About the Park
The off-leash area at Jackson Park in Hendersonville is an unfenced, natural space rather than an enclosed dog park, so reliable recall matters here. Dogs and owners get vast walking trails, wooded areas with creeks, and acres of open fields, with the Oklawaha Greenway close by for longer walks. The grassy, open setting suits confident, well-trained dogs that stay close off leash. It is free to use. Because there is no fence, keep your dog leashed near roads, water, and other visitors until you are sure of recall. Hendersonville's higher elevation in the western mountains keeps summers milder, which makes daytime exploring more comfortable than in lowland parks.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Off-Leash Area at Jackson Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
