The Whitewater Center Off Leash dog park is a popular, pet-friendly destination in Charlotte, North Carolina, offering expansive grounds for dogs to roam freely. Surrounded by beautiful trails, ponds, and wooded areas, this well-maintained off-leash park gives your pup plenty of space to socialize, run, swim, and even hike alongside you. Dog owners can relax and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere, with amenities such as restrooms and an on-site facility selling beer, wine, and light snacks, making socializing with fellow pet lovers a breeze.n
The park’s unique blend of open spaces, forested trails, and swimming ponds make it a standout choice for those seeking an active outdoor experience with their dog. It’s renowned for its cleanliness, helpful staff, and the opportunity for dogs to truly “empty their energy tanks.” Please note there is an admission cost (daily passes available) and separate parking fee. Whether your dog loves splashing in water or just wandering trails off-leash, this park is a must-visit for Charlotte-area pet owners looking for adventure and socialization in a safe, scenic environment.nn
This is a great spot to take your dogs, especially since the dog water park in Kannapolis closed.
My dog loved the trail and the lake.
I just wish the NULL parking fee covered them doing a better job taking care of the road/parking lot. It needs to be graded and packed better.
Also, there were almost 0 signs giving directions to the dog park. The snack options were limited.
Most beautiful park. The lake is amazing. The puppies love to swim there. It’s so relaxing to see all dogs and parents getting along and having fun. The staff is really helpful.
We love this place!! Beautiful, well maintained trails and the perfect place to let your pups really empty thier energy tanks. I am a first time, GSP mom, and this place is one of the few activities we can do to actually tucker out my boy Arlo. And my lab mix Austen Absolutely loves all the ponds to swim in 🩵🩷💛
I recently visited this off-leash dog park with my furry friend, and we had a fantastic time! The park’s spacious grounds and multiple play areas allowed my dog to run around and socialize with other dogs.
The park’s ponds and trails added an extra layer of excitement for my pup. However, the NULL total cost for parking and admission might be a bit steep for some pet owners.
Despite the price, the park’s cleanliness and well-maintained facilities made for a pleasant experience. If you’re looking for a fun off-leash dog park and don’t mind the cost, this one is worth checking out.
Great spot for dog owners to allow their pups to run free and wild. All with a beer in hand (if you so choose). A very impressive setup that allows dogs of all sizes to run, swim, smell, and wander about off-leash. It’s a great mixing spot for dog owners as well. It’s only NULL/dog for a daily pass. Surprisingly, with as many dogs that were there on a Saturday they all seemed to get along; most owners seemed quite courteous and watchful of their dogs as well. Parking is a 2 minute drive further from the main parking area and there’s a facility with bathrooms as well as beer/wine and light snacks.
