Dog Park
Dix Park has a dog park.
The main, large dog area has been divided in two. This will allow for park maintenance team to close a portion of the dog park so the turf can rest and regrow while leaving the remainder of the dog park open – eliminating the need for monthly closures of the entire facility.
The off-leash area at Dix Park is the only grass dog park in the Raleigh Parks system.
