Reviews
I come here often to enjoy all of the amenities such as the dog park, playground and local paths. It’s a beautiful location and even cool with watching planes take off and land. You can rent the large sitting Area for events!
Nice, big park with a half decent skate park. Unfortunately you have more creative options and fun to be had at the nearby Sound Park, Enfield, and Fun Junktion to name a few which leaves you wondering how or why they dropped the ball here. It would be better if they added a rail, stair set, fun box, or something besides just this odd ramp to ledge design with a bowl behind it. The bowl would’ve also been infinitely more awesome if they had simply added a loop instead of just a tunnel to enter it. Over all, not a bad park but weak in comparison to the others.
… approximately 4 miles from downtown Elizabeth City near the Currituck Family YMCA…nice area to relax and let the pups run out some energy. Pond, Dog Park, Picnic Tables and areas for walking!
This is a really nice dog park and it’s well taken care of. There is a runway RIGHT next to the park, so you can watch small plans take off and land.
The only bad thing is there is NOT any water for your dog, so bring some with you if it’s hot outside.
This is a hidden treasure of a park- there is so much space! Lots of shaded areas as well as 2 fenced dog runs. One for small dogs & one for large dogs. There are 3 gazebos and LOTS of geese (not too much goose poo) and it’s nestled against a large pond. There is a grand kid playground with padded ground and a picnic area with picnic tables and a covered eating/socializing area. I have only gone to walk around my Yoshi pup and this was his last outing 😭 we lost him to a car about a week after I took these photos with him and my son. I miss him so badly but it is such a good place to make memories with your kids or fur babies. I’m at a loss but wanted to post these last photos I have of him. Rest peacefully my perfect fur baby Yoshi- I love you like no other!!!!
