About the Park
The dog park at Highland Park on 5th Street SW gives Roanoke a fully fenced, off-leash area with separate small-dog and large-dog enclosures. Benches and shade trees make it comfortable for owners, and it sits inside a larger park that also has disc golf, a playground, and sports facilities, so a dog outing can fold into a broader visit. It is free and open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, a generous window that suits early risers and evening walkers alike. Roanoke sits in the Blue Ridge's Roanoke Valley, with warm summers and mild winters. Bring water and waste bags, since specific amenities beyond seating are not documented here. Use the separate enclosures to keep play matched, and check the park for event closures on busy weekends.
