Find a Dog Park

 

City of Raleigh Dog Park Study

In 2018, City staff met more than 4,000 people (and their pups!) at dog park events throughout the summer and 1,500 people shared ideas and opinions in the community survey. This feedback along with spatial data analysis and a review of nationwide trends in dog park planning, is informing the long-range plan that will guide the development of dog parks in Raleigh for years to come.

Please visit the Dog Park Study public input page to view the final document approved by City Council in 2019 and add your comments. A summary of the Dog Park Study below highlights key findings from the 2018 outreach and research.
