About the Park
Fido Field on City Farm Road in Newport News is a fully fenced dog park with a lot packed in: separate small-dog and large-dog areas, agility equipment, covered benches, water fountains, and adjoining walking trails. The grass surface and wheelchair-accessible layout make it easy to use for a range of visitors. It is free and open daily from sunrise to 9:00 PM. Water access and shade under the covered benches help on the muggy days common to the Virginia Peninsula. This is a well-equipped park rather than a bare lot, so it rewards a longer visit that mixes off-leash play with a trail walk. Bring waste bags and refill your dog's water on hot afternoons, and use the double sizing areas to keep play matched.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Fido Field Dog 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Fido Field Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
