55Nice sniff spot! Easy to find. Quiet neighborhood. My dogs enjoyed it very much! First off leash adventure in quite a while. They are both now passed out on our couch! Great porch for the dog to lay on. Thank you!Rayanna A.

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.

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.

55The yard is fully fenced and has a water bowl and poop bags just increase you forget yours! The yards is clean and well maintained. They have really comfortable chairs to just hang out in while everyone takes a break from playing or just you! The yard is very open and that gives you a great view to watch over your pup, they are always in sight which is comforting! The place is easy to find. 10 out of 10 for us! We will definitely be back!

55This spot does the job. Very clean and has toys and a can for poop bags. We didn’t see any other dogs but this lot is in a neighborhood and I’m sure people walk their dogs by often. The fence is completely secure just mentioning incase that’s a concern for others. Thanks for sharing your spot!Lindsey B.

55The yard had lots of great sniffing spots for our Plott Hound rescue!!! The back yard is sloped. I have MS, but it was doable for me. Just a head’s up for anyone who has walking issues….. We will definitely be back!!!!!! Ann Marie T.

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 107 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 223 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.
