About the Park
Washington's off-leash dog park, near 601-699 East 4th Street in this historic Pamlico River town, is fully fenced with separate areas for small and large dogs. Water access, benches, waste bags, and trash receptacles cover the basics. Dogs run off leash inside the fencing. Hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, though the park is closed on Fridays, so plan around that midweek gap. There is no admission fee. Sitting in the Inner Banks region of the coastal plain, Washington sees warm, humid summers, so bring extra water on hot days. Check the entrance for posted vaccination or supervision rules before letting your dog off the lead for the first time.
