About the Park
Fourth Ruff Park serves the north side of central Memphis with free off-leash access in the 38107 zip code, and the punning name signals a park that doesn't take itself too seriously. Hard details beyond that are limited in our records — no fencing status, surface type, or posted hours — so walk the perimeter before you unclip. Memphis summers are long and swampy, which makes early morning the default dog-park shift from June through September; winters stay mild enough for year-round visits. For owners in the surrounding neighborhoods, a no-cost off-leash option close to the urban core is worth knowing about, since fenced yards are scarce in the older blocks of this part of the city. Confirm current rules on site before settling into a routine.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Fourth Ruff Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Fourth Ruff Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
