About the Park
Big Stone Gap Dog Park on West 6th Street North serves this far southwest Virginia coal-country town with a fully fenced, well-lit off-leash space. Lighting is a genuine plus here, extending safe use into the evening, and separate small-dog and large-dog areas keep play matched by size. Dogs get water access and obstacles to work through, while owners have seating and a pavilion for shade or shelter. Double-gated entry adds an escape-proof buffer. It is free to use. Nestled in the mountains near the Kentucky and Tennessee lines, this area sees cooler summers and cold, sometimes snowy winters, so dress for elevation. Posted hours are not in our data, so confirm them locally. Bring waste bags and keep an eye on the double gates.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Big Stone Gap 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.
Best of all, Big Stone Gap Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
