Great space!!! We went in a hot day and there was plenty of shade.....the area was clean and very large would highly recommend

Larkins Run is a beautiful place and very well taken care of. It’s a relief that I have a place to bring my dog whenever I want so she can run around and relax off leash. Today it was very hot so she only ran around a bit but she still enjoyed herself. She walked through the agility course, (too hot to run) and chased about 3 or 4 balls. Then took a slow stroll around the perimeter of the park. We brought water and treats so she relaxed in the shade after all that. Great place to bring your dog if you live in a condo or apt.

First time visit to a Sniffspot with my lab mix and it was a great place for him to run. There is plenty of shade,toys and agility equipment. Will definitely be returning

This was my fist sniffspot and the dogs loved it. Plenty of space to run or walk around in and plenty of shade to rest in. My dogs could care less about the boarding dogs barking, no issue for us. Lots of fun for them, thanks for sharing your place, we'll be back.

This was our first Sniffspot and it was great! Easy to find and access. My dog loved all the space to explore and sniff.

Perfect place for off leash interaction! Cleaner than a dog park, private and plenty to do. Agility gear is great, toys for fetch and plenty of room to run. My beagle says it's a Sniffer Paradise!

Great place to let our pups run and get some energy out! The fully fenced in yard was the perfect size, and there was a selection of different toys for the dogs to play with! Will definitely be coming back!

Ruhama K.

We brought our two dogs and they had a great time. It was fun for our Vizsla who’s had some agility training. Our little dog that isn’t social with most other dogs enjoyed it so much. We’ll go again with my sister’s dog when she visits. No complaints!!!! So fun.

Thor’s favorite place! Such a big area for him to run and plenty of things for him to sniff as well.

Diane D.

October 2024

Nice safe fenced in spot for my pup to get out all his energy. There were toys to play fetch with, and to climb on over and through. Five stars!

Janet S.

October 2024

Lots of toys. Dogs had a fun time. Lots of barking as it is also a boarding kennel, but we had a good time and will be back!

Paula H.

November 2024

Well designed entrance gates. A large site with a variety of small ledges and flat areas. Sturdy fencing. My rescue dog is easily aggravated by barking dogs but we had no such problems at Larkins. Limited toys and water so bring your own. We visited twice from out-of -state with two other family dogs. Highly recommended

Victoria F.

My pup had a great time at this spot! Lots of space to run and sniff as well as fun obstacles.

Absolutely lovely spot ! Plenty of toys to play with and Greta loved exploring the agility equipment. Super spacious and clean. Would love to return next time we are in the area :)

It was as expected. Clean and spacious. Unfortunately we did not stay long as it was rainy and the agility equipment was slippery.

FAQ about our Durham dog parks
