Reviews
This is one of the best dog parks I have ever been to! We are traveling and ended up staying in Louisville. This park was less than a mile from our hotel so we decided to take our dog over to tire him out before the trip! Great walking path, lots of trees, plenty of water for the dogs, the other dogs were friendly, and so were the people! Great place, highly recommend!

One of the best. Also PSA BRING YOUR EMPTY Grocery bags and put them in the shed people!
I’ve gone to this dog park for over a year now. At all times of the day and week. My dog frickin loves this place, especially the ponds. It’s kept super clean and everyone is usually very very friendly.
The dogs, I’ve never had an issue with nor have I seen anything escalate into a serious issue. Its close by to Starbucks so I usually grab a coffee on the weekend and a pup cup on my way back home.
Definitely going to miss Tom Sawyer Dog Park and the pups.

I love this dog park! This is a very large park with plenty of space for your fur baby to roam. Tom Sawyer dog park has a separate area for dogs under 30 lbs as well as a larger side for all size dogs. There are multiple pet waste disposal areas throughout the park and water stations as well. On the “all dog” side of the park there is a large area that gets flooded and essentially turns into a pond after a good rain, most dogs seem to love to play in it! The park has a place to clean up your dog after possibly getting muddy if this happens… just bring a towel! Another great thing about this park is that there is ample seating for all the humans. There are chairs, multiple gazebos, and benches all throughout. Many of these are located in nice, shady areas. The gravel trail on the larger side is also mostly shaded and provides a nice scenic walk for you and your pet… I have even seen deer while on the trail… on the other side of the fence! Check this place out if you are a member, and remember to pick up after your pet!
