple of places to sit. There is one area by the gate where a really small dog could slip through

This dog park is probably going to be shut down because it is in a floodplain and cannot be adequately renovated. I believe another dog park will open up soon near here closer to Rock Quarry Park. At the moment in February 2018 there are a lot of muddy spots in the dog park. Nonetheless, the dogs love it and love to play it.

Review №26

Cant give the park full marks because the water was out in both the big dog and little dog park. Kind of muddy, but that is usual for a dog park. Not a lot of tree coverage/shade but you could consider that a positive in that theres tons of open space for the doggies to run.

Review №28

There is no engagement. No trees. Very muddy. Thebowners have not seats and congregate near the door where there is less mud due to the tiniest amount of mulch havjng been applied.

My dog loves playing here and meeting other pals! It is muddy at times... plan for a dog bath after! Recommend boots.

Review №30

Go here often and isnt perfect but is still pretty good. Two dog parks and both a good size. Can be a bit messy after a rain.It is not too bad but if you bring your dog to the park be sure to have the respect to clean up after them.

Review №31

You owe it to your dog to bring him here Today, there were no other dogs, so Murray spent the time running full throttle. Its even more fun (for you and the dog) when there are more dogs there

Review №32

Very small park, as long as it hasnt rained recently its not too bad but plain dirt field so any rain turns the area into a mudslide. Fencing not well maintained. Do have two separate areas for small and large dogs and shelter in large dog area to get out of the sun plus a few plastic chairs to sit in and a picnic table.

Review №33

A great little park! The location is perfect and I love the size, but being in a floodplain makes it sooo muddy. I know there isnt too much of a solution, though, and my dog definitely isnt complaining.

This is an old recreational league baseball field that has been turned into a dog park. There is one area designated for big dogs, and another area designated for small dogs. The spaces are simple, with a watering station. Some seating is available in the old dugouts (not in the small dog area) and occasionally there are some chairs left behind as well. Its a nice secluded area surrounded by woods, with the North South Greenway Trail passing right past/through the park, and it is visited frequently by Northgate Park Neighborhood residents.

We go fairly often after work and reliably meet about a dozen dogs around 6 PM. People and dogs are nice; dogs are mostly medium to large. It gets quite muddy in wet weather and it takes a while to dry out. Parking is convenient and there are lights at night.

Nice dog park with fences for both small and large dogs. Most people seem to do a good job of picking up after their dogs.

I love this park. All people and dogs are friendly. Ive never witnessed an altercation between dogs at this location, which is pretty rare for a dog park I give 4 instead of 5 because of the fence damage in a couple spots.
