55What a wonderful spot with trees, toys, doggie bags/bin, water, drinking water, doggie pools, and a thoughtfully provided dog towel. There is a bench for two people under a tree with some balls and a chuck-it too. Maria F.

55My dogs loved being able to run and play without distractions or fear of other dogs that might not play well. And the kiddie pool was a great addition for when they got too hot! Will definitely be booking again Kaylon B.

55We had so much fun! We found the place easily, and loved exploring the fields and pond. My border collie Delilah had the best time swimming and playing fetch in the water. We’ll definitely be back with the rest of our dogs soon! Caroline L.

FAQ About Chapel Hill Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
