Greensboro's Triad Market
Greensboro anchors the Piedmont Triad along with Winston-Salem and High Point. The city has a strong university presence — University of North Carolina Greensboro, NC A&T State University, and several other institutions — that creates an academic community with high pet ownership and professional service orientation. The Irving Park, Fisher Park, and Downtown Greensboro neighborhoods have the most active walking markets.
The Bog Garden at Stoney Creek Park is one of Greensboro's most distinctive outdoor destinations — a beautiful wetland garden with boardwalk trails through native plantings that is entirely dog-friendly. The Greenway trail system connecting multiple Greensboro parks provides the primary natural walking infrastructure.
