About the Park
The Gatlinburg Dog Park, located within Mills Park, features separate enclosed areas for small and large dogs, providing a clean, spacious, and well-maintained off-leash space with varied terrain and shaded spots. It was funded by a Tennessee Dog Park Dash Grant and opened around 2021. Reviews highlight it as one of the best parks in the southeast, though it occasionally undergoes maintenance for issues like drainage.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Gatlinburg 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.
Best of all, Gatlinburg Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
