Dog walking in Johnson City

Westover

The William Hill Park in the Westover neighborhood of Johnson City sets the bar for parks in the area. This park has a great size, making it walkable, but spacious. If you're looking to work off energy from a high strung dog, you can do that in a couple laps of the park. If you'd rather amble or enjoy time on the spacious lawn, you won't have to walk too long to get to it! The park also has a great river view, and access to the water at several points for fishing or wading. Just remember that your dog has to be on leash, even while cooling off!

Floral Park

Southside Park, also known as Floral Ave Park, is a great place to take the whole family. Your dog is going to love all the people watching he can do here, because this park is often packed. The weekends and after school lets out are particularly busy times, and it's easy to see why. This park has a playground and extensive fields and props for sports from basketball and soccer to handball. If you're looking to exercise your dog and forget the rest, there's room to do that here too. Follow the paths through the park or lap the whole thing--either way, there's green space to spare.

North Johnson City (Northside Johnson City)

Northside Park offers community engagement and plenty of fun. The park has many amenities, from a pool and carosel to sports fields and dedicated play equipment. All of this is pretty unimpressive to dogs, however. If you're looking to build a time your pup won't forget, leash up and head to the wooded section. Northside Park's small, but robust woods can help you feel like you're far away from the bustle of the rest of the park. This can be great for soothing shy dogs who don't love the crowds, or just a welcome change of pace in a busy walk.

Downtown Johnson City

It's worth it to bring your dog into Downtown Johnson City with you because you can stop off at Little Park. This park more than lives up to its name! It has just two benches and a street corner in which to make an impression. The path runs straight through the park, surrounding the centerpiece bolder that decorates the middle. The entire park is a corner of a city block, and it's an amazing change from the neighborhood around it. Take your dog here for a quick morning or evening walk under trees, or bring your lunch to snack on while you watch the people go by.

East Johnson City

CFJ Park in the East Johnson City neighborhood is a modern park with modern amenities. The old carousel has been recently renovated and is in working order. A splash pad makes an appearance during the summer months to cool everyone down. This park is great for getting a large group together because there's something for everyone. From the playground, to the sports fields and picnic benches, you can always find something to do. Social dogs will get mental stimulation watching everyone coming and going, and walking the paths will get their blood moving! CFJ Park has plenty of fountains, but bring a bowl for sharing!
