About the Park
Kernersville maintains the Vivian F. Bennett Memorial Dog Park at 788 Beeson Road, a fully fenced space in the Piedmont Triad between Winston-Salem and Greensboro. A separate small-dog area keeps little dogs out of the rough-and-tumble, and a watering station and waste bags cover the daily needs. Dogs play off leash inside the fencing. The gates open daily from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and there is no charge, since the local parks department runs it. The early opening suits owners who like to beat the summer heat. Bring water for warm afternoons, and check the entrance signs for current rules before letting your dog loose on a first visit.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Vivian F. Bennett Memorial 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, Vivian F. Bennett Memorial Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
