Westbrook Forest

To the west of Burlington is the bordering village of Elon, home to the Elon Dog Park. Also known as K-9 Corner at Beth Schmidt Park, the dog park was Alamance County’s first, and the closest to Burlington. Comprising one acre, this is a great place to bring your dog for unleashed fun in the fenced area.

Be aware that dogs must have visible evidence of a current rabies vaccination to enter the dog park.
