55We had so much fun! We found the place easily, and loved exploring the fields and pond. My border collie Delilah had the best time swimming and playing fetch in the water. We’ll definitely be back with the rest of our dogs soon! Caroline L.

55We’ve had my pup in a townhouse his whole life and he had so much fun running in more space than he’s ever had before! There were lots of toys and a water bowl with the hose hooked up and ready to be used. The grass was freshly mowed and the yard is just beautiful in the morning.isabella p.

55One of our favorite spots! So many good sniffs, secure fencing, shade and great communication with the host. They were very accommodating and our dog loved running around the yard and exploring. He found a little patch of mud and had so much fun! Kristin B.

FAQ About Chapel Hill 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.
