Carolina Pines Dog Park

****WARNING**** I have been taking my dogs to this dog park for a few months, no problem with the dog park itself but this past weekend (1÷30÷16) my car was broken into (the window) and my purse was stolen when the police arrived he kind of laughed and said this happens far to often around here. So if you go to this dog park and have valuables left in your car hide them and/​or take them into the dog park with you, my purse was not left in plain sight either. !!!

Great dog park with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and burn energy. Most of the time the owners clean up after there dogs but you have people that are just lazy also.
I have been bringing our dog here since she was a puppy and never had a bad experience.

Great little place and maintained well. There are usually some plastic bags available at the entrance if you’ve forgot yours. Every time I’ve been the other owners are nice and do a decent job of watching out for the occasional dog dispute. My dog just wants to play ball… Lots of room for this! For the neighborHOOD it’s in, five stars.

Awesome place to take your dog or dogs. There are separate areas for little dogs and newer dogs if they aren’t ready to join the big pack. My dog, jack, has loved his few trips here. If I didn’t have the kids with me everyday we would go more.

Not a great place. Lots of dog poop all over the place. People don’t clean up after their dogs so you’re always stepping in it. People are kind of active but for the most part they park their behind on a bench and let their dogs go. We like to walk around and watch our dogs so we know they are interacting appropriately, it’s not really that kind of place. Better, way better, than the mill brook exchange dog park but not the place for us.

We took a day trip up to Raleigh today and brought our dog. Bam Unilocal to the rescue once again, for one i was trying to find outdoor things to do on google (like an idiot) and found nothing. The I turned off the retard button and opened up my iPad and went to Unilocal,within seconds I am seeing exactly what I need Jamie m. really appreciate your review it was a big help!
This dog park/​park is really awesome there are lots of little trails in the area to walk and the actual dog park is huge compared to the other one I have been to. Lots of room for the dogs to run and there are three different cages so you can play one on one with your dog or if you have a more aggressive dog and still want it to be able to run free you can separate them. There is plenty of sitting area and lots of little toys laying around if you forgot to bring some for your pooch. I definitely say if you are in the area bring your pup here he/​she will have a blast.

My boyfriend and I are dog park newbies. I grew up on a 20 acre farm, so we never really needed to take our dogs anywhere else to get some exercise and socialization. But we recently got a puppy and we’re trying to socialize her and get her used to new situations while she’s still young so we thought it was a good time to try out the dog park. The park is a bit hard to see since it is located behind the main Carolina Pines park.
I was very glad that this park has two separate small dog areas, since our puppy still doesn’t quite know what to do with dogs that are 10 times her size. I think we were there a little over an hour, early on Sunday afternoon, and 6 or 7 small dogs cycled through our area during that time. There were well over a dozen large dogs in the main area. There are a few picnic tables, water buckets and trash cans. I was pretty impressed that the park was so clean, the owners I saw were very good about monitoring and cleaning up after their pets. Another big pro to the park (and the reason it gets a fifth star) is that it’s almost entirely shaded, including the parking lot.
The next time we’re back in Raleigh we’ll definitely stop by again!
