Located in the heart of Spotsylvania Courthouse, Spotsy Dog Park Inc. is a nonprofit, community-driven destination for local dog owners seeking a safe, friendly, and fun environment for their pups. The park features separated fenced-in areas for both large and small dogs, secure double-gated entries, and ample space for dogs to run off-leash and make new friends. Volunteers and local families help keep the park clean and stocked, making it a highly welcoming and maintained spot for regular visits.
Spotsy Dog Park goes above and beyond standard amenities: doggy toys, bowls, agility equipment, and waste bags are provided, though visitors are encouraged to bring or donate supplies. The park also offers water bowls, shaded spots, and seating for owners. Accessibility features include a wheelchair-friendly entrance and parking, making it a convenient choice for everyone. For those looking to integrate their pets slowly, a walking trail around the park perimeter provides the perfect introduction to dog-friendly hiking in the Spotsylvania area.
First time visit. Willow was happy she didn’t have to socialize with other dogs as there was no one there at the time, but the park is well taken care of and looks like fun. It was nice to let her off the leash without worrying that she may run away.
Amazing dog park! It’s nice and spacious, there are plenty of toys for dogs to play with. I enjoy the two door gate to make sure your dog and other dogs don’t escape. We love bringing our 6 month old Niko to this park and we love how friendly other dog owners are, especially when it comes to our puppy who loves attention!
Responding: Yes, you may!
I have been bringing my pup here for years. This park is amazing! This park is non profit, and fully funded by donations and operated by an amazing bunch of volunteers. If you have a puppy I strongly recommend you socialize them sooner than later. If you have an older dog there is a trail around the exterior of the park to slowly introduce your pup to the park. Highly recommend!
So much effort went into this park. Went today to check it out I was very impressed ! So happy to finally have a dog park! There are tons of toys for the dogs to play with balls, frisbees, agility equipment. They have water bowls and dog poop bags available. There’s two fields based on weight to separate the large and small dogs. Really excited to come back
Love this place!!!! It’s like the club for dogs. Most of the pups and super friendly and excited to see who’s arriving next. I’ve met the most wonderful families there, everyone is welcoming and kind. Toys and water are recommended for you to bring and or leave as donation to the cause. We are so glad we found this place.
