55The perfect spot! It was easy to find, the field was clean, and the fence was secure! There were plenty of toys to play with and clean water for the dogs and options for the humans to sit and watch their dogs play, if desired.Jamie B.

55Wide open, quiet and fenced-in field with thoughtful accompaniments for both dogs and their owners! Definitely worth a visit if you have a buddy who enjoys long-range fetch, frisbee, or sniffing/exploring around. It was beautiful during the fall. Very much recommended. Hailey M.

FAQ About Catawba 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.
