About the Park
Swimming pools and an agility equipment area give Best Friend's Dog Park in Rocky Mount more to do than most. At 480 North Lee Street, the park is fully fenced with grass underfoot and a double-gate entrance for safe transitions. Separate small-dog and large-dog areas keep play matched, and a large flex area gives bigger dogs extra room. Dog water fountains and shaded seating help with the humid summers of the northern coastal plain. Dogs play off leash inside the fencing. The gates open daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and there is no charge, as the city maintains it. The pools make hot afternoons more bearable, so pack a towel for the ride home.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Best Friend's Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Best of all, Best Friend's Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
