About the Park
Pets Own Place offers off-leash access in Hendersonville, a mountain town in Henderson County south of Asheville in western North Carolina. Listed as a free public park, it is a no-cost spot for local dog owners to let their dogs move freely. The details on file cover only the off-leash designation, leaving fencing, surface, and hours unconfirmed, so verify those when you arrive rather than assuming the area is fully enclosed. The cooler mountain air makes for comfortable outings much of the year, but bring water on warm afternoons and pack waste bags. For current specifics, a check with Hendersonville's parks information ahead of your visit is worthwhile.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Pets Own Place is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Pets Own Place 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

Your dog's favorite toy
