I love this park if your traveling with pets great place to stop. Not far off the highway, gives dogs room to stretch out. Several different fenced areas, so if your pup likes alone time youll find room for him. The local people were so kind. Area is full of shade for dogs, so Im sure bugs could be rough on damp days. You might need a jacket on cool days, but the dogs love it... There is a water station and serveral buckets. We travel a lot this is one of best dog parks I have been too.

I take my dog to Carolina Pines almost every day and he loves it! The large dog park is so big, he loves running around and sniffing every inch. I like that there are three sections of the park: one for small dogs, one for medium dogs, and one for big dogs. The park has lots of trees which means lots of shade in the summer! There are also lots of picnic tables and chairs to sit at. My only complaint would be there is not regular maintenance work done. There are often some overgrown areas and tree limbs on the ground. It also gets muddy very easily especially after it rains.

Beautiful dog park thats spacious and shaded. There are three separate dog areas, which is perfect for small or shy dogs to have their own space. Theres picnic benches to sit on, dog bags, and water for your pups! Its the best dog park Ive been to so far in the area.

Lots of space for your four legged friends to roam around. Lots of shade, piped in water, nice community, restrooms nearby, and lots of parking.

Love the openness of this park and how shady it is throughout. Just be aware that not every GPS will take you to the exact location of this park. Its towards the back, behind the baseball fields. Everyone I met was always friendly, and most watched their dogs closely. There are pools for the dogs, buckets of water for them to drink from, and potty bags all around. Theres also a separate section for smaller dogs. Plenty of seating for you to enjoy while your dog socializes.

This dog park has 2 fenced areas. 1 small for small dogs & 1 big for the big dogs. Lots of trees available for tinkling on too! Actually I think the trees should be thinned out some!

We love this dog park! The park is massive, with lots of space for your pups to run and play. There’s almost always a good sized crowd and the space is always clean. There are poopy stations with trash bags and cans & buckets of water for hydration.

Very large dog park! Great water area as well. Enjoy!

Awesome dog park with friendly owners. Its separated into 3 fenced areas - one for small dogs, one for large dogs, and one thats not labeled. Be aware that while the area is handicapped accessible the ground is natural cover and slopes away from the entrance so you probably should avoid it in a wheelchair unless you have somebody to push you back out

This park is shady, large and pretty popular. Cant really go wrong here if you live in the Lake Wheeler area.

Great safe spot to let the pup run around. Its clean and not terribly crowded.

I love it. Has 3 separate areas. 1 huge! Area and 1 smaller and then 1 a bit smaller for small dogs. There are trees, water, and bags for the number 2s. My baby girl loved it.

Great park, every once in a while you get an owner who wont pick up, or that will not pay attention to his/ her dog, but thats like in every park

I dont know about review. I just wanted to share our cute dogs pics. We had a great time though.

Very nice wooded dog park. Shady and natural, very relaxing. There are three areas for dogs, big dogs, small and I guess just special dogs? When we were there the dogs and people were all very friendly. Other areas are available of your dog needs a little less stimulation. Probably or go to dog park even its a bit more of a drive.

Usually a good amount of other dogs here to play with. Great shaded area for days its hot or really Sunny

Park is off Lake Wheeler Rd. Its Free. Three area. One smalldogs lot, one for throwing balls without distraction. One large lotfor 50lb or higher. Lots of tree If your dog likes to fight. Stay away.

Park is okay. But there isnt enough sunshine getting through so its too cold. Its kind of humid too. Maybe for summer its great!

Carolina Pines Dog Park is a large, mostly mulch covered dog park. Theres some chairs and a picnic table for sitting. Lots of trees provide shade on sunny days but in warm weather bring bug spray.

One of the better parks in the area. For the most part people are good about their dogs.I did have to forcefully remove a dog off of mine one time. The own tried to reprimand me about putting my hands on her pet. I simply explained that if she was paying attention to her dog instead of being in the corner on the phone she would have noticed this to begin with, and would have been able to help when I was asking whose dog is this.

Our dog loves the dog park! Always clean and plenty of room to roam around.

Nice and really big dog park took my shy puppy to try and get her socialized and none of the other dogs there were mean. All seemed to be relaxed as well as the owners seemed attentive to their dogs. There are poop bags+trash cans and even two little swimming pools that dogs can play around in (my pups favorite part)

Friendly dogs and people. Nice trees and shade. No grass at all. Water available.

Always a bunch of dogs here, great for tiring your pup! Well maintained and wide open. There is plenty of seating in the park as well. Only knock is that some areas can get really muddy.

Really expansive and better than the other smaller dog parks around but the dogs can be pretty rowdy if you go at a weird time. plenty of toys and balls to find on the ground, a working water spout, some benches

Great park for my dogs, they had good time,,,

Love to walk the dog here especially when there are not many people or pooches around. Some are a bit rambunctious for my senior dog.

Shady in the summer with a water source and over an acre of land.

I really enjoy taking my dog to this park until a few days ago when he was attacked by another dog. This is the second time the same dog tried to attack my dog and other dogs for that matter. The guy who owned the dog didn’t even try to break it up nor give any apologies. If you go and see a large white dog that is not neutered and his owner, a tall bald black guy, don’t go!!!!!

I enjoy taking my cockapoo to Carolina Pines Dog Park. This is a very large dog park with three separate sections. It is fairly well maintained and the people that visit the park seem friendly and attentive to their dogs. There is plenty of parking here. There are bags and tennis balls available here to use. There is also a water spout and plenty of buckets. I recommend this dog park.

Great place for a healthy dog pooping session.

Nice and spacious dog park. A little hard to find (for me at least) but it is all the way on the left. Lots of room for the dogs to run and play. The park could be maintained a little better but overall still a nice dog park. It was my butter balls first time at the park. Nice dogs and nice people. Would recommend.

Best dog park, absolutely huge, decent seating (for a dog park), mostly in the shade, even a doggie pool for the hot months. Almost never any serious dog fights that Ive witnessed, most of the owners are watching their dogs. Bugs get terrible in the summer because of the tree coverage, but thats just NC

Nice dog park. Lots of shade and seating options. Might have just caught it on an off day but we were visiting from NJ and the vibe here was really different than the dog parks Ive been to at home. Most owners werent really paying much attention to their dogs. A young dog my dog was playing with got bit by another dog that had been wearing a muzzle. Im not sure why youd even bring a dog like that to a dog park. Then another dog chased the young dog and was circling and lunging at it and its owner. She had to lift it on a table to get it away and no one could figure out whose dog it was for a few minutes. There were also 2 older dogs lying under a table that were snapping at any dog that got near them and another dog that seemed aggressive with anyone trying to play fetch. We didnt hang around too long because my dog seemed a bit intimidated and wasnt really playing after the bite incident. It might just have been a bad mix of personalities that day but it spoiled what was otherwise a lovely dog park for us.

A good size dog park with plenty of shade. The people I’ve met here have been very friendly so far. There is a spicket for water and an agility “ladder” (?) you can have your dog walk up and down. Plenty of space if you wanted to walk to the other end and have some alone time or enjoy the smaller area attached to the larger section if your dog doesn’t get along quite as well. Best dog park I have found so far in the Raleigh area!

Huge dog park with a small dog and large dog option for your furry friend. Always nice people and a lot of friendly dogs!

Great place for the dogs to run and socialize - shaded - separate areas for smaller dogs if desired. Seating, water buckets, balls, plastic wading pools, poop bags provided.

Lots of shade and friendly dogs. Theres a water source to refill dog bowls with fresh water and some dogs like to splash around in it

Love this park.. Great area for dogs to run off leash..

A small and cozy fenced in dog park. Everyone Ive met there is pleasant and watches over their dogs. They have bins for poop/trash, water, a faucet and benches! There is a large area for most dogs and a smaller one for smaller dogs.

Great quite and relaxing place to go very early in morning.

Take my pups here alllll the time. Great community and great park for your pups! Take your dogs here. Even have a park for smaller dogs.

Nice place for dog fun. Crowd was friendly.

I always enjoy going here. The park is kept clean and there is more than enough space for dogs to run and have fun.

Great dog park! Lots of space for dogs to run around! Shaded by trees. Lots of balls in case you forgot to bring your own. Benches to sit on while you wait for your pup. Includes a small dog park section too if you don’t want you small breed pooch to get trampled on. Small plastic pool and water filling stations for you thirsty pup. Parking lot is kinda small, but had no problem finding a spot. Great find!

@Anna Taylor so sorry! Red Jeep? Pulled up after the police were already there. Eye opening for me. Even before I kept a vigilante eye on parking lot. Will stay more watchful. Sure it feels violating. Hopefully nothing unrecoverable was lost. Great shady park, lots of space, balls and sticks a plenty. This is only for dog park.

Plenty of space for the dogs, and nice large dog bags with handles in the large dog area!(As the owner of a Great Dane, this means I only have to use one bag and not two - so that detail is genuinely appreciated)

This was my first time coming here for a baseball game and it was a great location and great for a picnic with the family while watching a game. It is also very pet friendly. The park is kind of secluded in a neighborhood and slightly hard to find using the GPS but if you just follow the main Street and the signs you will find your way. Plan to visit again.

I love this dog park. It’s a nice mix of younger and older people, but everyone watches their dogs so there’s no ugly scuffles. Unless it’s been recently mulched, it can get a little muddy when it rains, but just remember to bring a towel! There’s tons of water buckets around too & a water filling station. Doggy bags are provided for cleaning up after your sweet little stinker too. Great park, I take my little one as often as I can.

The dog owners Ive met so far have been pretty nice. I didnt have any issues with other dogs trying to attack my Lab. Even if that was the case, there are multiple enclosed areas to take your . There is a water pump available for fresh water. Beautiful, calming area.

Good park. I go almost daily. I wish the tall grass in back could be mowed and the mulch better distributed. But otherwise fine.

Great park just remember the mosquito repellent.

Lots of space for running the pups!

My favorite park to come to! Never had an issue with other dogs and theres plenty of shade on hot days. Im not a fan of how small the small dog area is. But thats with every park. So I bring my little fur baby in with the big dogs and hope for the best!

Great park for dogs to explore nature and socialize. Enjoy the atmosphere, kind people, and plenty of space. There are closed off areas too, so that you can give your dog some time to calm his/her excitement before joining the big group.

Wonderful park for dogs. I am new in town, so pleasantly surprised.

Was there Me & Hubby on 8/3/19 nice park

5pm on a Monday. There were enough dogs there for our shy puppy to be involved without having to be too far from his puppy parents and still have some alone time. The hour we were there, all of the owners picked up after the dogs, and were active if their dog was dominating another. Will be going back.

I wish I could give this an outstanding rating, but your visit here will be only as good as the the number of informed & responsible dog owners that are visiting at the same time. Be very careful also about keeping an eye on your car at ALL times. Break-ins occur in broad daylight w lots of people in the park. Never go close to or after dusk - lots of prophylactic items on ground that are health hazards & choking hazard for you & your dog.

Good place to take your dog

First time to park. The facilities were clean, but no water in the bathrooms by baseball diamond. They did have hand sanitizer. The bathrooms in recreational facilities were clean and functional. Small dog area of dog park was clean,did not go in big dog side but folks seemed to be having a good time. I think it is a nice little neighborhood park. They have volleyball and tennis courts as well.

Nice park and my dogs enjoyed the woodsy area to explore, but there were too many dogs on the day we went and most of the owners werent attentive. After the third dog fight we left. I would go back on a day that wasnt as popular and try again.

I loved bringing my pup to this place. All of the owners are sooo friendly & sweet. however, my car was broken into. back door smashed in (tried the front window, didnt work out for them) & stole my wallet. this was midday like 3o clock, and i was parked right by the dog park & in sight. then people told me this happens all the time... in broad daylight & no one ever sees/hears them b/c everyone is focused on their dogs. they are experts at this. the park is great, but the local crime is definitely not.

Place is awesome when I have the time to go. Peanut, a Pitt/Lab mix, loves it and has been going there since 10 weeks old. Like minded dog lovers with sweet dogs.

Great roomy park with plenty of seating and water bowls. Its a popular spot so there is always other dogs to play with. My dog and I go a few times a week and we both enjoy it.

Very spacious. 2 sections fenced off. Plenty of room to play. Several chairs and tables for humans. The ground is mostly dirt so water puddles after rain and its hard to keep the pups out of it. Good park overall.

This dog park is shady, so its the best choice for hot days. After any rain, youre almost guaranteed to find mud holes, enjoyment of that may vary.

Close, convenient, well managed, wooded. We and our three dogs always enjoy our visits.

Nice park. There for an event. Very clean and well kept except for the bathrooms and the grass couldve used some cutting.

Dont recommend for small dogs. Look like their focus was not on them. Ashame

Lots of bugs in the summer so wear repellent. But a huge area for the larger dogs. Small and medium parts are very tiny.

In general I like this dog park. Theres tons of space for the pups to run, lots of trees which offer shade, and separated big and little dog sections. The park is close to state though, so all the students bring their dogs here and arent the most attentive or careful.

I was super excited to try this place out with my pup as soon as she was fully vaccinated! Got there and it was nothing but mud and scattered nasty dog toys. Buckets were sitting around filled with water for dogs. It wasnt pleasant. Ill try again in a bit to see if it improves.

This is a great dog park for dogs big and small old and young. Theres one large main dog park and then to medium size smaller fenced-off dog park areas for dogs who may be on as well socialized or who or if you just dont want your dog out in the big dog park. In the main Dog Park area there is a spicket to fill water buckets and there are plenty of balls and toys lying around so you dont need to bring your own but you can if you want to. Theres also a small plastic pool which you can fill up with water if your dog likes to play in pools which mine do. Plenty of seats and benches all over the dog park. There are several posts in the dog park that have doggie bags and there are well-marked trash cans just outside the fence.

The dog park itself is great. As for the people, you get some cool people and some not so great people. One time there was almost a fight because one man started getting feisty about another mans dog because it played rough, although his own dogs were engaging too. Thoroughly unnecessary. People there can get overprotective sometimes and split up dogs when theyre play growling, which is annoying to me. Luckily my dog doesnt play rough so it didnt impact us much.

Nice large dog park. Section for small dogs as well. Buckets and water spigot available as well as a kiddie pool and some obstacles. Some seating for owners as well.

Good dog park. Mostly well cared for. Water and seating available. Very shady and comfortable.

Lots of space and always friendly people to talk to havent found a dog park yet that I prefer

My wife and I often take our dog here! This is a nice little park with plenty of things to do for dogs! There are even three different sectioned areas if you want your dog to be separated from the main area!

Great place to take your dog!! 3 separate sections to the fence so small and larger dogs can be separated

This is awesome for letting your pup out for a run. There is water onsite so you dont have to bring with & separate areas for big dogs & small ones. Might want to bring some bug spray if mosquitoes love you.

Great space for running! Love the big/small dog separation, wish everyone would respect it. Lots of place for poop disposal, wish everyone used it

Very rarely have a bad experience here. Just a nice spot for dogs to roam and play!

My dog and I love Carolina Pines! We have been going for years. It is a little tough to find the dog park the first time you turn into park property. Go past all the athletic fields

Good baseball fields, tennis courts, and dog park.

Its a little nice park.

Really great place to take your dog. Tree covered and lots of room to run.

Five stars for the shade of the pine trees, and especially for the 5 foot fence (many parks have 4 foot fences, which my dog can scale).

This is a decent dog park. I just wish theyd keep the dog waste bags stocked better, there are never any when we go on the weekends.

Great park, clean, plenty of room for dogs to run and play

A large, beautiful Park in a natural setting. We stopped here to let our girl stretch after a 5 hour car ride. The other dogs and people could not have been nicer.

Lots of room for the dogs to run.

Weve been bringing our r dogs here for a few years. There is plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Most of the owners are laid back and not overreactive. There are two smaller areas gated off for older, younger and antisocial dogs.

The park itself is large and gorgeous. But, 90% of the time I go, I have to leave because theres a dog attacking my pit bull. Yes, my vicious pit bull gets pinned and roughed up by some dog just about every time I go. She is spayed. Why do people bring their dogs to a public place if they know their dogs are capable of that behavior? Very irresponsible dog owners. I wont be back to this park again.

Best dog park that we have been to.

The dog park was very nice but unfortunately some of the dogs were not well suited for a dog park.

Maybe it was just an off-day, but there were no small dogs, and one of the large dogs was aggressive 4 times (with other peoples dogs) before it was taken out. Rules clearly state dogs are to be removed at first sign of aggression, but no one seemed to take issue.

Filthy dog park infested with mosquitos. Chairs are old and worn, definitely NOT reccomended!!

Definitely large enough, ample fresh water, lots of decent dogs and owners, very few stray poops. Two seperate areas for small or shy dogs. Gets hectic during evenings and weekends. Bring used shopping bags to restock poop bag stations.

Not maintained well but it is free. Nice that they have separate areas for small and large dogs. I like seeing dog parks being implemented but they dont get the proper attention.
