About the Park
Tucked into Riverbend Park on NC-16 in Conover, this fully fenced, roughly one-acre dog park mixes wooded and grassy ground for a more natural feel. Seating gives owners a place to sit while dogs explore. Note that a permit and a current rabies tag are required, so sort those out with Catawba County before your first visit. It is open daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM at no charge for park entry. The mixed surface and tree cover help on warm Piedmont afternoons. Bring your own water and waste bags to be safe, and watch how the dogs are interacting before letting yours off leash in the shared space.
