About the Park
Grass underfoot distinguishes the off-leash area at Midtown Park, a 9,500-square-foot fenced yard at North Hills in Raleigh's Midtown district, off Cardinal at North Hills Street. The dog section is fully enclosed, and its setting inside a larger park puts it within walking distance of the North Hills shops. Hours deserve a double-check: the park itself is listed as open around the clock, while the dog area is recorded as dawn to dusk, so follow whatever is posted on site. There is no fee to use it. Amenities beyond the fence and the turf are not documented in our records, so bring your own water and waste bags for now.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Midtown 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.
Best of all, Midtown Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
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 folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
