Dog walking in Alcoa

West Knoxville

The western side of Knoxville, Tennessee is about a 20-minute drive from Alcoa, and it's where you'll find the PetSafe Village Dog Park. This dog park is just over one acre in size, and it doesn't separate large and small dogs. Dogs of all sizes play together in one area and enjoy the agility equipment, toys, and pond within the dog park. There's a walking path around the pond, and human visitors will also enjoy the covered picnic shelters in the park. The PetSafe Village Dog Park provides visitors with waste disposal supplies, and there are water fountains for your pup, too!

Fountain City

Knoxville is home to another PetSafe Village Dog Park, and this one is located in the Knoxville neighborhood known as Fountain City. The Tommy Shumpert Dog Park has one section for dogs under 30 pounds, as well as another section for dogs of all sizes to play together. The small dog section has a grass and mulch surface, and there are benches situated throughout the space as well. In the general area, there's a mulch walking trail, and if your dog is a swimmer, they'll love the dock and pond in the park they can use. The park surrounding the off-leash area has a paved walking trail, but your dog must be on a leash.

Colonial Village

The Charter Doyle PetSafe Dog Park in the south Knoxville neighborhood of Colonial Village is less than a 20-minute drive from Alcoa. Charter E. Doyle is a large public park with playgrounds, walking trails, sports fields, and picnic facilities in addition to the off-leash area. The dog park includes separate sections for big and small dogs, and throughout each section, you'll find seating, water fountains, and waste disposal stations. There's also a paved trail encircling Charter E. Doyle Park, and it connects to the dog park, so you can get a good on-leash walk in before you head to the off-leash area.

Holston Hills

Holston Hills is a historic area of East Knoxville, and it's less than 20 miles from Alcoa. Along with incredible homes from the 1920s and an impressive country club, the neighborhood has a pawfect park! The Holston River Dog Park, which opened in 2012, is also located in this area. Holston River Park has sports fields, trails, playgrounds, and walking trails in addition to the off-leash park. The dog park includes sections for big and small dogs, and both areas have water fountains for humans with spouts at dog level, waste disposal items, and seating. Large trees throughout the park not only look beautiful but also provide much-needed shade for hot days.

Windsor Park

There's a dog park in the northwestern Knoxville neighborhood of Windsor Park known as Dogwood Park, and it's located within Victor Ashe Park, which is a 115-acre multi-use park. Apart from the dog park, Victor Ashe Park also has playgrounds, sports fields, fishing access, a paved trail good for leashed dog walks, and concession stands. The dog park takes up one acre of the park, and it's situated on a hill so dogs can burn extra energy racing up and down. The park isn't divided into sections for different sizes, but it includes agility equipment, water fountains for dogs, seating, and waste disposal items.
