Elon Dog Park - K-9 Corner at Schmidt Park

Beth Schmidt Park is a great place to hold weddings, rehearsal dinners, anniversary and birthday parties, sports banquets, baby showers, office get-togethers, family reunions, and meetings, all while enjoying the open-to-the-public playground, which features an enclosed area with an expanded play area for the kids and a relaxed conversation area for the adults.

The goal of DogWorld was to establish an off-leash utopia where dogs and their humans could safely interact and play together. We discovered that most public dog parks were small, packed spaces where there was no way of knowing whether other dogs were vaccinated or friendly, so we built a park where we could assure that all dogs were vaccinated and temperament checked.

There are 3,900 acres of woods for hiking and camping, as well as canoeing and fishing on the Eno River.

There is a playground, tennis and basketball courts, a dog park, and a skate park in this large park.

Oak Ridge is a pioneer in establishing measures to preserve its small-town charm, natural beauty, and historic riches. The CORE Initiative (Conserving Oak Ridge via Easements) is a unique program with two objectives.
