55This spot was super spacious! There was plenty of toys and water. Also my dog did get a bit muddy because it had rained earlier, but there were pet-safe wet wipes supplied as well so I could clean her up before we left. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. Emma N.

55We had such a wonderful time at this Sniffspot! The yard was beautifully maintained with plenty of grassy space for the dogs to run and explore, and the underground pool was a huge hit—my dogs had an absolute blast swimming and splashing around. The area felt very safe, clean, and private, which gave me peace of mind while they played freely. It was the perfect way to spend an hour. Thank you for creating such a fun and welcoming space for dogs to enjoy!Jessica C.

Dawn's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Knoxville | Sniffspot
55Very spacious yard, lots of trees and shade, nice, quiet neighborhood. Host provided toys and fresh water. It was more of a natural, sloped and uneven terrain as opposed to a level lawn, but my doggies had tons of fun exploring and the sloped hill definitely wore them out. Would recommend wearing close-toed shoes. There is also an open, raised deck that my dogs could get under, and yard equipment present. Wasn’t an issue for us because my dogs are large and I was able to keep them away from the area, but it could be a challenge for guests with smaller dogs/puppies. Rexanna B.

55Easy to find and the host had everything you could possibly need. Yard was so big and had shaded and sunny spots- which was perfect so the dogs could cool off in between running and playing. This was my first time using sniffspot and this will be the only place I use now! It was nice knowing my dog could run around with her dog bestie in a safe place (she’s dog selective so dog parks are a no go for us). The dogs are worn out and I feel relieved to have such a great place for my dog to play now. Cheyenne A.

55We had a good time with our dog, his first time swimming. She had everything we would need and was very nice. Big enough pool for us and the dog. And just a good time on a hot day. Rachel L.

55The area was easy to find with the Sniffspot logo on the gate, easy to park inside. There were toys, floats, life jackets, water bowls for the pets... water bottles for the humans, chairs and shade. I don't think the host forgot to leave anything out! 5 stars all the way. Taylor K.

55Excellent space for dogs to explore, play, and swim. Very clean, well thought out, so many accommodations, and exceptional hosts. Our first sniff spot and my pups loved it, even in the rain. Loved being able to drive in and unload/load up my two dogs. Plenty of toys, doggy life jackets (though if you have big big dogs - best to bring your own to ensure proper fit), lots of seating areas, great grassy area, and sun lounging spots for both pups and humans. Highly recommend. Crystal M.

FAQ About Knoxville 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. 16% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Knoxville area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 90 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 184 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.
