In Kentucky, there are several beautiful outdoor spaces that can be a blast to share with your dog. Unfortunately, many places can’t allow dogs to be off-leash due to liability and the need to protect the natural environment.
Off-leash dog parks allow you to spend time with your dog and enjoy the outdoors with fewer risks. If you’re a Louisville local, or you’re going to visit the area soon, here are some of the best places you can take your dog to spend time where they can be off their leash.
Whether you prefer something rural, urban, or a park that serves alcohol, there’s a dog park in Louisville for you and your dog. Almost all of the dog parks in the Louisville area have a membership fee, though, so it’s important to contact the Louisville Dog Run Association before visiting a park to get more information about a membership or a guest pass to one of their parks.
