This is such a great park! For those with dogs, once you enter the dog park, to the right there is a trail you can let your pup off leash on. it is sooo amazing. everyone was really friendly as well! read more

This is a very nice park. There is a children's playground, basketball court and dog park. My review is about the dog park. It has a very large fenced in area with water fountain. Two gates to access the park provide safety for your pet to not escape with out the owner. I was visiting with a 5 month old pup and concerned about her interaction with the 5 large dogs already there. Two nice ladies were exiting the park and told us how to access the trail that is also fenced in. Their advice was to walk to the right to avoid the steep hill. The trail is quite shaded with lots of exposed roots on the path. This is a loop trail and following their directions is wise to go down the hill rather than up. The trail isn't very long, but is nice and shady. read more

This park opened in 2014. When you arrive, the initial area is two acres, with a water fountain, a small paved loop for walking, some picnic tables, and some greenery. This area isn't well maintained and there are multiple patches of straight mud. Along the back border of this area is a gate that opens to a fenced, 4 acre wooded area with a looped trail of an absolutely mild hike, which is one of the coolest features of any dog park in town. My ward had a blast running through the trees off leash. Between the mud and the woods, the backseat of my car was worse for wear, but the dog had a blast. read more

I go to the park daily, and usually parking is great. The park overall is great! However with nice weather, there was an incident where people were SWARMING like LOCUSTS to use the basketball court and non dog park areas. Usually not a problem. However there are a limited number of parking spots. This last Sunday, people had a big group picnicing on the area around the dog park and they SWOOPED in like a bunch of LOCUSTS and took the MAJORITY of spaces for themselves. We, who frequent the park had NO PARKING due to these interlopers who decided it was OKAY for them to take ALL the spots for themselves. There should be no public gatherings for picnics at the dog park or basket ball courts. Up the hill there is a baseball field and play ground and LOTS of open space to gather. Those of us who use the dog park consistently should be respected and there should be signage informing people where to picnic and that is NOT at the DOG PARK read more

Loved this dog park. Loved the field area, nice and large with covered benches. Loved the fenced in trails even more. Definitely will be back. read more

We came here with three dogs on a trip from Texas. I cannot say enough great things. The wooded trail was a blessing. Let us get out and stretch our legs and let the dogs get out their zoomies. If I'm ever near here again, will definitely go back. Recommend 100%. read more

Love having a dog park in south Nashville! The fenced in walking trail was great! My dog and my children had a lot of fun running through it. read more

William A. Pitts Park - Walking trail is great! - Dog Parks Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

Love this park! Has a great trail that's good for off the leash training and it's pretty expansive. Dog owners are friendly and have good control of their dogs. read more

I love Pitts! I bring my pup here every weekend, I can't wait until summer so I can bring him m during the week too - it just gets so dark so early in the winter I have a medium to large sized hound dog. He is super friendly and just curious. The fenced in trail here is great, it isn't paved and really woodsy, with little dog trails but in addition to the human trail, which is nice. I only wish there was a separate area for little dogs. I don't have a little dog, mine is big and all muscle. He is also a hound, so he loves to sniff and bay, and it tends to scare little dog owners (no matter what I say). So if you have little dogs, seriously 99% of the big dogs at this park are great with everyone, but pay attention or go to a park with a secluded area! read more

So happy to have found a nice dog park close to my home! I was driving all the way to Centennial just to give my dog some exercise. This dog park is pretty big with lots of room for the dogs to run. I mean, my pug doesn't run but she has the option if she ever decided to get a little crazy. There are plenty of benches for us dog owners that want to lounge around. It had a fair amount of dogs so lots of fun playmates. Poop bags are provided along with a water fountain for dogs and humans. Overall, I am very impressed and will be coming here from now on! read more

Nice dog pArk but no separation from large or aggressive dogs. My dog was bullied by a beagle and a Pitt. Owners pulled them away but did not put them on leash or take them out. I left with my 5 month old Wheaten Terrier for his own protection. A gentleman there helped me with him. Those guys should have taken there dogs and left but they chose not to. Considered filing a complaint. Park should be divided for safety. read more

William A. Pitts Park - This fuzzy pup was jumped by two grown dogs. Not hurt. Be careful in this park if you have smaller friendly dogs. - Dog Parks Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

Has the potential to be a great park but until they have a separate area for small dogs it's just unsafe. I don't typically worry about my Doberman which is 85 lbs but an American Staffordshire weighing just as much even had me ready to leave after it successfully cleared the park of all the others after trying to attack a chihuahua. A dog that small should NOT be in an enclosure with an 85lb dog. And I say that even though I have a 6lb poodle at home that my Dobe protects with his life. I just wish people would be more courteous and not bring their obnoxious and untrained dogs to a park and just sit back and continually screech their name when they misbehave. The rest of us are there to let our dogs have fun, not to run and hide from a jerk dog and their owner. read more

Brand new dog park that is only barely finished as of the first week of May 2014. While there is only a single area, it is massive and as big as or bigger than any other dog park in metro Nashville. It is kind of a disappointment that they did not segregate the park into two areas for large and small dogs but those of us living on the south side will take what we can get. As already stated, the fenced area is enormous. There is a nice gravel/cement walkway inside the area and plenty of trees offering shade. There is a nice water fountain in the center with access for both people and dogs alike. Perhaps the single best thing about this park though is it has second gated area connected to the first with a walking trail that runs through the woods. There were no signs up yet but it appears you can take your dog on this trail through the woods with no leash as the entire wooded area is fenced. That may or may not change once signs with rules go up but regardless It's a pretty unique thing that I've not come across at any other area dog parks. As of the time of this review the dog area is fully enclosed but doesn't seem 100% finished. There are barely any signs up yet and also no waste receptacles. Some of the landscaping was also not finished as there were huge swaths of straw patches. I am sure all of that will change very soon as metro puts the finishing touches on. All in all it's shaping up to be a great dog park. read more

Love this park. First time here. Lots of space up front to run and play. Nice gated walking path. Loved it.

Great park, especially for us on the south side that have to travel a bit in the car to get to any park that's worth the drive. We went around 12:30 on a Wednesday and it was packed with a good mix of both small and large dogs. There's a neat little enclosed walking trail/wooded area that is attached to the park that you can walk your dog on in addition to the park which I loved. read more

Great dog park! I enjoyed how you are able to meet other dogs and owners in the main area but then use the trail as well. Very convenient and clean! read more

My dog and I really enjoyed this park. Plenty of room and the walking trail is awesome. I do think there needs to be a separate area for small dogs. There is room for it. My dog is 80 lbs and only 9 months old. He's very friendly and wouldn't intentionally hurt a smaller dog but with his size even accidentally stepping on a smaller dog could hurt it. I'd give it 5 stars if/when a smaller dog area gets added. read more

William A. Pitts Park - Having fun exploring the walking trail! - Dog Parks Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

As dog parks in Nashvile go, this is one of the best. It is not without its problems but as for the safety factor, attentive owners, and a fun place for your dog, William A. Pitts Park is great. Shaded areas for sitting, a large field for playing fetch and the best of all features - a wooded, off-leash walking trail! Not only is it fun for your dog, but a great way for you to get a little exercise yourself. The majority of the owners here are attentive and pretty quick about keeping control over their dogs. Most of us know when it's time to collect our dogs and leave and when we need to step in to break up a tussle. Very much a friendly atmosphere. Generally fairly clean (meaning owners are pretty watchful and clean up messes.) Waste cans and extra poop bags available. No separate area for smaller dogs - so please be aware. One concern that several people have mentioned is the safety factor of the parking area. There have been cars broken into and the park itself has seen some vandalism. Lock your cars and keep valuables out-of-sight. All in all, William A. Pitts Park is on my list of top dog parks - worth a visit if only for that off-leash hiking trail. read more

William A. Pitts Park - Enjoying off-leash time on the trail! - Dog Parks Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

Nope. Nope. Nope. Too many irresponsible dog owners with large aggressive dogs that attack small dogs and then the owners don't even apologize. They did a disservice to the community by not building a small and large side. There is plenty of room for two separate areas. read more

Wow! Love this place. I've been to Shelby, and centennial dog parks and this one blows them away. The fact that there is a separate, fenced in wooded trail to walk in is amazing. My dogs loved running through the woods, and I didn't have to worry about them. By the time I got back around to the gate they were ready to go out for another run in the open field. Great place, much needed. read more

Ive never been to a dog park so i have nothing to compare this to but i will be coming back. There is a nice trail which states its about .35 miles long, and my dog really loves it since he went back about 4 or 5 times before we finally left. There seems to be only bigger dogs here, we arrived around 12pm, and there were 4 big dog's, german Shepard sized, after the trail came back, one big dog, 3 medium size dogs, 2 of which ended up "rough housing" my poor little minpin who was scared out of his mind.... decided to take him on the trail once again and right before we finally left, the dogs had gone and there was 2 new small chihuahuas and a large husky.... i agree with others who say there needs to be an area for small dogs, my dog was terrified out of his mind after being chased around but no harm was done thankfully read more

The dog park itself is great but BE ON ALERT. A car was broken into today within an hour of arriving to the park. The robber broke the cars passenger window out and stole the owners purse all without anyone at the park noticing!!! read more

This was a fantastic dog park. The fenced hiking trail was perfect for my golden retriever. My only negative was the water fountain not working for the dogs and the numerous intact males. There were no fights but definitely more aggression. read more

Great dog park with an amazing little hiking trail that loops around. Good field area for playing fetch as well! Definitely one of my favorite dog parks in Nashville! read more

Really nice park overall. Lots of shade and tons of room to run. In addition to the large open space there is plenty of opportunities to give the dogs water. Right outside the open park for the dogs there is a fenced trail that dogs and human. However, my dog was attacked by a very aggressive dog. There has been two occasions that dog fights have happened and their humans decided to stay at the park. Unfortunately this time my puppy was attacked and it was very scary. After the fight the dog that attacked my dog and her family stayed at the park and we had to leave. read more

Love it! Everyone is friendly and knows each other. They also don't freak out when the dogs are play fighting. The best part is the fenced in wooded trail, my dog loves it and so do I. read more

This dog park is great! With my wife and I owning our first dog together, we couldn't be happier to have stumbled across this gem in south Nashville. He loved ever bit of the park! This area is helping him open up from an overly shy and cowering dog to an adventurous dude. Our first visit made us feel like proud parents. Plus, the trail area is a definite plus. Now, some people may give it low reviews, but the only problem I see with their critiques do not deal with the park. They directly deal with an encounter with a dog. To me (in my own opinion), that shouldn't reflex poorly on the park itself. It's a critique of the dog's owner (which is COMPLETELY separate from the park). Anyone in the area who has a dog would LOVE this parks. read more

Clean park and friendly dog owners. The fenced hiking trail is great.

I have a 6pd yorkie and I took him to this park, immediately after taking him off of his leash four big dogs basically jumped on him. There were two pit bulls that weighed at least 75pds each. The owners of these dogs just stood around and watched it happen. I was trying to get my little one and they had him cornered where he couldn't move. After I finally rescued him and was walking to the gate to leave one of the pit bulls jumped on my back trying to get at him. That park is big enough to fence of an area for small dogs so this doesnt happen. I am sure I am not the only one to experience this. read more

Awesome! This is just what South Nashville needs. The park is very nice. The dog park is perfect; shady AND open. The enclosed (yes, enclosed!) trail is brilliant. The dogs loved it. Yeah, no more road trips and sitting in traffic, just for a darn park! read more

Great park. Nice open area in front and great fenced in trail attached to the park. Water available and kept up nicely. I don't worry so much about the non-separation of large and small dogs....my dog has almost been attacked twice and both times involved smaller dogs. My dog is ~15lbs. I would recommend! read more

We went yesterday and we have a 3.5 pound Chihuahua. We just walked down to the bottom of the park and it was fine. We had a few visitors but they were well behaved. Had a great time! read more

Tammye L.'s and Michelle K.'s reviews were spot on! This is the park to go to if you want your dog to be pummeled to the ground by a pack of dogs weighing in excess of 80 pounds. There is little opportunity for your dog to experience the positive aspects of socialization. This is a bite-bark-attack free-for-all type of environment. Dog owners at this park are remarkably irresponsible and seem to have little interest in anything other than networking, talking about the latest trends, flirting with other dog owners, and being on their phones. The walking trail might just be the only refuge. BEWARE! read more

This dog park is great but there are a lot of irresponsible dog owners that never correct bad behavior in their dog. This should be neutral ground no alpha or territorial behavior should be allowed. The owner needs to stop coming if they have a dog displaying this at the park and don't train or correct the behavior. Owners should pay attention to their dog not congregate with other owners and leave the dogs on their own. I noticed a lot of comments about pit bulls being the aggressors but my experience was huskies and a jack russel mix type dog attacked my dog with puncture wounds. I asked her not to bring the dog back to the park. My dog was enjoying the trail until her dog charged and attacked him. BTW, my dog is an amstaff mix and was on his back yelping - she had to pull her dog off him with my dogs leg in its mouth. In stature he could have easily taken this dog but didn't. He was fine but it was scary for all involved. It isn't the breed it's the training and the owner in my humble opinion. My dog knows who the bullies are in the park and will avoid them if he can or stay by me. If I see them we go straight to the trail until they leave. read more

Great park, large, shaded & it has a picnic table and large boulders to sit on. Good visibility to watch your dog. I take my 10 month old there 1-2 times a wk. Never had a problem owners shown responsibility for their dog. Glad it is here! My pup & I love going there. Walked the trail today & that was a good work out since there is an incline. Kept my pup on a long lead because of the vast wooded area. I'm sure a larger dog would love running through the wooded space. read more

Plenty of room for a split park. Is great for big dogs but my little dogs are clearly not being considered. It is too vast for them and too many big dogs that are aggressive with them. People have already started leaving trash and cigarette butts on the ground which are a danger to dogs. Very disappointed to have a dog park so close that my dogs cannot enjoy. Waste of taxpayers money as is. read more
