About the Park
Agility obstacles set Maple Avenue Dog Park apart from most of Norfolk's off-leash options. The fully fenced grass yard at 176 Maple Avenue gives dogs room to run while owners watch from benches along the edge. Waste stations with bags are on site, so cleanup is simple. The park is free and opens daily at 7:00 AM, closing at 6:00 PM — earlier than some other Norfolk dog parks, so plan evening visits accordingly. Grass underfoot is easier on paws than gravel, though it can get muddy after the heavy downpours common in coastal Virginia summers. For dogs that like to work a course rather than just sprint, this is the local pick.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Maple Avenue 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.
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, Maple Avenue Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
