The Stoney Creek Dog Park is an off-leash dog park in Goldsboro, North Carolina. The dog park is part of the Stoney Creek Park which is an outdoor recreational facility that offers residents a place to take woodland walks, enjoy a picnic, or play some disc golf.Â
The park focuses on nature and also has a beautiful butterfly garden as well as a nature play zone for kids. The Stoney Creek Dog Park has a parking lot at the entrance and dogs, while welcome anywhere in the park, must be kept leashed until inside the designated off-leash area. There is an annual fee payable to use the dog park, which is $20 for the first dog and $15 for any additional one.
This dog park in Goldsboro is a wooded area of Stoney Creek Park which has been fenced with five-foot-high chain-link to give dogs a safe and secure place to be off-leash. There are lots of fallen leaves and bark chippings for the dogs to investigate, squirrel scents to sniff out and on a good day, lots of fur buddies to get to know.Â
While there is some wildlife in the area, dogs are expected to behave in their very best domesticated way and uphold the etiquette rules of good dog park behavior. Most pups visiting these off-leash areas will be socializing with fur buddies who are unknown to them and so pet owners need to keep a wary eye out for any trouble brewing.Â
Owners should always keep a leash in one hand and poop bags in the other, so they are prepared for all events. As this dog park in Goldsboro is wooded countryside through which all sorts of animals wander at night when it's quiet, pet parents need to make sure their pup's parasite treatment for ticks and fleas is current. If not, they may find themselves taking home more than just a tired dog after a day at the Stoney Creek Dog Park.
