55This was our first time trying a sniff spot and both our senior and adolescent dogs loved it! Lots of open space to run with some shaded areas for the dogs to cool off and sniff.Kaylie D.

55Great spot as usual. Towards the end of our visit there was a small dog being walked directly along the fence line so if your dog is dog reactive just be careful! Otherwise love this spot! Samantha T.

55Great spot! My two dogs loved sniffing around. There was plenty of space to run, dog bowls, toys and places to sit. The yard was easy to find and clearly marked. Cannot wait to come back. Amanda X.

55We were so impressed with this spot! It has a huge space for the dogs to run, tons of provided toys, comfortable (and clean) seating, poop bags & pail, and water bowls. The space was clean and well maintained, and the fencing is secure. Very convenient parking, and the spot was easy to find. It was hot today, so we appreciated the shady spots for the dogs to cool down along the edges of the field. We drove 30 mins for this spot & it was very much worth it! Can’t wait to come back :) Caroline L.

55Love this spot - I took my puppy twice this weekend! We are working on her recall, and I don’t feel comfortable letting her go in an open spot just yet so this place is perfect! Tons of room for her to runaround and play! I especially love that she can dig a little here!Jamie H.

55Great open area to play. We were here a few weeks ago with a group from our breeder and had a great time, so came back with our two pups. One loved running in the open field chasing a ball, and the other searching for treats. Secure fencing all around and a well maintained field.Mark W.

FAQ About Wake Forest 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.
