Dog walking in Prichard

Claremont

The southwestern Mobile neighborhood of Claremont is 12 miles from Prichard, and it's also home to the Julien Marx Dog Park! This four-acre bark park is a paradise for big and small dogs who can play in separate sections with dogs of similar sizes. There are also water fountains and waste disposal stations throughout the park. Julien Marx Dog Park is surrounded by a tall fence, and it has a double-gated entry system so you can take comfort in knowing your dog won't escape the park. Some visitors note that not only do a lot of dogs visit this park, but it also happens to be a popular spot for squirrels, too.

Washington Square

The Danielle Juzan Dog Park is only ten minutes south of Prichard, in the central Mobile neighborhood of Washington Square. This dog park opened in 2016 after volunteers and donors worked very hard to make it happen. Danielle Juzan Dog Park doesn't separate dogs by size; rather, dogs of all sizes and breeds play together in the same space, but there is plenty of room for everyone! This park is close to downtown, and it also features water, waste disposal items, seating, and trees. It's also near the Oakleigh Garden District, which is a lovely place to go for a walk on a leash after your time at the dog park.

Carlen

The Public Safety Memorial Park in the central Mobile neighborhood of Carlen is just a ten-minute drive from Prichard. This park was created to honor those who work in the public safety industries, including police and firefighters. Not only does this park have playgrounds, a skate park, pavilions, and lots of green space, but it also has an off-leash dog park! The Public Safety Memorial Dog Park includes big and small dog sections, and there are doggy water fountains as well as shaded seating areas where humans can relax and watch their pets play. Your dog is welcome in other areas of the park if they're on a leash.
