55Loved this sniff spot! Booked it for my yorkie's 8th birthday :) She gets hot very easily, but she left her hour playtime not panting at all!! We will definitely be booking again. I was joined by my roommate and her dog as well - booked for us to use the pool and it was so worth it. Great sun even on a cloudy day. Fully fenced in with no worries of our small dogs escaping.

FAQ About Charleston 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 23% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Charleston 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 110 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 186 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
