Blacksburg Dog Park — Attraction in Blacksburg

This is a really great dog park, it's always pretty clean and most patrons are good about picking up after their dogs. There are toys and a water pump/bowls available to keep pups hydrated.

Last experience had some issues with a couple dogs being not so friendly and owners not doing much about it so we will be taking a break from...

Really nice group of people there when we visited. We have an 8 month old Golden Doodle and he was able to run around with 1 dog on particular which was wonderful. Our dog has so much energy and it was really great to see him work off some of that energy. A lot of room to run around, bags were available to scoop things up and had containers to dispose of the bags. I would recommend wearing old shoes, as we got our shoes dirty. Love the facility and we...
