About the Park
Big dogs get space to stretch out at this Cleveland off-leash park, in the wooded foothills of southeast Tennessee between Chattanooga and the Cherokee National Forest. The listing flags it for larger breeds, so it suits owners who want their dog around similar-sized playmates. Use of the park is free. Fencing and surface are not documented in our records, which matters more with strong, fast dogs, so check the gate and enclosure before turning anyone loose. Summers here are warm and humid, making early-morning visits the most comfortable for heavy-coated breeds. Hours are not posted, so read the on-site signage, and carry your own water and cleanup bags.
