\"Playful<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re itching to get your dog outdoors, we highly recommend visiting one of Knoxville\u2019s excellent dog parks. Knoxville is known for being one of the most dog-friendly cities<\/a> in the United States\u2014by design. Back in 2009, PetSafe partnered with the City of Knoxville to make the city the pet-friendliest in the nation. There are now 9 fabulous dog parks<\/a> in the city. Most are equipped with doggie waste bags and water fountains. Which one will you visit first? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Charter Doyle PetSafe Dog Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This two-acre dog park in South Knoxville is nestled within Charter E. Doyle Park. Your pup can enjoy off-leash fun in a large or small enclosed area, depending on her size. The Charter Doyle PetSafe Dog Park<\/a> is perfect for a hot summer day because it\u2019s partially wooded, with plenty of interesting rocks to climb over and grasses to sniff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Sam Duff Memorial Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bring the whole family to the Sam Duff Memorial Park<\/a> in South Knoxville, where your kids can play basketball, tennis, or pickleball while Fido roams the dog park. The Sam Duff Greenway makes for a fun nature walk, too! Just make sure you bring a leash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. PetSafe Plumb Creek Dog Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Head to West Knoxville for an afternoon at the PetSafe Plumb Creek Dog Park<\/a>, which offers a 7-acre enclosed area for large dogs and a 1-acre enclosure for small dogs. That\u2019s a lot of space to run and play! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Dogwood Park at Victor Ashe Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one-acre dog park<\/a> in North Knoxville will satisfy your puppy\u2019s need to explore. The park offers a fun balance of trees and grass, along with a tunnel, a puppy jump, and hill structures for your adventurous dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. PetSafe Emma Jane Walker Memorial Dog Park <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This dog park<\/a> is tucked inside Tommy Schumpert Park in North Knoxville. You can relax on a bench and watch your small dog play in the enclosed area for dogs under 30 pounds. Or, head into the enclosed area for all dogs, where you and your pup can enjoy a walking trail, a pond, and a dock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Downtown PetSafe Dog Park <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you headed into the heart of Knoxville? Bring your dog with you! At Downtown PetSafe Dog Park, you\u2019re sure to meet new friends<\/a>. The one-acre dog park offers separate enclosures for both large and small dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. PetSafe Village Dog Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one-acre dog park<\/a> in West Knoxville features a pond, agility equipment for your pup to explore, and picnic tables so you can sit and watch your dogs play. Unlike most of the other dog parks on our list, PetSafe Village is an on-leash dog park until 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays and 5 pm throughout the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. PetSafe Concord Dog Park <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let your dog release his energy outdoors at the PetSafe Concord Dog Park<\/a> in West Knoxville. With four acres of wooded trails, open fields, and a pond, there\u2019s lots to explore. And it\u2019s no surprise that this park is a favorite with dogs who love to swim<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Holston River PetSafe Dog Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dog will love to weave through the trees at the Holston River PetSafe Dog Park<\/a> in East Knoxville. This shady, two-acre haven offers separate enclosed areas for large and small dogs. Hook your pet up to the leash after playtime to explore the adjacent Holston River Greenway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
