Brand New 70-Acre Off-Leash Dog Park in NC Is Giving People Anxiety

If you had to imagine Heaven it might just be the new 70-acre off-leash dog park in Charlotte, North Carolina. Fittingly called "Off Leash," the area opened within the Whitewater Center. It's a major win for pet owners looking for fun and new ways to get their dogs to have more time outside.

If you spend your weekend mornings traipsing along your local dog park, this new venture takes things to a whole new level.

People normally visit the Whitewater Center for dog-friendly activities like exploring lakes, trails, and trees. But this — this is the big time.

According to WSOC-TV, Off Leash will feature a pebble beach, dock, and dog wash station. There are lots of way to explore the property. You can hike, walk, or run the 1.5 mile "Lake Loop" trail, which runs next to the area's chain of lakes.

If you're into something less structured there are open spaces and wooded areas where guests can pull out their frisbee or tennis ball and play fetch. It might also be a good place to practice all of those training exercises you've been working on at home! There will also be a food and retail space on the property so you can make a day out of your trip.

A video from the Munson Realty Group shows just a snippet of the dog park online. And it looks absolutely incredible. Imagine dogs as far as the eye can see and all of them can play and frolic together. Pure bliss!

There are some rules to get into the park, however. Dogs must be at least 4 months old, vaccinated, and have a collar on with identifying tag when entering.

It does cost a small fee to enter the park. There is a $10 single day pass, a $20 monthly pass, or a $149 annual pass — however with the annual pass you get entry into other Whitewater activities, like the rafting, climbing, and zip lines. Guests must purchase one pass per dog and can bring in up to three dogs inside the premises. Visitors without a dog may visit the park for free. Dogs that are in heat, sick, or aggressive will not be allowed inside the park. The park's hours vary seasonally, so you'll want to check the Whitewater Center website before heading out for the day.

The only downside is that they don't have dog parks like these in every state. We could only imagined how many dogs would be a whole lot happier if they did!
