Nashville just earned a spot among the country’s best cities for dog parks with an especially strong score for park quality. That’s quite the bark of approval.
For a doggone good time, head to these dog parks and tap the button below for more places to take your pup.
Central Dog Park
This fenced dog park sits next to a larger public space with wide walkways, a play area, and bike racks. It’s an easy stop if you’re already out walking in the neighborhood near Surefire Coffee and Bearded Iris Brewing.
Gulch Dog Park
Located near The Turnip Truck, the park has designated areas for large and small dogs, plus a set of murals that have become its most recognizable feature.
Fair Park Dog Park
This car-themed dog park is conveniently located near the fairgrounds and GEODIS Park + received “4 out of 5 bones” on BringFido.
Two Rivers Dog Park
After play time, pet owners can do laps with their pooches on the walking path around the dog park.
