About the Park
Sarah Benson Park is a 27-acre community park in the heart of Thompson's Station, featuring miles of jogging paths, workout equipment, playground, playing fields, pavilions, restrooms, water fountains, and the Mars Dog Sensory Garden. Dogs must be leashed throughout the park except in the separate fenced Nutro Dog Park. It connects via Alexander Trail to Heritage Park and hosts community events.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
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, Sarah Benson 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 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.
