About the Park
Run by the Pittsylvania County Pet Center on US-29 in Chatham, this fully fenced dog park separates small dogs under 40 pounds from larger ones, keeping play size-appropriate. It is free to use, but hours are limited and specific: open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5:30 PM and closed Sunday and Monday, so plan your visit around that window rather than assuming all-day access. Being tied to the county pet center means a visit can overlap with meeting adoptable animals. This is rural southern Virginia near Danville, with hot, humid summers, so bring water. Cleanup supplies and other amenities are not documented here, so pack your own waste bags. Double-check the current schedule with the Pet Center before driving out, since limited-hour parks change seasonally.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Pittsylvania County 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.
Best of all, Pittsylvania County 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 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.
