55Beautiful location! Large shade trees. The horses didn’t come up to the fence and there was one deer in the neighbors yard that ran off when my dog barked. I would definitely go back! Laurie K.

55Great spot to let the dogs run without any swimming spots (although mine love to swim, I don't want them wet all the time). Very clean with good fencing. Caroline V.

FAQ About Waxhaw 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.
