About the Park
Adjacent to the Oklawaha Greenway trailhead in Hendersonville, Pet's Own Place Dog Park pairs off-leash play with easy access to a leashed walk on the greenway afterward. The fully fenced grounds separate small and large dogs into their own areas. A water spigot handles refills and rinse-offs, a waste-bag dispenser and trash receptacle keep the space clean, and there is on-site water access. Hendersonville sits in the mountains of western North Carolina, where summers stay comparatively mild and the greenway setting offers pleasant scenery year-round. The park is free to use. Hours are not posted in our records, so check signage at the gate before visiting, and bring backup bags in case the dispenser is empty.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Pet's Own Place 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.
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, Pet's Own Place Dog 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 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.
A reflective collar or light-up leash

High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
