Piney Wood Park

Tucked into the calm and scenic suburb of Durham called Woodlake, this massive dog park is separated into four separate play areas designed for larger or smaller dogs. There’s even a section for puppies to frolic with each other. The park is the perfect size: small enough to allow dogs to socialize and play, yet big enough to provide several shaded retreat areas with ample water should your dog need to cool off and relax.

Players Retreat

A Raleigh staple, Players Retreat is the oldest continuously operating tavern in the Southeast, as it was opened in 1951. Owned and operated by dog lovers, you can enjoy an ice cold draft beer and some good grub while sitting outside on the patio with your pup, who can feast on treats and water.
