About the Park
Wade Avenue regulars know the Dog Run at Jaycee Park as a no-frills, fully fenced off-leash space west of downtown Raleigh. Footing is wood chips, which hold up better than bare grass in wet weather, and natural shade covers part of the run. A double-gated holding pen makes entries and exits calmer, while an accessible sidewalk leads to the run. Benches and waste bags are provided. Hours are tighter than some city parks: 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday, and 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. Sunday, so check the schedule before a weekend trip. Use is free.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Run at Jaycee Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Best of all, Dog Run at Jaycee Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
