Dog walking in Cynthiana

Griffin Gate

There's another dog park in Lexington that you won't want to miss, and this one is found in the neighborhood of Griffin Gate. It's located in northern Lexington, and the Coldstream Dog Park is less than 30 miles from Cynthiana. Many visitors say this is their favorite dog park in the area, and it sits on a generous 12-acre section of land. The park is divided into sections for big and small dogs, and the grass in the middle is left unmowed so dogs can explore the brush. Within the dog park, there are water faucets and bowls, as well as waste disposal supplies and seating areas.

Open Gates

Open Gates is a neighborhood in southwestern Lexington that's home to more than 1,500 people. It's a little more than 30 miles from Cynthiana, and this area is also near the Wellington Dog Park. This 3.4-acre off-leash park has a space for big dogs and a section for small dogs, and the park is designed to look like a horse farm. Whether your dog is racing up and down the park's rolling hills or getting a good sniff of the many trees, they're sure to have fun. There's a water fountain outside of the off-leash area, so you may want to bring a bowl to fill up and bring into the park with you.

Andover Hills

Another one of Lexington's furrific dog parks can be found near the south-central neighborhood known as Andover Hills. It's about a 40-mile drive from Cynthiana, and the Jacobson Dog Park is well worth the trip. Jacobson Dog Park opened many years ago, but it underwent a major renovation in 2014, and it now occupies eight acres of land. That space is divided into sections for big and small dogs, and there are also double-gated entryways to the park. You'll find a water spout and bowls at the park, as well as waste disposal supplies, and plenty of shade provided by mature trees.

Woodford Village

In under an hour, you and your dog can drive to western Versailles, Kentucky and arrive at the Falling Springs Center Recreational Area. Within this park, you'll find a state-of-the-art recreation center, sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, and barns, as well as an off-leash dog park. The Woodford County Dog Park has areas designated for big or small dogs, and there's a water hose and bowls to provide a hydration station for dogs. There are seating areas for pet parents as well as waste disposal supplies, but this dog park doesn't have agility equipment. Your dog can join you in many other outdoor areas of the main park, including on the trails, when they're on a leash.

East Frankfort

Frankfort is a city in Kentucky that's home to more than 25,000 people, and the eastern quadrant of the city is just over 30 miles from Cynthiana. In this area, you'll find the East Frankfort Bark Park. There's so much to love about this off-leash park, including one section with open fields pawfect for a game of fetch, and another enclosed wooded area with a creek running through it. You'll also find a selection of agility equipment if your dog wants to show off their special skills, and the park has water fountains, waste disposal supplies, and seating areas, too!
