The park is situated on land once known as the 'Greenway Farm' before its conversion into a protected public park.
It is managed by the North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy, a non-profit dedicated to the ecological health of the local watershed.
The park borders the North Chickamauga Creek, which serves as a major tributary to the Tennessee River.
The Greenway Farms property was historically associated with horse breeding and training, leaving behind structural remnants that can still be seen in the surrounding park.
The dog park area acts as a trailhead for several miles of interconnected, mostly flat, gravel and dirt hiking trails.
Greenway Farms Dog Park is a fenced, off-leash facility integrated into the broader 180-acre Greenway Farms park in Hixson, Tennessee. The park is managed by the North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy and features distinct sections for large and small dogs. The site is situated along the North Chickamauga Creek, providing immediate access to riparian walking trails. The dog park grounds consist primarily of natural turf and mulch surfaces. Visitors have access to a network of multi-use trails that extend beyond the fenced enclosure. The park occupies land that was once part of a historic farm, preserving open green space in a suburban landscape.

Owners must maintain visual contact and control of their dogs at all times; clean up pet waste immediately using provided stations.
