About the Park
The Jordan H. Sheldon Memorial Dog Park stands out for a rarely-seen third enclosure: alongside the usual large-dog and small-dog areas, it adds a dedicated space for timid dogs who need a calmer setting. Located on O'Henry Avenue in Davidson, near Mooresville in the Lake Norman area north of Charlotte, the fully fenced park offers on-site water and agility blocks and ramps for active pups. Hours run 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, and admission is free. That timid-dog area makes it a genuinely thoughtful option for shy or anxious dogs who get overwhelmed in a busy general run, letting them ease into off-leash time at their own pace.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Jordan H. Sheldon Memorial 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.
Best of all, Jordan H. Sheldon Memorial Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
