About Dog Parks in Matthews
Matthews, NC has a small but solid dog park scene — with one dedicated off-leash facility serving the town. While options are limited compared to larger Charlotte-area suburbs, what Matthews offers is a well-rounded spot that covers the basics and then some: separate fenced areas for different dog sizes, reliable amenities, and a community of owners who take upkeep seriously.
Purser-Hulsey Park - Dog Park Entrance is the go-to option in Matthews, and reviewers consistently call it a great park. The setup is practical and thoughtful — two distinct sections divide dogs by weight, with one area for dogs under 25 pounds and a second for those over 25, which goes a long way toward keeping smaller dogs safe and comfortable. Reviewers note it’s clean and that dog owners do well cleaning up after their pets. The park is tagged as busy, so expect company on weekends and after-work hours. Amenities include a dog fountain, shade, benches, and parking on site.
A few things worth knowing before your visit: because the park gets busy, early mornings on weekdays tend to be quieter if your dog does better with fewer distractions. The separate small-dog area is a real plus for timid or petite pups. One recurring note from reviewers is that this is a space meant for dogs — young children who may be nervous around off-leash dogs are better left at home. Parking is available directly at the park, making it an easy stop for Matthews residents.
