Dog Parks in Oak Island, NC

Hannon A. Templeton Park

location_onOak Island, NC

Hannon A. Templeton Park sits along E Oak Island Drive on Oak Island, giving coastal dog owners a fully fenced spot to let their dogs run off leash. A separate small-dog area lets smaller or more timid dogs play without keeping pace with larger ones. The setting is a passive, natural park, so expect a relaxed, low-key feel rather than a heavily built-out facility. Gates open from dawn to dusk, and there is no fee to use it. Given Oak Island's warm, humid coastal climate, mornings and evenings tend to be the most comfortable times to visit in summer, and shade and water are worth planning for. Confirm any current rules with the Town of Oak Island before your first trip.
