Green Light: Charter Doyle Petsafe Dog Park

Knoxville and Knox County have made a commitment along with locally based PetSafe to make Knoxville the "Most Pet Friendly Community" in the nation, and South Knoxville is no exception!

Charter Doyle Park is a 26-acre park located in South Knoxville just off of Chapman Highway. The land for the park was donated in 1984 by the Doyle family. The park features an open green space with a backstop for baseball or softball games, as well as room for any other recreational activities. The park also offers a playground, shelter and tennis courts. While the Charter Doyle Greenway borders the park's green space, the Mildred Doyle Nature Trail winds through the woods that border the park- allowing  for a peaceful stroll. 

In 2011, Petsafe donated funds to convert a 2-acre section of Charter Doyle Park into a dog park- making it the fifth Petsafe Dog Park in Knoxville. The PetSafe Dog Park at Charter Doyle Park, provides individual areas for large and small dogs to play unleashed. Large cedar trees and a dog water fountain offer a cool place for pups and people alike to have fun and cool off during hot summer months. Bring your canine for a walk around the paved loop trail within the main section of the Park or a short hike through the woods on the Mildred Doyle Nature Trail.
