Paws at the Park

Paws at the Park: Pets + Parks = A Perfect Match!

In С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County, we think parks and pets are a perfect match.

Brought to you by С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County Parks, Recreation and Open Space and the С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County Animal Center, Paws at the Park has two goals:

  • Promoting the benefits of spending time outdoors with your pet
  • Raising awareness of the adorable animals that are up for adoption.

Complete Your Pawsport and Win

Pick up your printed pawsport at any С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County park or preserve or the С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County Animal Center. New pet owners will find one in your adoption folder. You can also download a copy .

Check off the name of the С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County park or preserve you perused with your pet. When you've completed four visits, take a picture of your card and email it to PawsAtThePark@wake.gov.

We'll send you a cool prize that both you and your pet can enjoy!

Participating Locations

Please note that 6-foot leashes are always required. Please note: pets are not allowed at Historic Yates Mill County Park because of its status as a native wildlife refuge.
