About the Park
Adjacent nature trails and wildlife viewing set the scene at Southwest Park's fully fenced dog area on SW Park Drive in Greensboro's 27407 zip code. Inside the fence, separate small-dog and large-dog sections keep play sorted by size, waste bags are stocked, and water access covers drinking needs. Dog treats are sometimes available on site, an unusual perk. The park is free, though posted hours are not recorded in our data, so check signage for open times. Pairing a fenced romp with an on-leash trail walk afterward is the obvious one-two for energetic dogs. Full fencing, size separation, and free entry make this one of the more complete public options on the southwest side of Greensboro.
