The Big Turtle Dog Park welcomes pets. This is a fantastic fenced-in area for dogs to run around and play fetch. The dog park, which is located in west Oak Ridge near Big Turtle Park, has two gated sections for dogs to exercise off-leash, one for dogs under 30 pounds and the other for all canines. Each portion of the park has benches for dog owners to sit on, as well as pet waste bag dispenser stations, trash cans, and a drinking fountain.
