Apex does not currently have a dog park, but there are two dog parks in the planning stages. The first is a very small area across the street from Town Hall which will be part of Phase II construction at Hunter Street Park. The timeframe for Phase II has not been established, because it is tied to the development's building approvals for residential units or Council's approval of funding earlier.

The second is planned as part of the future Nature Park on Apex Barbecue Road. It’s laid out similar to the one at Cary’s Godbold Park but will be a little larger (about 1.5 acres). This park is tied to the sale of the remaining $6 million in park bonds approved in 2004. The Dog Park will be in the first phase of construction because of the demand for this amenity.  Construction is ultimately dependent on the Town Council's willingness to sell the remaining bond funds from 2004.
