Visit Cary's Dog Park - My Maggie Loves It!!


A few years ago a group of dog owners approached the Town about providing a safe place where dogs could play and get exercise while not on a leash. In December 2004, more than 60 residents attended a meeting that the Town arranged for public input. The Cary Dog Park Club has hosted several "Dog Park for a Day" events that the Town sponsored. Club members have held the events to demonstrate how a dog park would work and to help raise money for one.

As a result of the residents effort, a wonderful new dog park in the Triangle area has opened.  This dog park is located at 2050 North West Marynard near the corner of Chapel Hill Road and Maynard.  The town of Cary's first dog park will provide a place for dog owners to let their pets run free safely and legally without a leash.  The park is approximately 1 acre in size.  Pet owners can purchase memberships or day passes at any Cary, NC community centers. An electronic gate will allow members/day guests through.  Please see the fee schedule below.

My Dog Maggie

My dog Maggie is really hyper so I like to take her here and sometimes to doggie day care at Town & Country in Apex - both are her favorite things to do.

Do you have a dog park in your town?  What do you think of this concept?  Does this sound typical of Cary?

Do you have dog parks in your area?  It's sounds so urban to me.

Hi Tracy- Lived in Chapel Hill 5 yrs and went to the Carrboro park- almost daily. great prospecting tool!
Have fun. They should have a post at the gate saying the dogs needs up to date vaccinations and the kennel cough shot.

 Now Brutus gets to roam the beach but I know he misses the interaction with other four legged friends.

We don't have a dog park in Chico, but we do have the 3rd largest Municipal Park in the US, Bidwell Park. I think it would be great if we had one though!

Yes..Asheville being the progressive town we are (woof!) has several dog parks including  the amazing French Broad River Park..."one of Asheville's most beautiful parks, the park meanders alongside the tranquil French Broad River, and features a vast area of open green space with old trees, a wildflower garden, a paved trail, a gazebo, picnic tables and grills, an observation deck, and a small playground. The Dog Park features a large fenced-in area made for exercising and socializing your pooch!
