55Amazing spot to just take your time and enjoy the peace. The creek was a wonderful experience for the older dog to teach the younger joys of just being a dog. Trails are wide, well marked and maintained. Perfect exercise for all. Judy C.

55Pretty clean & trails were marked clearly. The host was kind enough to leave fresh water, a map and even a handwritten note! Our fur kids really had fun, especially jumping in the creek.Lupe C.

55This was my first experience with sniffspot and I could not have asked for better one. There was a lovely welcome note at the entrance to the trail. As well as hydration/bug spray stations throughout. The map and marked trees made it very easy to navigate. And most importantly my pup loved it! Nora C.

55Awesome place. My super energetic German shepherd absolutely loved it. Lots of room to run, trails, open fields with space to throw a ball. Small creek that she thoroughly enjoyed and water stops along the way. Will return! James M.

55Great place for sniffs. Trails were wide and well marked. A lot of wildlife uses this area and my dog stopped to sniff every deer track, raccoon track and every pile of pine straw. Some elevation change on the gold trail but nothing too difficult. Parking was clear and well marked. Will be back before deer season. Kris L.

55Beautiful property! Directions were clear and trails were well marked. I appreciate having places like this to explore with my reactive pup, where we both feel safe and can relax without concerns of off leash dogs and other shenanigans. We’ll be back! Courtney M.

55My dog had a blast running around and playing in the creek! We are definitely planning on coming more often now that it’s not so hot! The trails were easy to follow and I left my dog pick which way to go and didn’t even get lost haha. Definitely recommend! Izabella M.

55Trail is easy to find and follow, well maintained, with a creek and a couple small hills. There was even a welcome “kit” at the trail head with a map, water, bug spray, and tennis balls! (A second water station with more bug spray about half way too). We will definitely be back! Bailey H.

55A lovely, private walk in the woods! Sandy pine trails, plenty of shade, a creek for the pups to wade in, and an open field to frolic. Perfect place to get away from the city. The host was very helpful and communicative, and had a map of the trails waiting for us at the entrance, along with bug spray and bottled water. The spot was easy to find, and the trails were very well marked. You couldn’t ask for more! Will definitely return!Erin M.

Crystal's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Gaston | Sniffspot
55Crystal was very sweet and accommodating to our dogs. They had plenty of shade, water, and room to run around. Because the property is properly and fully fenced in we don't have to worry about our dogs getting loose or running off. For all the amenities we were surprised how cheap it was compared to everyone else. Very nice place overall.Devin N.

FAQ About Gaston 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.
