What People Are Saying

Such a great use of land in downtown Norfolk
A nice, small place to let your dog tire themselves out with a game of fetch. The water fountain doesn't work right now so be sure to bring some for your pup
Small, busy dog park in the heart of downtown. AstroTurf means it never gets muddy, so it's worth a drive when it's rainy

About Downtown Dog Park

In the heart of downtown Norfolk, this small but vibrant dog park offers a great spot for furry friends to socialize. With its AstroTurf surface, you can avoid muddy paws, even on rainy days. It’s a lively place where dogs can let loose and enjoy a good game of fetch, surrounded by the buzz of the city.

While the park is compact, it features essential amenities like benches for human visitors, garbage cans, and poop bag stations, making clean-up a breeze. However, keep in mind that the water fountain may be out of service, so bringing your own water for your pup is advisable during dry spells. On sunny days, you’ll appreciate the shaded seating areas, perfect for catching your breath between throws.

Though the park can get busy, especially during peak hours, the social atmosphere is part of its charm. Regulars love the convenience of its location, making it easy to pop in for a quick play session. Just remember to keep an eye on your dog if they’re playing with energetic friends!
