55Very nice yard big and flat. My dog is kind of lazy so he did a few perimeter checks and then bc of the heat just wanted to chill in the shade so we were thankful for the big tree. Thanks again! Seymour B.

55Very clean and bigger than the pictures look. There were balls available as well as poppie bags, a bowl, and a hose. The tree swing was a great plus as well. Marissa M.

55Rebecca’s yard was sooooo perfect for us and our dog. Clean. Shady and tidy amenities. Our dog was in heaven sniffing and running and I never had to worry for his safety. The dog(s?) next door were out but the wood fence made that trigger no big deal. It was GREAT!Rainee D.

55This back yard was great! Rebecca provided lots of tennis and chuck-it balls to play with. The water bowl provided was very large. Water was easy to find and use. The gazebo was no longer there but this was not an issue at 8am because the yard was surrounded by trees and there was plenty of shade. At least half of the big yard was covered with shade at all times. There were at least four chairs to sit in and some tables for your items to stay off the ground. I would bring towels or wipes to clean off your dog after playing there was some larger dirt areas that your dog could get dirty in. We only saw some neighbors behind the house but our dogs did not seem to mind them. There were no other animals or people around. Our dogs loved this yard and we would definitely come back. Austin Y.

55This spot was so perfect for my malinois, I adopted him a few months ago and we’re still working on some training so this quiet place to get out energy, explore, and train was so perfect for him. The creek was his favorite part! We will certainly be back!Abby M.

55Such a great space! Plenty of woods and trails to explore and a creek for water play. It is obviously pretty muddy, so definitely wear clothes and shoes that can get dirty. We had a great time and will be coming back for sure! Megan M.

FAQ About Raleigh 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. 9% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Raleigh 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 281 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 486 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.
