About the Park
Off Lake Drive in Salisbury, City Park spreads across a large green space built around a four-acre lake, with walking trails looping the water. The grounds are unfenced, so dogs should stay leashed unless posted rules say otherwise, and it is worth confirming the leash policy on arrival. Beyond the trails, the park holds picnic shelters, benches, tennis and pickleball courts, and play structures, so a dog walk can fold into a longer family outing. Entry is free as a public city park. Gates are open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The lakeside paths give dogs a steady route to cover on a routine walk.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
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, City Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
