About the Park
Smithland Road Dog Park is a popular off-leash area in Harrisonburg, VA.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Smithland Road 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.
Best of all, Smithland Road Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
