About the Park
Hops & Hounds is Oak Ridge's on and off-leash dog park and craft beer garden combining a safe play space for dogs with a social venue for humans. The facility features separate fenced areas for leashed and off-leash play, with a central patio area offering food, drinks, and entertainment.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Hops & Hounds 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, Hops & Hounds is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
