Absolutely love this dog park!! Do your dog a favor and take them there TODAY. Just moved to the area, went to all three dogs parks, in Durham, in one day. This one was hands down the best of them all. From the huge fenced in areas for both large and small dogs, there is also a fenced off area for frisbee/ball play. Someone donated a couple plastic little pools that are right next to a water hose to refill them or the numerous water bowls that have also been donated. Every time we go there are a bunch of dogs, from the owners to the dogs everyone has been so nice and friendly. Seriously went the next day after we found this place and I plan on taking my dog as much as I can. She gets so worn out playing and running with the other dogs. Almost forgot to mention the multiple picnic tables and plenty of trees and shade for you to relax at while your dog plays. There is also a couple sand boxes for the dogs to dig in as well. Such an awesome park, happy to join!!

Its really fun even for older kids like me. I also really like the forest area around it, which you can go in. There are some teepee things made of sticks that are cool to look at but arent necessarily very strong so dont go in them. Well shaded. I like to watch the dogs at the dog park while Im at the playground.

As a dog park, it is very good. It has great trails and very open areas for dog lovers like me. It also has great areas for children and their families to have a great time. It is one of my favorite places in Durham.

Great park and also has a dog park. Great neighbors and two minutes from the mall and dozens.of restaurants. Picnic tables allow you to just sit and have an amazing afternoon.

We found this park kind of by accident, but what a great find! I had gone to Perkins Orchard then looked in maps for a nearby park to take the kids and this popped up. Its a fun little park with lots of shade! Its next to a dog park as well so my kids were excited to see the dogs go by and watch them play. Theres also some picnic tables and benches so it would be a great place for a lunch outing. Next time Im over in Durham Ill definitely be back to this nice little spot!

I belong to a group who practices Tai Chi in a large picnic shelter here. It is perfect for social distancing. The park also has a playground, a dog park, and athletic fields. Better signage is needed to help newcomers find the various facilities.

We went for the dog park. It was a little bit of a walk from the parking to the inside of the dog area but it was grassy, shaded, large, and nice. The bag dispenser inside was out of bags but we had grabbed some at the entry so it wasn’t a big deal. Lots of room to throw a ball and had trees around to be in the shade or away from others.Recommend this dog park and will be back.

I love coming up to this park literally I can bring my son and 2 dogs here absolutely recommend for anyone with children and or pets great way to let their energy out

Great park with swings and slides. The playground area is a little small and I wish more people were wearing masks.

Huge dog park with multiple areas for the fur babies to run and frolic. Lots of shade and benches for the fur parents and multiple water sources. Well done!!

Great park. Unfortunately my car and at least 4 others got broken into today. Window shattered and wallets/purses stolen.

The sectional dog park is perfect . Playground super. Pavilion also super. Beautiful sports fields: sad they might not be used this year.

Pity this is not an open parkSoccer Field NEVER OPENSo i just want to highlight 3 things1) Sports should always be an outlet for children and young kids you know Gets them away from video games, tv, etc. You get the point2) Tennis court AND Baseball field Always OPEN3) Soccer is not a top USA Sport so why lockup a soccer Field.If you are worried about destruction ..... Its 2020 cameras are available.Pitty

Good place to go to your family tennis courts soccer field dog park kind of an all-in-one one

Fun park full of good dogs their people.

Always a nice park to have a party. Lots of room to play and the shelter is big enough for multiple parties when Covid-19 is defeated

Best dog park have ever been to! Lots of shade, benches for humans, fresh water and bowls and other great dog amenities. Nice bunch of local dog owners (we were passing) through. Dogs and humans all had fun!

Everyone has control of their pets and is super friendly. Park is huge and your dog will love it! Nanaki enjoyed it but shes a bit shy so Im sure by our second trip shell be running all over with the other dogs.

Great small dog park.

Nice play area. Wooded. Good variety of equipment. Can go look at the dogs in the dog park as well

Dogs were very aggressive. 2 different dogs attacked my dog. If your dog is aggressive do not bring them to a dog park!

Great dog park section, my two dogs love coming here and having a blast running around and exploring.

Piney Wood has a lovely dog park. The dog park is huge with areas for both under 30 and above 30 pound dogs. The park has lots of tennis balls, nice shade from tall trees, and water stations for dogs to drink and play. All the other dogs and owners I have met here have been very nice and friendly.

Dog park is great if you go at the right time with the right dogs & owners. 9/10 owners are careless and refuse to discipline clearly aggressive dogs. Only lived here for 2 months & have seen 15-20 dog fights, including my own dog being attacked unprovoked. I do not recommend unless necessary for your dog to play.

Great shady park for kids with fun playground! And an expansive dog park with several areas for different sized critters to run free.

I have only visited Piney Wood for the dog park, but it is a great one! The dog park has a very large fenced in area for big dogs. They have a ton of water jugs you can fill up and faucets to do so, as well as a kiddie pool full of water for your dog to play in (or clean off in). There grassy areas and sandy areas, and ample dog cleanup stations too. Overall, everything you need!

Be aware, your dog must be registered with the country of Durham to enter!!! We just moved from Seattle, wish we knew that before making the 20min drive here! Will update after we make it into the park...

Tired, happy doggoes

Fun, friendly, safe environment.

Nice, big park frequented by friendly people who let my dog join in on their game of fetch.

Really HUGE park, a little confusing to navigate your first time. The sandbox is really fun!!!there is no hose/fountain so water is a bit scarce though.

The playground is very nice, my 3 year old absolutely loved it! The bathrooms were typical park bathrooms, they work in a pinch but definitely try to avoid them if possible. Not much info about the dog park bc we dont have a dog but looked like a nice fenced in dog area with different areas for different sized dogs.

Pretty great dog park with big dog, small dog, and extra areas. Water is available during warmer months and there is a kiddie pool on the big dog side. Could really use lights for the evening. Also rules aren’t enforced by a park official or anything unless you call the durham parks and rec dept. So sometimes people with young kids or aggressive dogs come to the park.

This is a great dog park. Has both grassy and non-grassy areas. Lots of shade. One of the good benefits is that all pet parents are attentive, so it is a good experience for dog and human alike.

Great place for dogs to meet dogs. Awesome people too.Safe.Clean.

I go to Camp Gladiator here @ 9:30 Mon./ Wed./ Fri. Perfect location. Perfect Trainer.

This park is great, much better than Millbrook Exchange Park in Raleigh. There is more shade, baby pools for the dogs, a sand box and shaded seating. Its smaller which is actually a lot nicer, the atmosphere is less intense than Millbrook and there seems to be fewer dog altercations and fights here.

Nice place to relax. And good for the PokémonGo gyms.

This park is fantastic! Great play area for kiddos with swings, slides and other “ninja” style climbing structures. (I don’t actually know what they are called, but they remind me of American ninja warrior, haha!)The park area is wonderfully shaded so it’s not hot in the summer and has a nice wooded area for playing too. Someone built a little lean to in on part of the woods and it’s been super fun to watch kids play in it!There is also a dog park, a picnic area and really nice bathrooms. Parking is great as well. Overall, our favorite park in the area!!

Great small, medium and big dog park. atmosphere is calm.The ground is sandy so it dries quick after a rain.

Shelter was clean, however the bathroom was in need of cleaning. No paper towel or trash bin. Did have soap dispenser and running water.

I really enjoy this park. This location has a very large dog park as well. If you want to have a birthday party, BBQ, cookout, etc, this is a great spot!

Very beautiful nature views. Love the dog parks as well.

Easy access, great amenities.

Great place for kids, even better place for dogs of all sizes. 3 different runsto chose from.

Fun & convenient playground for the kids to let off steam. Close to Perkins Orchard produce stand for a treat on the way home.

This dog park is perfect!! They have 3 enclosed areas for the dogs to run around with some transition areas for people to take off the leash or avoid dogs from escaping. They have a nice watering area with a kiddie pool for the water loving dogs.I would definitely recommend some bug spray but otherwise it so great!There are some bathrooms outside of the dog area that are nice as well as some nice open areas to play around!

Great park. Lots of shade. Nice playground and a nature area for playing. Shaded pick nick tables and benches.

Found this place on yelp while visiting N.C. .Park is large with different sections and different available activity spots. My kids wanted to play in the kids play area thats well kept up, the shaded area with the beautiful trees helps alot.They also have areas setup that will allow you to host bday parties or group events with perfect flat areas.The landscape around the park is well kept up and everything is green around here, compared to our parks back in s.cal.Very large park, well kept up, lots of shaded areas to sit and hang out, parking is decent, overall highly recommend it and would be back.

It is great place! My furry daughter loves it.

Plenty of room for the dogs to get a full speed run. Also like how is split into multiple areas.

Amazing park to bring young kids. Always a nice group of kids and parents after work or on the weekend. Husband and I bring the dog and the kids, and he goes to the dog park while I go to the playground.

Best Dog Park Ive been to. I have a Greyhound and loved the large exercise area which was separate from the main dog park. He could stretch out and run. There was an an area for small and large dogs as well as two other exercise areas. Also, in the large park, the base was sand and even though it had rained a couple of days ago, it wasnt muddy.

Lovely playground. The parents there were friendly. Good variety of structures to play on. Shaded.

The best dog park in Durham, with both large and small dog areas, as well as dedicated training areas. Ample parking and lots of space for dogs to drunk around.

One of the best dog parks Ive seen in Durham so far. My pups had so much fun.

Good parking lot. Well maintained facilities...

Best dog park Ive been to! Tons of space. Friendly dogs and owners.

Good place to bring your pup. People seem to be laid back unlike other dog parks (You know who you are, Karen)

Love bringing my dog here with so much space to run around and an isolation area for training and classes.

Dog park is nice. Some of the benches need maintenance.

Massive dog park with lots of space. Usually plenty of bags for dog waste and lots of water available. A good amount of trash cans and seating areas as well. People are friendly and seem to pick up after their dogs. Our favorite dog park in the Durham area so far.

Lots of trash issues. The dog park was a bit pretentious with their rules. Basically made for a good parking place while I jogged around Woodlake Trail.

Nice park with a playground and dog park. The playground is partially shaded which is great during the summer months.

Great park thats separated between dog size. Our dogs feel comfortable here and the park is kept fairly clean.

It was my first time here, I went with my friends. It was fun but it would be even perfect if it was cleaner

Everything was nice. The park and everything. But I would recomend some lights for the party area...

Very nice park, a fun place for people and dogs

Grandchildren had a good time here. There was a lot of activities for them to do.

Very large shelter and grassy area.

I went there with my children and their grandparents early on a chilly Saturday morning. The playground was lovely, and the kids adored it. The dog run nearby was a bonus, and the kids ogled the big dogs. The setting is nicely wooded and well maintained. Im sure it gets busier in warmer weather and later in the day, but even then it would be worth a visit.

GREAT dog park, take our dog here daily!

Plenty of shade, well maintained interesting structures. A little hard to see from the parking lot.

The dog park here is great. the community is so good to each other.

Nice little park and dog park. Natural area full of amateur fort-building.

This is a great park. There are a variety of things to play with, and the space appeals to kids up to age 12. The park is well maintained. I would like a bathroom with a changing table, though!

Tall trees surrounding the park provide shading

Great for dogs, lots of varied space to run

The kids found a nice cave..

Taylor and Tyler Nelson 10 yr.old Birthday party

The dog park area is very nice! There are separate sections for large and small dogs, and two additional enclosures for private play or off-leash training. It would be cool if they added some agility obstacles, too!

Nice and well maintained Playground with a lot of shade.

Great big dog park areas with plenty of room for our dogs to stretch their legs! Sections for both big dogs and small dogs.

Great neighborhood park in South Durham! Very clean and friendly. Ive only been here once but I will definitely be returning. Theres even a nice baseball field and plenty of open space!

Fun group of people and dogsBusy after work and weekends

My dog loves Piney Wood Park! Theres tons of room for him to run and its a great place to let off energy and meet new canine buddies!

Lots and lots of space very beautiful.

The Piney Wood Dog Park is great in so many ways! The dog owners are friendly and courteous. The large spaces with tree cover scattered around is refreshing and there are almost always many dogs there. My two corgis love it as I do.

Great shaded playground, and awesome dog park with several areas for different sized dogs. It is one of the largest around the area. There are also restrooms and a large covered picnic shelter. If you are a geocacher, there are a few here too!

Very nice park, clean, and well kept

Great dog park

Woof woof bark snuffle sniff lick lick lick!!!The dogs love their playtime here! Show up on a Sunday morning and you get to watch the local rescued greyhounds meetup playtime! Love to see them all romping!

Had a great time with family

Great park. Great playground. I dont own a dog, but this park has a great dog park and I really appreciate that its large and fenced so people are less likely to have their dogs off leash in the rest of the park (which is illegal).Good facilities like restrooms, picnic shelters, and a baseball field too.

Always lots of other dogs to play with. Owners are very respectful and if their dog gets out of hand, theyll promptly remove them to avoid issues.

Fun lil Playground

Piney Wood Park is great for Dogs and Kids. There is a large dog area and a small dog area, and both of them are huge. The large dog area extends along under the power lines for quite a ways - plenty of room for a dog to get up to top speed and get some energy out.The playground looks new and is very nice. There is plenty of parking in a couple of parking lots.

Nice wooded area for playing

Ok, I guess.

Great dog park, try to come by with my dogs as often as I can.
