Brown Park is a 28-acre award-winning park in St. Matthews, KY, featuring concrete walking trails through wooded areas along Beargrass Creek, picnic areas, playgrounds, and wildlife like ducks and geese. It serves as a peaceful oasis near hospitals with amenities including a reservable pavilion, BBQ grills, water fountain, and family restrooms. The park obeys the city leash law and is open from dawn to dusk.
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.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Brown Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Obey the city leash law. No alcoholic beverages. Trails for walkers and joggers only. No parking on grass. Do not feed the ducks (though posted).
