Dog walking in Greenville

Central Greenville

Central Greenville is the downtown area of the city that rests along the shore of Lake Mississippi. Bryan Park is a favorite spot for dog walkers, thanks to its green area, tall oak trees, and room to run around and play. Features of the park include a fenced-in baseball park that is dog-friendly, basketball courts, a playground, and a picnic pavilion. Archer Park is on the north side of the community and has a nice small space to run around and let Fido stretch his legs. The park is encompassed by a paved walkway, with a playground and basketball courts. Both parks have benches, trash bins, and water fountains.

Midtown

Midtown is a large neighborhood, mixed with residential homes and scattered trees. The largest park in the area is Emmet Hart Park that provides a lot to park goers and dog walkers. Enjoy grassy terrain, shaded sitting areas, paved walkways, and an abundance of space to play and run around in within the 15 acres of land taken up by the park. Dogs can play, walk or enjoy features like a basketball court, a playground, a fenced-in and dog-friendly baseball field, a gazebo, swingsets, and picnic tables. Leash up Fido before coming to the park, and enjoy access to additional amenities like water fountains, trash bins, clean-up stations, and benches.

East Greenville

East Greenville is on the east side of town, and filled with rows of residential homes. Right on the edge of the neighborhood is Gray Park that is anything but gray. The area is vibrant with grassy terrain and healthy trees. There are forested trails, open space, and a picnic area for park goers to enjoy. Dogs do not have to be on a leash inside this park, but you will have to bring water and clean-up bags. The Elwyn Ward Recreational Center is another park in the community that has 7 different baseball fields that are fenced-in, surrounded by open space, restrooms, a playground, tennis courts, and a picnic pavilion. Dogs have to remain on a leash inside the center, but will have access to water fountains, benches, and nighttime lights.

Metcalfe

Metcalfe is a small town with only one neighborhood, but still gets a lot of business. The town is 6 miles north of Greenville and welcomes so many visitors thanks to the Winterville Mounds. The Winterville Mounds is a dog-friendly area to bring Fido that provides plenty of excitement for pups and humans. There are open areas, paved and dirt walkways that wind through the park, forested trails, picnic areas, and a pond for fishing. The area is very lively and usually has lots of other dogs and people, but still requires for pups to stay on a leash at all times. Amenities include water fountains, benches, and trash bins.

Leland

Eight Miles east of Greenville is the small town of Leland. The city is known for Leland Town Park, thanks to its urban features and open space. The park has three fenced-in baseball fields, basketball courts, a pavilion for picnics, and playground. Leash up Fido before coming to the park and enjoy a place to run around and play in the open fields, baseball fields, or enjoy a walk along the crushed stone trail that is in the park. Additional features in the park include water fountains, a clean-up station in the parking area, benches, picnic tables, and trash bins.
