55The spot is a beautiful oasis with PLENTY of room for the doggo to run around. The host (Heather) provided plenty of balls and a couple Chuckits, and even bug spray (DEET-free) which was a nice touch bc it's summer and there are bugs. Excited to book again next week!Elizabeth R.

55This is a very sweet spot - lovely, private, and the fence couldn't be better. It's so great for dogs to have new places to explore and investigate! The stairs going down are steep as noted, but I definitely have mobility challenges and they weren't a problem at all for me. There is a little sparrow who has a nest in the right hand drawer of the hutch however, who panics and bolts when you reach for the balls on the shelf - maybe those could be moved until her little ones fledge :) Very happy to have found this spot!Patricia R.

55We absolutely loved watching our dogs play in this yard - there was so much space to run around, explore, and sniff in the “wild” patch :) The best part is was the lovely picnic bench setup with shade, seating, and all the supplies we could need! Thanks for giving our pup a great bday morning!Benjamin T.

55This spot was great! It was just as described, and even came with balls and a Chuck It stick to throw them with which was a nice touch :) It felt private but close to town/ the River Arts. amaya k.

55My pup, Naia, had a great time! It’s very private feeling with nice, secure fencing. Plenty of space to run around and play. The host gave easy instructions and answered any questions I had. My dog really enjoyed playing with the many balls that were provided. Easy access to water from a hose and a bowl was also provided which was useful. Mattie S.

55A very sweet spot! Well maintained and cared for - with a nice gentle slope and a gorgeous majestic shade tree! A classic garden bench, a jug of clean water - couldn't have been nicer. We really enjoyed our time there! Many thanks to the host!Patricia R.

55What an awesome spot! Big enough space to get out all the zoomies but not so big you lose track of your pup. My Jasper guy had a blast! The lilacs all over the field were a plus too 🤗Page B.

FAQ About Asheville 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Asheville 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 115 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 234 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
