Rocky Top Dog Park offers a number of flexible membership
plans in addition to per-visit, pay-at-the-gate
admission rates for non-member visitors.
Here
is an overview of membership plans (also see Frequently
Asked Questions at the bottom of this page):
The
"Rambunctious Rover" 7-day Membership
- Unlimited 7-day/week key-tag access to all park
facilities
The
"Fifi" Weekday Membership:
Access on Mondays through Fridays until 4:30 pm (you
can stay past 4:30, just have to enter by 4:29). This is a
work-day only plan. There is a nice group that comes at noon time
M-F. This plan also includes all hours (6 AM - 9 PM) on major holidays.
The
"Garden" 7-day Membership:
7-day/week access to the Garden only: three smaller,

for puppy play, Small Dog Socials, and other events
(this membership plan does not include access to the main area, the one with the swim pond)

Full park access for ten visits within 12 months
from date of purchase, to be used on any day and

Rocky
Top also welcomes visitors who are not members to
use the park on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Non-member options include:
Non-member
(visitor) rates:
Pay-at-the-gate (visitor) admission to the park
is available to non-members between the hours
of 12 pm and 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Please
note that visitor admission hours vary with the
season! It is a good idea to check the website
or phone ahead to confirm hours before coming
to the park! Visitors entering the park during
visitor admission hours are then entitled to remain
at the park for as long as they wish up until
closing time. At the end of your visit, if you
decide to become a member, your entrance fee is
deducted from the membership fee. At
times other than the weekend Visitor Hours, the park gates are locked,
and the park is not attended by staff.
Important:
Members and visitors must comply with park policies
and must provide WRITTEN proof of current vaccinations
prior to their first admittance to the park - please
review the requirements for park use on the Hours
and Policies page before bringing your dog to
the park!

Frequently-asked
questions about Rocky Top:
Is
the park open today? YES! The park is open 7 days a week from 6
AM to 9 PM for park members with key tags. Please note that the only time
frame during which non-members can show up at the park without calling
ahead is during the designated Visitor Hours. This point is being
emphasized due to the fact that people DO
show up at the park outside the Visitor Hour time frame and then
question why no park staff is there to help them out. Rocky Top
is a privately-operated park and is a small, hobby business; please
understand that it is not economical to have staff at the park during
all park hours.
When
can I sign up to become a member? The best time to sign up is
during the Visitor Hours. You do not have to call ahead &
make an appointment if you plan to arrive at the park during the
Visitor Hours. As indicated elsewhere on this site, the Visitor
Hours are limited (mostly weekend afternoons). Should you decide that
you would like a membership, on say - Monday morning, and do not want to wait
until the weekend, please call to make an appointment. Park staff
may be able to
meet you at the park that very day, as the owner has to stop by almost
every day to do a little maintenance. However, do not be
surprised if the appointment is set for the next day.
Can I just try out the park before joining?
Yes!
Come to Rocky Top's "Visitor Hours" (pay at the gate). At the end of
your visit, should you decide to join the park, your entrance fee will go
towards your membership. My sincerest apologies up front,
but I cannot meet you at the park outside of the Visitor Hours time
frame so that you can 'try out' the park. That is what the
Visitor Hours are for. The owner does not live on the property. We are holding Visitor Hours once a week
in the evening to give you an opportunity to try out the park during
the week (seasonal!). Check the top of this page for the schedule.
Ready for a membership? YES! I will meet you at the park (
perhaps not that very day ).
Can I join for just a couple of months?
Yes, sign up with the Easypay system ($15 sign-up fee). You will be
assigned a billing cycle date. Whenever you want
to cancel your membership, just send notification
before your billing cycle date. Or, take the quarterly
option, and when your payment becomes due at the
end of three months, just send notification.
Can I drop out for the winter months?
Yes, you can easily drop out if you are on the Easypay
system. As long as your membership does not remain
inactive for more than 3 months, you will not have
to repay the registration fee.
Do
I have to wait until the first of the month to join?
No, you can join any day of the month.
Do I have to be a resident of South Brunswick Township?
NO! Rocky Top is a privately owned & operated park,
not associated with any municipality.
