After being here several times with my GSD, here is my synopsis: the park itself is a wonderful and fun place (trees providing shade, nice benches, nice gates, doggy bags with trash cans). However, the people that I have encountered have made me swore to NEVER step through those gates again. Of course, it’s not the park owners’ faults, but I feel that I can’t give a full five stars. I have zero experience running a dog park, but I wish there was enforcement of rules. I don’t know how that could be achieved, but these ignorant, idiotic people are ruining the dog park for everyone. 9 times out of 10, I bring my dog here and he gets to get some of that shepherd energy out with another friendly dog. But, that 1 out of 10 experience just so happened to happen to me and my poor dog today. We went to big dog side and almost immediately, a pitbull (or bulldog of some kind, not 100%) latches on to my young dog. And my dog is the type to have his tail in between his legs, head bowed, laying down in front of other dogs to show submission. But I guess that dog just couldn’t stand him. And what makes the situation ten times worse, his dumbass of an owner couldn’t seem to get control of her dog. My family immediately snatched my dog up and returned home, swearing to never go to any dog park again. I hope situations such as mine shed light on the rising problems of this park, and brings this to attention for any dog owner out there: if you take your dog to a dog park, you’re taking a risk. I wish someone would have knocked some sense into me, but I’ve learned my lesson now and can only move forward in helping my dog physically and mentally recover from the trauma he had to experience because of some halfwitted, ignorant, and...
Read moreNo dog wash station. My doodle decided to roll around in a huge puddle of black mud with standing water they had here. Complete normal doodle behavior and he’s a puppy who loves the mud but they didn’t have anywhere to wash or hose him down. This puddle was deep with dark black water so clearly it’s been there for a long time. The city either need to cover this up or install dog wash stations. I had to carry this poor muddy dirty puppy in my brand new car. He shook around and made everything dirty. Just a huge headache and mess to clean up. And it took washing him with soap 5 times to get 90% of the nastiness off. Never again! It’s just so normal for me to expect a dog wash station as all other dog parks in all other cities I’ve been to, all have them that I didn’t even check before I took him. But I loved the people here! People here were just the most friendly bunch I’ve ever met! Also is it a uniquely hattiesburg thing to not have dog wash stations at dog parks? I have travelled to many cities and not having a dog wash station is the rare exception in most cities not the rule like it seems to be here in...
Read moreCSpot Run Dog Park is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in Hattiesburg for dog lovers. The park is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully laid out, giving pups plenty of room to run freely, chase balls, and play with other dogs. I love that they have separate areas for small and large breeds, which makes it feel safer and more comfortable for everyone. The grounds are well-maintained, with shaded spots, benches, and water stations to keep both dogs and owners cool and hydrated. It’s clear the people who run this park care about creating a fun and friendly environment—you can feel it in how respectful and welcoming the community is here. My dog always leaves happy, tired, and ready for a nap, which tells me all I need to know! If you’re in Hattiesburg and looking for a place where your dog can burn off energy and socialize, CSpot Run Dog Park is the perfect spot. Highly recommend checking...
