55Such a great spot! There's a variety of shade and sun. We enjoyed seating for the humans and the dogs were entertained sniffing the whole time! We appreciated Katie providing a couple of toys, bug spray, and water as well!Kim S.

55My birthday girl loved her visit to the pool! There was dog friendly steps & ledges. A grassy yard for her to get her water legs stretched out, roll around & dry off. Loved that there was a separate fence for the pool & the yard, so I could limit her to one area or the other. We will definitely be back to visit this summer! Heather H.

55Beautiful and very clean pool! My oldest dog LOVED it, my youngest is a bit hesitant with the water but still had fun playing with the toys and running around the yard/pool area. Would definitely come back again. Jennifer N.

55Absolutely wonderful and spacious backyard. The dogs had a wonderful time with the toys left out by the host, running around, and sniffing new smells. The grass was soft and lush, and the dogs enjoyed the cool areas in the shade under the trees. Derek K.

55Very beautiful space, fenced in and felt safe to let the dogs off leash to explore. Susie is very kind and communicative. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to bring their pups for a swim day!Tytianna W.

55Big lawn that is fully fenced. There is a shady part that the host has supplied with chairs, water, toys, hand sanitizer, peanut butter, and grooming supplies. My dog had a blast. There are other dogs in the other surrounding houses but they are not disruptive- my dog is slightly reactive and she did just fine with them. Carmela S.

55Amazing as always. It's not just the pool and yard but also the little touches. There was a welcome sign for me and the dogs. They were even nice enough to give them a treat because they had extras from a puppy party.Carly R.

55Susie and her husband were so attentive and very kind! The pool is gorgeous and despite our lab being afraid of the water- he was able to run a ton of energy out in the fenced in yard area! We would absolutely come back! Alexia R.

55Susan's Pool was a paradise for our girl. Scout was celebrating her first birthday, and when I told Susan that I wanted a birthday party... she went above and beyond. Se created a package that included dog and human cup cake, beverages for adults, water station for the puppies, tows, bubble bacon flavor. I can't take Susan enough for how much joy everybody and the puppies had. Can't wait to be back and thank you SusanPaola C.

55The pups loved the yard and had a blast playing fetch. The yard is spacious and with nice thick grass and plenty of areas to sit down. There was a water bowl but didn’t see a faucet. Just be mindful you will park by the street right in front of the house, instead of pulling in driveway. Overall, we really enjoyed it. I will definitely be back.Vanessa W.

FAQ About Matthews 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. 14% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Matthews 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 311 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 500 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.
