Hartselle Dog Park offers local pet owners in Hartselle, AL, a convenient and pet-friendly spot to let their dogs enjoy off-leash play. The park stands out for its beautiful natural shade, thanks to its mature trees, making it a comfortable dog-friendly destination even during warmer Alabama days. Visitors appreciate the friendly atmosphere, where dogs and owners can socialize alike. Accessibility is a priority in some aspects, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and accessible parking lot, though the path and parking are gravel, which may pose a challenge for some disability needs.
While the park is generally clean and includes useful amenities such as waste bags and trash receptacles, multiple reviewers noted that upkeep by visitors could be improved—it’s important for everyone to pick up after their pets to keep the space inviting. The park features shade and seating areas for owners to relax while their dogs play. This community dog park doesn’t require a fee or membership, making it an accessible spot for local dog lovers.
Shylo has been coming to Hartselle dog park for 4 years ,great people,sweet babies,needs restrooms lighting and driveway repair but it’s a great place to let fur babies run and play
The park looked clean but not maintenanced, it is not disability friendly for those in wheelchairs and walkers, the road to and the parking is all gravel, and the park itself was muddy so I couldn’t enjoy my husky running, it needs a cement path for the disabled
This is a really nice shaded dog park. I would have given 5 stars but can’t because of the amount of dog waste left by inconsiderate pet owners. Waste bags are provided, a receptical is convenient. Still lazy pet owners can’t be bothered cleaning up after their pets. Hartselle Parks Department, thank you for your efforts in providing a save place for us to run our pets.
No one and I mean no one picks up after their dog. You can’t walk for dog crap every where. And when it rains the sewage runs out on the small dog side. Nasty and not taken care of! I came here 4 times and it was always the same.
Well kept up dog park, trees for shade
