Greenbrier City Dog Park (Matthews Park)
Greenbrier City Dog Park, also known as Matthews Park, is a peaceful and spacious dog park featuring separate areas for small and large dogs. It includes a small wooded area on the large dog side, providing some natural shade and exploration opportunities. The park offers water fountains on both sides for dogs and is generally quiet and child-friendly. Visitors should note the presence of a gap in the fence on the large dog side that has been addressed with boards for safety, but caution is still advised. There is no mention of agility equipment, lighting, or covered shelters in the park.

If you haven’t been here you should definitely go..I take my lab here and she loves it because she gets to run and explore because it has some trees that is a small wooded area left in the large dog side.However be mindful that if you go after a rain water does collect and stand in the wooded area because of the lower lying area in that part of the fence on the large dog side.I also like that it has two sides one for large dogs and one for smaller dogs.If your dog is one to easily get away from you and an escape artist when youre not looking be careful on the large side on the far end from the entry gate b/c the fence has a gap between the bottom of the fence and ground.It was open when I first noticed it as I always do a walk around the perimeter first and then through the area just for safety reasons for my dog.They have since put boards in the gap to fill in but you still might wanna check to see if your own dog would escape through the spot.My lab doesnt seem interested in the gap at all but she is about 80 lbs so maybe she knows she couldnt slip through easily lol.Also you’ll need to bring water and bowl for your dog to drink as it doesn’t have a water faucet or fountain to get water for your dog.Its also never busy in the dog areas so when we go it’s quite and peaceful which we really enjoy
Update March 2025: They have pretty recently added in water fountains on both sides of the dog park.One on the large dog side and one on the small dog side.I’m really glad they added these before summer
Our pups love running around these parks. They sleep very well after 45 mins of playtime in the park.
