About the Park
Bethabara Road in northwest Winston-Salem is home to the Dog Park at Nelson Malloy Park, a fully fenced, free off-leash area with separate sections for small and large dogs. The dog park is one piece of a larger city park: a picnic shelter sits on the grounds, and a splash pad operates nearby, which makes combined family-and-dog outings workable in summer. Listed hours show the park open 24 hours daily, unusual flexibility for a municipal facility. Surface type is not documented, so expect to assess footing on arrival, especially after rain. The City of Winston-Salem maintains a facility page for Nelson Malloy Park with current details, the best source if you need to confirm rules or seasonal changes before a visit.
