Blackwater Creek Dog Park

Is your pup looking to widen their social circle? Then bring them to the Lynchburg Dog Park! Located at the Blackwater Creek Athletic Area, this pawpular canine hangout is a great place for your pooch to not only meet new doggie friends but also get some off-leash exercise! Best of all, it's free to everyone, including canines visiting from out of town! Just remember to bring your dog's license with you when you drop by.

The Lynchburg Dog Park is divided into two separate areas for large and small woofers. Canines weighing at least 30 pounds are required to stick to the large dog area, while well-socialized, petite pooches may play in the big dog section at their human's discretion. Both sections are fully fenced and double gated, so you can rest easy as your pupper sniffs, sprints, and socializes sans leash. Still, all pooch parents are expected to keep a close watch on their furry charges so that everyone can have a pawsitive experience at the dog park.

In addition to ample room for off-leash romping, the Lynchburg Dog Park features trees, fire hydrants, benches, and drinking fountains. There are shade structures to duck under on sunny days, as well as pet waste stations to make cleanups easy and convenient. Help keep the site clean by always picking up whatever your doggo puts down! Visitors have also praised the park's curved design, which makes it unlikely for a dog to get backed into a corner.

Since this is such a pawpular location, the grass often gets worn out quickly, and the area tends to get muddy when it rains. There are no doggie showers on-site, but you can take your pup to Blackwater Creek for a quick rinse before heading home.
