Soft Gold Dog Park
Soft Gold Dog Park is a spacious, fenced park perfect for dogs to run and socialize. It is part of a larger park area with amenities like restrooms, a shelter, picnic tables, and a bike trail for kids and adults. The park features a large grassy area for dogs but lacks shade and direct water access at the dog area itself. The location is wheelchair accessible with parking near restrooms, though the dog park is located some distance from the parking lot and can be a lengthy walk for some. The park is a tranquil spot that is not often crowded and offers a pleasant natural setting with trails nearby.

This is a hidden gem. A person would probably never just stumble across it. It is tucked back at the end of Hickory. The park as a whole is nice. It has great natural scenery and easy access to the trails on the north side of the river.
The dog park itself is large and has plenty of room for the dogs to run. All the owners I have met have been very friendly. It is a nice place to hang out, let the dogs play, and socialize.
We had never been here before. Super Nice kids playground and restrooms by parking area, therefore one star. There was NO signage or map regarding location of dog park, and at first we thought we must’ve misread the description…? But no. We finally found the fenced area far to the northeast – seriously at least a qtr mile north of parking. This was WAY too much of a walk for our 13 yr old dog, a LONG way to get back if a human needs a restroom or has any kind of issue – plus once there, no shade, no water available. Lots of bags supplied, but no other dogs were even there. Now we know WHY, and this inaccessibility also negates the social aspect for dogs. You can’t even SEE the parking lot from the dog park, being so far away, plus visually blocked by the building. A few homeless guys hanging around the park weren’t doing any harm, but I wouldn’t want to be out there all alone, just the same. No one would be likely to be near enough to hear or help you if there was a problem of any kind. Beautiful area though – just be aware and prepared.
This dog park is one large fenced grassy area for all dogs to play in together. There are plenty of dog bags around the perimeter of the fence and a couple of garbage cans as well. No shade or water spigot, but 2 picnic tables available. The dog park is part of a larger park with a volleyball court, baseball field, walking path and natural area, and more. A walk is required to get to the dog park which is on the north side of the park. There’s parking in the lot near the bathrooms, or maybe you could park on a nearby street in the trailer park. Plenty of mosquitoes are out biting this morning, late June. My dog and I were here on a weekday morning, and we were the only ones here.
This dog park almost wants to make me own a dog! Fenced area is very large, huge actually.
While I was walking past there was only one person there with 2 dogs on a Sunday afternoon so probably doesn’t get crowded.
Given the surrounding area you can make a whole day with your 4 legged friend. Enjoy!
Awesome little bicycle dirt track for the kids to ride on, jumps are not huge, but still fun for adults as well. Definitely recommend, gated dog park, a good size park with a shelter and BBQ, restrooms, water fou tain and pond for fishing, a trail to get to the poured river as well, great trails for biking, walking, etc.
