Confirmed from Coyner Springs Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sprawling park featuring walking paths, disc golf, pavilions and picnic spots.
What runners say about Coyner Springs Park
“Well maintained, just wish people would clean up after their dogs better because I don't think there are any staff to get what others miss.”
“The largest, most accomodating, most dog- and human-friendly dog park I've ever visited!”
What a great dog park! Lots of local owners come here to enjoy letting dogs off leash to run. Lots of trails, creeks, open spaces for them to enjoy. Dog water fontains too. Easy access of I-64 and SR340. Recommend 7-10am for best experience Please clean up after your dog as the rest of us do!
This is a Leash Free Dog Park. The city has tried to market it as a general park but the dog owners of Waynesboro have had the last say. Thousands of dogs a week perhaps more grace this park with their presence. It is their land.
Great park for a walk with the hound! Vast fields of off leash area. Trails through the woods, and a creek or two. People are, for the most part, friendly and responsible. There are always a few, though. The lower parking area has a shelter and water filling station for you and the hounds to get a cool drink.
Absolutely loved this gem of a park. There aren’t too many places I’ve found that allow dogs off leash aside from “small” fenced dog parks. This park is a dog’s paradise, and we had an absolute blast roaming the trails (be aware, very muddy after all the snow melting) and playing fetch in the huge open fields. Wow.
