Whitewater Center Off Leash is a 70-acre dog park located at 5000 Whitewater Center Parkway in Charlotte, NC, operated by the U.S. National Whitewater Center, a nonprofit dedicated to outdoor recreation access. Opened in March 2024, the facility features 2.5 miles of trails, three ponds, beaches, a dock, and a dog wash station where dogs can run off-leash while owners can enjoy food and beverages at the newly constructed Barley House.
