About the Park
Rain changes nothing at West Street Dog, an indoor dog park and dog bar at 400 W. North Street in downtown Raleigh, with the entrance on N. West Street. The play space is fully fenced and off-leash, and a small-dog area runs on weekends. This is a business rather than a city park: weekday daycare and overnight boarding are part of the operation, and seating lets owners settle in while the dogs play. Hours vary by day, with weekend open play running in split morning and afternoon blocks, so check the current schedule at weststreetdog.com before making the trip downtown.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
West Street Dog 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.
Best of all, West Street Dog is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
