About the Park
Canine Veterans Memorial Park honors service dogs while giving local pets a fully fenced place to play, located on Mayberry Loop Road near Morehead City and Pine Knoll Shores on the Crystal Coast. Small and large dogs are separated into their own areas, water bowls are on hand, and seating lets owners settle in. On-site water access helps dogs beat the coastal heat. The park is free and open from dawn to dusk. This stretch of the North Carolina coast gets hot, humid summers and steady sun, so early-morning or evening visits tend to be most comfortable. The memorial theme gives the grounds a reflective character; keep dogs leashed until inside the fence and check the gate latches on your way in.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Canine Veterans Memorial 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, Canine Veterans Memorial Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
