About the Park
Northeast Raleigh's 5401 North community lends its name to this dog park in the 27616 zip code. What our records confirm is limited: it is an off-leash area and there is no fee to use it. Fencing, surface, exact address, and hours are all undocumented, and parks named for master-planned neighborhoods are sometimes intended mainly for the people who live there, so verify access before driving across town. Bring water and bags on a first visit, and keep the leash handy until you have seen the boundaries yourself. If you are local to the Triangle's fast-growing northeast side, it is worth a scouting trip to see what is actually on the ground.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
