Amber is super kind and gracious. Very responsive and thorough. You can tell she loves dogs. Would be more than comfortable having her as a dog care person again.

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Birmingham

Five Points South

Railroad Park is an urban green space that covers 8 blocks and 19 acres in the Five Points South neighborhood of central Birmingham. Dogs and owners will enjoy Rail Trail, a spacious path that winds around a large lake, quiet streams, and bio-filtration marshes. Athletic and energetic breeds will love a game of frisbee on the 9-acre open lawn. If you and your fur-baby are in need of a little R&R, perhaps an afternoon nap under one of the property's 600 trees is more your speed. Be sure to take plenty of water, a leash, and doggie waste bags. Railroad Park is dedicated to remaining an eco-friendly, environmentally sound playground for humans and canines alike.

Oxmoor

Boasting its title as the largest dog park in Alabama, Remy's Dog Park in the southernmost district of Birmingham is the perfect spot for a mutt-and-greet! When you first visit, you'll understand why owners breathe a sigh of relief and quietly thank the gods of city planning. Adventurous park goers can enjoy 15 miles of trails on the main campus of Red Mountain Park, on which the dog park is located. The doggie play area is divided into sections: large dogs, 0.7 acres for small dogs, and 0.3 acres for special needs dogs. It also conveniently features pet waste stations and shaded areas with benches for dog moms and dads to relax and admire their four-legged progeny.

Highland Park

The oldest neighborhood in Birmingham also happens to be one of the safest. Just two miles south of downtown, Rhodes Park offers 88 acres of public land to families of all shapes, sizes, and species. Observe the changing oak leaves in the fall and the tall pine trees kissing the sky in the springtime. This clean and quiet space is leash-on and waste pickup regulated. It's pawsitively the perfect place for a Saturday play date. Burgeoning young entrepreneurs, take note! There's plenty of room for more than one dog-walking business here, and judging by the number of young professionals living in the area, plenty of pups that need walking!

South Eastlake

Ruff! Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve sounds like it was made for dogs, doesn't it? In reality it was made for people and dogs are permitted, but it seems most dogs are in denial of this 'impawsible truth', so we won't ruin it for them. The preserve is located on the northwest side of town and features 14 miles of trails running through the over 1,000 acre property. In efforts to maintain the pristine and historic nature of the park, the Ruffner Mountain Coalition asks that you leave the grounds as you found them, by keeping your pets on-leash and not disturbing the remnants of 19th-century iron ore mines.

Southside

If your pup is looking for an excuse to impress the ladies with his spiffy, new bandana and you happen to have just run out of organic kale, The Market at Pepper Place is sure to make you both happy. Meet other dogs (and humans) while perusing the finest selection of homegrown goods, crafts, and produce. Located in the trendy Southside district of downtown Birmingham, this lively farmer's market is the nose-bumping, tail-wagging, weekend event of the season, running April through December. Pick up a pack of Blind Dog Biscuits and stop at Railroad Park, just a few blocks away, on the way to your next adventure.
