Meadows, ponds and a lake off Limestone Road, with miles of walking trails and an unusual playground built from cement teepees, canoes, horses and climbing rocks. Also has an equestrian center and an off-leash dog area that local reviews rate highly.

The dog park inside it
This park contains Carousel Park Bark Park, which has its own page with the eight fields that decide whether the trip is worth it — fenced, size split, water, shade, surface, fee and hours.

Where it is
Field notes
What I saw on the day. Not checked with anyone, and it can go out of date faster than the facts above.
Field note · 8 August 2026 · Site maintainer
The climbing playground is cast concrete made to look like rock — boulders, pinnacles and a hollow one with a cave through it, on wood chips, with the equestrian center's white fencing right behind. Geese and goslings graze the meadow below the parking area, which is worth knowing if you are the sort of person a goose objects to.
Field note · 8 August 2026 · Site maintainer
The off-leash area here is in the dog-park dataset now, as Carousel Park Bark Park. It had been sitting there twice under two names — 'Skyline off-leash area' and 'Bark Park (Limestone)' — because 3100 Skyline Drive is the parking for the park at 3700 Limestone Road, and I had recorded the parking lot as a second dog park.
