Colonial Place Dog Park
About the Park
Colonial Place Dog Park is a spacious off-leash area in Norfolk featuring open space with shade, benches, a water pump with bowls, and a distinctive bamboo forest section. Maintained partly by neighborhood volunteers, the park attracts regular visitors and is noted for friendly dog owners and good opportunities for dog socialization. Muddy conditions during wet weather and occasional waste management issues are reported, and street parking can be difficult to find.
