Renaissance Dog Park

Address: Renaissance Park, 1536 W Tyvola Rd, Charlotte, NC 28217

Fenced sections for large and small dogs, water fountains, waste bags, trash cans, and restrooms give this Charlotte park a solid setup for off-leash play. The grassy grounds are generally well-kept, though mud puddles form after rain and a few visitors have flagged small gaps in the fencing that smaller dogs could squeeze through. There's no shade or seating for owners, which is worth noting on hot days.
