WE ASKED SOME POPULAR PUPS – AND THEIR OWNERS – ON INSTAGRAM WHERE THEY GO IN TOWN
HANK ANDERSON COMMUNITY PARK nderson park is readily accessible via N.C. 54. The park is perfect because of the ample space for dogs to run free and play. There is enough space to play fetch with your dog. There is a separate space for smaller sized dogs too. After playing in the park, there is a trail right across from the dog park that is perfect for your pet (and yourself) to cool down before you hop back in your car. —Kix Belza & Luna

SOUTHERN COMMUNITY DOG PARK outhern Community Dog Park is an amazing public dog park! There are always dogs there to play with, it has a ton of space and variety of natural terrain, and the other dog parents are all friendly. —Kathryn Cooper & Josie, @josiepennysammy

love Southern Village Dog Park. Or rather, my two beagles, Latke and Kasha, love the park, the people and the different pups they meet there. The park is well designed and well maintained. The other owners are friendly and the dogs socialize and play together well. —Tyler Curtain & Latke and Kasha, @tylercurtain

he Southern Community Dog Park is a nice dog park that has super friendly dogs and dog owners. The dogs can get together to play, without the owners having to worry about their dogs getting into trouble. They even have a water fountain for the pups, too! —Caroline Bowers & Holden, @holdenthegolden_

his is one of the nicest dog parks we have been to. It is separated into two large, fenced in areas – one for dogs [less than] 25 pounds and one for dogs [over] 25 pounds. Each area has a water fountain, a small pavilion with seating and dog waste stations. A few people have organized weekly dog socials, too! We occasionally attend the small dog meetup. —Hunter Bomba & Willis, @willis_doodle
HOMESTEAD DOG PARK y partner and I moved back to Chapel Hill in September. He grew up at Chapel Hill Skate Park so it only made sense to check out the dog park at Homestead. Rasheed Stabler Wallace Our dog grew up in Arizona and loved to go mountain hiking; now he loves to jump on – and sometimes over – the boulders at Homestead. Never once has he met a dog that he didn’t like, or didn’t like him. The ample shaded area is great for sunny days. —Alanna Davis &
