55Great backyard! It’s super big and has all the things you could need: snacks, bug spray, toys, citronella candles, pooper scooper, wipes, hand sanitizer, and water. I brought my foster pup, Cora, here to get some energy out. It was super hot today (the shade helped!) so we didn’t do too much playing, but we both enjoyed being outdoors. Cora wished there was a little bit more water available that wasn’t quite as hot, but overall, it was a great experience. Thanks for accommodating us on short notice!Erika K.

55Wow! What a perfect place. Everything humans and canines could hope for! The owners keep it immaculate, with a lovely tree shaded area including a fire pit surrounded by citronella candles and torches. There are sunny areas and shaded areas with lots of room for the pups to wear themselves out. We're gonna be regulars for sure! Thanks 😊 Wendy C.

55I threw my dog a going away party before we move out of state, and this was the perfect place for it! Kelsey really did think of every little detail and it made me feel at ease knowing that everything was all set up for us; all we had to do was show up! Mika and her friends had so much fun. Highly recommend! Camila V.

55This was one of the best spots I’ve taken my dog to! The yard was a good size and very well kept. There was a lot of seating/shade and the added amenities (toys, water, poop scoop, bug repellent candles) were a nice touch. Would definitely book again!Kianna P.

FAQ about our Waco 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waco 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 196 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 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.
