The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Wilmington

Greenfield Lake Estates

Downtown Wilmington is a dynamic neighborhood that features an eclectic mix of locally owned shops, trendy bistros, comfortable pubs and some late-night clubs. Just a couple of miles from downtown is the Greenfield Lake Park. Featuring a flat 4-mile walking path that weaves around the lake, it is just right for a pawsome leashed stroll in the early morning or after work. The 250-acre outdoor space will keep you surrounded by nature’s beauty throughout your walk. Not far away is Von Barkee’s Dog Spa and Bakery. Not only does Von Barkee’s provide the ultimate in pet paw-m-pering, they’ll even make up a batch of special dog treats for your good buddy. Near the park is Satellite Bar and Lounge where you and Fido are welcome inside and out while enjoying local brews and food truck selections, or live Bluegrass music on Sundays. If you’re feeling hungry for a good steak, try eating outside at Aubrianna’s with your leashed pup. If you are in the mood for pizza, Fat Ton’s Italian Pizza can fulfill your deepest pie craving while dining outdoors with your well-behaved and leashed pup.

Oleander

Oleander is a charming and well-maintained dog-friendly neighborhood that is home to Empie Park. The park features a paved trail around the park, a playground, varied sports facilities, and a dog park. Wilmington Dog Park is the first off-leash dog park established in the city, and is part of a 2-acre site of unused land within Empie Park. The dog park is completely fenced with two play areas, one for large dogs and another for dogs under 20 pounds, and provides water, pet waste stations, and lots of shade. The rules of pet-iquette are posted clearly, making it easy for everyone to have a dog-tastic day. If you are looking forward to a meal accompanied by your leashed and well-behaved fur baby, consider checking out the Fish House Grill for some delicious alfresco dining with a great view of the Wrightsville Beach Drawbridge and bay. Tandoori Bites features Indian cuisine, and has a curry ready for you in the outdoor eating area where your pup is welcome. Feeling like Pizza? Mellow Mushroom welcomes you and your pup in the outdoor dining area to enjoy a slice. Both Tandoori Bites and Mellow Mushroon request that your dog is leashed and well-behaved to join you.

Seagate

This peaceful and historic neighborhood is located near the inlet, and the New Hanover County Arboretum. The Arboretum is one of the most beautiful and tranquil locations in southeastern North Carolina, offering views of lush landscapes, flowering plants and bushes, lawns, and colorful water features that create an inviting place for people and their leashed companions. Paved walkways will lead you past a lush rose garden and a Japanese garden, complete with a tea house and winding stream. Follow the path to the picnic area and magical children's garden with a miniature cottage. The gardens are open from 8-8 daily and are free. Enjoy a peaceful walk among the beautiful grounds with Bowser and enjoy watching him play peekaboo with the Koi Fish. The Dog Park at Hugh MacRae Park offers separate off-leash opportunities for large and small dogs, water, and waste disposal. Woof Gang Bakery and Grooming is not far away for a little after workout treat. They also make doggie birthday cakes to make your party special.

Ogden

Ogden feels like a suburb of Wilmington, but is a part of the mutt-ropolitan area. Ogden Dog Park, in the middle of the beautiful Ogden Park, is popular with the furry members of the neighborhood. Your enthusiastic four-footed companion will love to get some off-leash exercise at this grassy and fenced in dog park. Waste bags, water, and disposal cans are available to keep things comfortable and clean. Whether you’re with a gentle giant, or a pocket-sized pal, there is plenty of separated space available for large and small dogs. You’ll be able to relax and chat with other pet parents on the picnic tables. You and your pooch may also enjoy a peaceful leashed walk on the walking trails of Ogden Park. The park also features tennis courts, picnic areas and a children's playground. Lucky Joe Coffee invites you to come on in with your pup as you enjoy a craft coffee or beer, or even a sandwich, served Monday through Saturday.

Pine Valley Estates

Pine Valley is a large neighborhood in an established golf-course community. Leashed pets are very welcome on the neighborhood’s 1.3-mile paved nature trail that is heavily shaded by the pine forests, and a favorite among residents. Halyburton Park features a doggie water fountain, picnic areas, and a children’s playground. The park is popular with bikers and walkers, so keep your dog leashed. If Fido deserves a treat after his great workout, or a cake for his birthday, check out the goods at nearby Coastal K9 Bakery. For you, Slice of Life offers Italian-American cuisine, while Incredible Gourmet Pizza offers pizza by the slice. Both allow your leashed and well-behaved dog to dine with you at the outdoor tables. For dessert, treat yourself and Fido to sundaes at Bruster’s Real Ice Cream. They make a special treat topped with crumbled dog biscuits for your furry best friend.
