Salisbury blends beautiful historic architecture with great green spaces. The Dog PAWS Park and the extensive Greenway system make it a hidden gem for dog owners.

Salisbury, North Carolina, offers a charming setting for dog owning, defined by its well-preserved historic downtown and its commitment to public parks. A walk through the historic district with a leashed dog is a journey through time, with wide sidewalks and beautiful architecture. For more vigorous exercise, the Salisbury Greenway offers over 4 miles of paved trails that weave through the city, connecting neighborhoods and offering a safe, traffic-free route for walkers and runners.

The city specifically caters to dog owners with excellent, fenced facilities like the Dog PAWS Park at the Salisbury Civic Center. This fenced off-leash area is a community favorite, providing a dedicated space for socialization and play. Additionally, places like Dan Nicholas Park (just outside the city) offer a vast array of recreational options where leashed dogs can join the family for a day of fun. Salisbury combines the aesthetic appeal of a historic town with the functional amenities active dog owners need.
