About the Park
Hours run long here — 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day of the week — which makes the Dog Park at Apex Nature Park workable for before-work and after-dinner visits alike. At 2600 Evans Road, the fully fenced park separates small and large dogs into their own off-leash areas. Shade gazebos and benches give owners somewhere to wait out the Triangle's humid summer afternoons, while water fountains and pet waste stations with bags cover the practical needs. There is no charge; the Town of Apex runs it as part of the larger Apex Nature Park complex near the Seymour Athletic Fields. For dogs that need a secure perimeter, the full fencing here is the kind of detail that saves a stressful visit.
