Chaffee Crossing Dog Park

location_onFort Smith, AR

Open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day of the week, this City of Fort Smith dog park serves the fast-growing Chaffee Crossing district at 8204 Veterans Avenue, an address that technically carries a Barling zip on the district's eastern side. The city's parks directory lists a climbing structure among the amenities, and visitors describe separate fenced areas for big and small dogs plus mounded terrain the dogs actually use. Chaffee Crossing is the redeveloped Fort Chaffee land, now filling in with trails, breweries, and housing, and the dog park fits the district's build-it-new character. The long daily hours are the standout feature: few parks in the region let early risers and night-shift owners work a dog run into their schedule this easily.
