Halifax County Welcome Center And Dog Park

I’ve never actually been in the visitors center, but discovering this dog park changed my life! I’m able to stop on trips on 95 and let the dogs out and run free for a bit, which makes mom and pups happy since tired dogs are more relaxed… And they get to leave pee mail which is their absolute most favorite thing in the entire world, after peanut butter. There is also a big and small dog side which is awesome.
There are gas stations nearby, a walmart across the street, Starbucks and various restaurants in the immediate area and other restaurants on the highway nearby.
I tell all my dog friends who travel on 95 about this park.
YAY for animal lovers!
The only downside is that the fence is only 4 ft tall. Everyone should be constantly observing their pet anyways, but a 6 ft fence would make me feel more secure, but beggars can’t be choosers and I appreciate that there is even a dog park to begin with.

This place is so random, only stopped because they have billboards up advertising on the drive down 95.
Right off the highway, in front of a giant Walmart, sits this Welcome Center. I have no idea where they are welcoming you to, but it has the following:
— nice people inside greeting you
— clean bathrooms
— a freaking grass off leash dog park out back, well stocked with hose, water bowls, etc.
— next door to a Starbucks and Chick-​fil-​a
Seriously what else do you need? If you’re traveling down or up 95 with your pup, this is a perfect stop.

Wonderful place and wonderful idea for the traveler or local. They have two areas one for big dogs one for small. They have areas to clean after your dog as well as bowls and faucet for water and such. The people were very pleasant and helpful. Nice and clean area as well

Stopped here on the way down to Florida and it was nice to be able to take my pup and let him run around and stretch out. There is water bowls and a water spigot.

This place is AWESOME!!!
Nice place to get info, use the restrooms & a off-​leash DOG PARK!!! Next door to a Starbucks! We will be making this a regular stop as we travel north and south!!!
Amenities: 2 Separate fenced areas (one for large dogs and one for small) Poo bags, Water access, Trash cans, Free Dog bones and Paw wipes inside. Adirondack Chairs, benches and picnic tables for us humans and nice shady spots to «chillax» in between playing.
The building itself has lots of travel information, the staff we met were very nice, clean restrooms and a nice large parking lot!
Wish Florida would catch on with these places at the welcome center!!! Simply wonderful!!!

I give it a 4 only because I suspect if it has rained a lot parts may get a bit muddy. But therein at least ½ of it with grass to make it worth a stop. Many thanks to Halifax for providing this for our furry family members.

We had travelled 14 hours with our 2 dogs when we happened upon this little oasis. It had 2 ample fenced in areas, bags for clean up, fresh water, clean bowls, benches to sit on, shaded areas, a tennis ball and frisbee. Sensible rules, clearly posted.
Several «locals» showed up while we were there – friendly people.
Inside: clean restrooms, excellent coffee, knowledgable, sweet staff. This place is a wee bit off the beaten path, but very well worth the jaunt if you are traveling with dogs. Loved it.

We love this stop, they put a sign up on I-​95 and that’s how we found it. Late at night, we were all tired and our dog was thrilled to get out and run for a while. We now make this a destination on every trip! Good for food, spotless bathrooms, clean dog park, fresh water, we love this and are so thankful someone loves pets as much as we love ours, thank you!

Get a drink from Starbucks or food and sit and eat while you dog plays! Such an amazing find! we usually stop in this area on our way south and usually walk our dog near the starbucks. so, on our way there we saw this new visitors center with a dog run! so, we got food and came back to the dog park and let our dog play with another couples dog while we ate at the picnic tables. fresh water, dog bowls, poop bags, and free dog treats inside the visitors center!
