Blacksburg Dog Park is pet-friendly. Bring your pooch along to this fenced park to play off leash with local Blacksburg pups. The park features a covered structure for owners to enjoy on rainy and sunny days, benches, a dog house, shady trees and waste bags. Dog owners are reminded to clean up any mess left behind and to fill in any holes that keen diggers make while enjoying the park. Blacksburg Dog Park is open every day of the week from sunrise to sunset. | Sniffspot
55This by far is the BEST place to take your dogs. Aside from the host being super nice and accommodating, the space the dogs have to run, play, sniff, and explore is PHENOMENAL!! There are multiple trails, which the dogs loved. Very spacious, well maintained and visually stimulating with every turn. My son and I enjoyed it as much as our dogs (which are now exhausted) We will definitely go back. Laura P.

FAQ About Shawsville Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
