The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Johnston

Green Meadows West

Centrally located and convenient to everything, the Green Meadows West neighborhood is a great place to walk your pup along the sidewalks and bike trails. Meeting up with other furry pals at Lew Clarkson Park is a great option for a tail wagging good time frolicking in the grass and open areas. Follow the trail over to the Beaver Creek Greenbelt and jog with your pup while enjoying nature. Another excellent destination is the Terra Park on Pioneer Parkway that features trails you can stroll in the summertime, and cross-country skiing with your pooch in the winter.

Adventure Ridge Park

Strolling through the family friendly Adventure Ridge Park neighborhood is a great way to burn off some energy after a long day at work. Fido will always enjoy sniffing along the sidewalk looking for new and interesting smells. Joining your puppy pals at the Adventure Ridge Park is another way to get out and get exercise. The park covers 5-acres and offers a playground for the kids, and an open space where your pooch can play a game of fetch. If you want to explore nature, walk along one of the trails and enjoy the flowers and wildlife. Before heading home, stop off at the picnic shelter and share a snack with your pup and a cool drink of water.

Beaver Pines

Dog and family friendly, the Beaver Pines neighborhood is centrally located and close to shopping. Neighbors will often be found socializing at the end of their driveway while taking their pup out for a quick potty break. At the north end of the neighborhood, puppy parents are raving about the beautiful and peaceful Dewey Park. There is a wide-open space where Fido can run and romp, as well as 2 different playgrounds for your two-legged children. You can even plan a picnic and BBQ some hot dogs to enjoy an afternoon with the entire family and spend quality time with your pooch.

Adam Ridge

Well maintained yards and a family and pup friendly atmosphere make Adam Ridge one of the most popular neighborhoods in Johnston. Conveniently located not far from Johnston High School, it is easy to take Fido for a walk any time of the day or night. Providence Pointe Park is situated in the north part of the neighborhood, and offers plenty of space for your pup to run and play. Remember to bring her favorite toy for an energetic game of fetch in the field while the kids have fun on the playground. You will need to bring your own water bottles and poop bags to keep the park clean and fresh for all your puppy pals.

Grimes
