About Dog Parks in Savannah

Savannah has 5 dog parks spread across the city, ranging from large free off-leash spaces to a members-only private facility. Most of the publicly accessible options are free and off-leash, and several include separate areas for small and large dogs — a nice touch if you have a smaller pup. Surfaces vary from loose dirt to grass to wood chips, and a few spots have shade and benches, which matters a lot during Savannah’s warmer months.

Herty Pines Dog Park is the clear crowd favorite with nearly 400 reviews, and it’s easy to see why locals keep coming back. It’s centrally located, spacious, and shaded by trees — but reviewers consistently note the ground is all loose dirt, so bringing a towel for your dog’s paws before getting back in the car is a smart move. It also offers agility equipment, a water feature, and a dedicated small-dog area, all for free. Mohawk Dog Park is worth the trip for owners who want a cleaner setup: reviewers highlight actual grass (no mud), a water station with a dog bowl, separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, a paved path along a lake, and plenty of parking. Windsor Forest offers a more secluded feel with two separate fenced areas, though reviewers acknowledge the facilities are more basic.

A few practical notes for visiting Savannah’s dog parks: Mohawk is described as a bit of a walk from the parking lot, but the paved path makes it manageable. If you’re heading to Herty Pines, pack that towel — the dirt surface is real. And if you’re a resident at The Landings, their members-only park reportedly uses deep wood chips in the small-dog area and comes highly recommended by those who have access.
