Kingsport is a recreational powerhouse in the Tri-Cities region, offering some of the best dog-friendly infrastructure in Tennessee. The crown jewel is Dogwood Park at Hunter Wright Stadium, a dedicated off-leash facility that goes beyond the basics with agility equipment, separate small dog areas, and water stations. For leashed walks, the Kingsport Greenbelt offers a stunning 10-mile paved path meandering along the Holston River. This network connects neighborhoods and parks, making it easy to integrate a scenic workout into your daily routine.

Kingsport’s commitment to "The Model City" philosophy extends to its pet amenities, ensuring well-maintained and accessible public spaces. Pet owners should be mindful of seasonal park hours and trail etiquette, especially on the popular Greenbelt. The city is also home to a variety of pet-friendly patios and breweries, perfect for post-hike relaxation. With Warriors’ Path State Park nearby offering additional hiking trails and boat rentals, Kingsport serves as an ideal basecamp for active dog owners seeking urban convenience and outdoor adventure.
