Find the dog park entrance
Get directions to PetSafe Dogwood Dog Park. The dog park is within Victor Ashe Park on Bradshaw Road in North Knoxville.
Follow the park road and dog-park signs to the parking area near the fenced entrance. Keep your dog leashed in the parking area, on the greenway and everywhere outside the designated enclosure.
A hilly all-sizes play area
The fenced acre uses the natural slope along with constructed hills, a jump and a tunnel to give dogs different ways to move and explore. Trees around the enclosure provide some shade, and visitors report benches and a convenient entrance close to parking.
The shared enclosure can mix dogs with very different sizes and play styles. Watch the activity before entering, keep smaller dogs close and leave if the group is not a comfortable match.
Rules before you enter
Knoxville requires dogs to remain leashed in city parks except inside designated off-leash areas. Owners must pick up and dispose of dog waste. Close the gate behind you, supervise your dog and stop unsafe behavior or persistent conflict.
Inspect the fence and surface when you arrive, particularly with a small dog or known escape artist. Follow all posted notices for temporary maintenance, water outages or closure conditions.
What parkgoers say
Parkgoers often praise the room to run, trees, seating, water fountain, agility features and social atmosphere. The entrance’s proximity to parking also helps older dogs and visitors who prefer a short approach.
Common cautions involve missed cleanup, mud or dust, aging equipment and occasional gaps under the fence. Visitors also note that the single shared enclosure may not suit every small or shy dog. These are individual experiences rather than a check of today’s conditions. Read current parkgoer reviews on Google Maps.
