55It was our first time visiting. The pool and toys were great, and everything was nice and clean! We took our puppy to learn to swim. She had a lot of fun and has napped hard afterwards! It was so much fun! We look forward to our next visit.Roxanne J.

Deedra's 24 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Knoxville | Sniffspot
55We had a great time exploring the woods and trails, but the dogs seemed to love splashing in the creek most of all. They sniffed the chickens in the coop and sprinted through the woods at max speed. The directions tell you to park behind the house, and although you can't really see it from the road at all, just trust that it's there! The woods were very private and fun to explore.Cait H.

55Had a great time. Grounds were clean, there was a lot of shade available, plenty of nice places to sit while the dogs played. Plenty of items were available for the dogs like a first aid kit, toys, a bowl for water, etc. Fencing was excellent, no concerns with the dogs getting out. And most importantly, the dogs had a great time.Andrew P.

55What a wonderful little oasis in west knoxville for my furry friend. The property was beautiful, and my dog really enjoyed the well manicure lawn. I got to give him a well needed bath, too. The hosts were great and will definitely be back. Kelly C.

55The property is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. My dog saw his first skunk 🦨 it was a baby and just hopped off. Very grateful for the large amount of water left out. Host was responsive. Heather G.

55Nice pool and yard. If you have an older large dog, be careful of first step into the pool as it is pretty small and my pup stumbled a few times getting out. He's use to a larger area to get out.Kathryn M.

55Great large area! Quiet, easy to find shade. Really did wonders for our dogs. We live in Wisconsin and my parents live in Knoxville. They have a condo with no backyard. This allowed us to give them some outside exercise and play time. Highly recommend! Ashley N.

55This is by far the best sniff spot in the west Knoxville area! Absolutely love our time at this park. It was so peaceful and was nice to allow my girl to play while I caught up on some reading. Julie M.

55The yard had lots of space to run and play and the kiddos were fascinated by the cabana. There was shade around the fence line for everyone to cool off from the sun. The above ground pool was tall enough that I didn't have to worry about the kiddos breaking the rules about not using it. Some neighbors dogs were barking part of the time, but were not visible. We had a good time and will be visiting again. Heather S.

55Peaceful little hidden gem, with maintained grassy paths to meander with your joyful dogs... so grateful to have found this little oasis! Brian thoughtfully prepared a map, weeded a path down to the creek, and provided a big bowl of fresh water in a shaded resting spot.Deborah R.

FAQ About Knoxville 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 17% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Knoxville area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 97 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 198 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
