Part of Duff-McDuff Green Memorial Park at 75 James Ashby Parkway in Falmouth, Duff's Dog Park serves the Fredericksburg area with a fully fenced, free off-leash space on grass. Separate small and large dog areas let owners match play to their dog's size, and the park adds agility equipment, seating, waste bags, and access to a nearby stream for water-loving dogs. Posted hours run 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The agility gear gives high-energy dogs something to do beyond a plain run, and the creek access is a bonus on warm days in this part of central Virginia. Bring waste bags as backup. Stafford County's parks site lists current hours and any seasonal closures worth checking before you visit.
