About the Park
Inside Hix Recreation Park on E Spring Street in Oxford, this fully fenced dog park comes well equipped for a longer visit. Agility equipment gives active dogs something to work on, dog drinking water is on site, and lighting means the space stays usable after dark. Chairs and a table give owners a place to settle in. The city lists it as open 24 hours, and there is no fee to use it. Bring your own waste bags to be safe. Oxford sits in the northern Piedmont, where summers run warm and humid, so shade and water matter in the heat. Watch how the dogs are mixing before letting yours off leash.
