Here in Kentucky, there are a lot of 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 are a wonderful way for you to spend some time with your dog enjoying the outdoors with fewer risks, not to mention you won’t be breaking the law. If you’re a Louisville local, or you’re just 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 of their leash.
Whether you prefer something rural, urban, or 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.
