North Garner Dog Park offers a welcoming space for local dog owners seeking a clean and well-maintained area for their pets to play. Conveniently located just off E Garner Rd, this dog park boasts easy wheelchair-accessible entry and parking, making it accessible to all visitors. The park features a single, spacious fenced area where dogs can socialize and exercise off-leash, surrounded by miles of pet-friendly trails perfect for dog-friendly hiking or leisurely strolls.
Visitors appreciate the tidy environment, abundant open space for active dogs, and the availability of seating and picnic tables. Essentials like poo bags and trash bins are provided, and there’s typically a small water bowl with fresh water for your pup—though bringing your own is recommended in case the water isn’t running. With interactive playground structures and a nearby playground for kids, North Garner Dog Park is an excellent pick for families looking for a fun, dog-friendly outing in Wake County.
Dog park is kinda small and at times you and your dog may be the only two there. There are still “regulars” that go around lunch and after work. This is my favorite park because it’s not too big and there are miles of beautiful trails in the woods.
There’s only one area (it’s not split into large and small parjs). It was clean and the space was good sized. The water wasn’t working. Someone else mentioned it might not have been turned on yet. You might want to bring your own water.
Super clean and ice cold water for the pups! Poo bags and trash cans too! A few playground-like structures for interactive play too! My pup loved all the space to get his zoomies out!
Great little dog park, very well kept. Not as large as some of the other dog parks in Wake county, but still really nice!
Hands down my favorite dog park I have ever visited! I can actually throw the chuck-it as far as I can; and I still have plenty of room before it would go over the fence. Not super busy either. Love there is a small water bowl with fresh water; easy to clean up after the yorkie plays in the water bowl.
Highly recommend!
