Orme Park

Orme Park is a family-oriented, 6.6 acre park bisected by the babbling Clear Creek. It's located along Brookridge Drive in the neighborhood of Virginia Highland. The park may be small, but it's very wooded and sunken beneath street level, which makes you feel like you're in the wilderness. The park is conveniently located two minutes away from all the shops and restaurants of Virginia Highland, and surrounded by gorgeous homes, old and new. This makes it the ideal area to take your canine companion for a walk.  

Orme Park does not have a parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking in the area. Be sure to check to signs so as to avoid getting a ticket. There are no facilities in the park, but it more than makes up for it with lovely greenery and other features. Possibly your doggo's favorite part will be the paved walking trail that follows along Clear Creek, and under a canopy of leaves. It's well-loved by cyclists, dog walkers, and joggers. On your travels, you'll come across a historic stone bridge, located at the west end of the park. 

This family-friendly park is popular among families with small children, and features playgrounds for all ages located at the north end, along with plenty of children's toys that neighbors have donated to the park over time. There are multiple benches where parents and pet-parents can kick back, and a beautiful granite seating wall adjacent to the playgrounds. 

There are no water-fountains here, so be sure to bring plenty of drinking water for you and your parched pup. Since many small children play here, it's high-priority to keep the park safe and clean. Please do your part by keeping your doggo leashed, and bringing bags to pick up after your pup.

Orme Park is the pawfect little getaway for some fresh air and exercise with your best pal.
