Tega Cay Dog Park Re-opens In A New Location

The Tega Cay Parks and Recreation website has been updated with new information for the “Central Bark” dog park. The dog park was relocated to New Gray Rock Road.

The dog park is approx. 6,000 sq. ft. and has both open space and trees. There are benches as well as
doggie stations.

New rules have been adopted to keep the park and users safe. Here are some of the new rules:
