About the Park
Drinking water, shade, and even communal toys and frisbees make Colonial Greenway one of the better-equipped dog parks in Norfolk. The fully fenced, off-leash area sits at 405 Delaware Avenue in the Colonial Place section of the city. Benches give owners a place to sit, and waste stations with bags are positioned around the yard. Hours run 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM every day of the week, and entry is free. The shade matters here — Hampton Roads summers are hot and humid, and a shaded break spot extends play sessions considerably. Bring your own water bowl as backup, but the on-site water access means you usually won't need it.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Colonial Greenway 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.
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, Colonial Greenway Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
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.
