Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Albemarle, NC

Mimosa Meadow

Tucked away in the heart of Stanly County, this fully fenced backyard is a peaceful, pup-friendly haven where tails can wag freely and noses can explore to their heart’s content. Your pup will love roaming beneath the feathery shade of a blooming mimosa tree, chasing sunbeams or simply stretching out in the cool grass. Humans can relax on the deck, where there’s a table and chairs waiting for you to sit back and soak it all in. Need a drink break or cleanup? We’ve got water bowls available and easy hose access for cooling off or muddy paw rinses. There’s also a small cut flower garden you’re welcome to visit - feel free to snip a few blooms to brighten your day! 🌼 We do have two friendly resident dogs, but don’t worry, they’ll be inside during your visit to give your pup the run of the space.

Where Dogs can be Dogs

Facebook video for property description! https://www.facebook.com/reel/857593750109937 This is a very quiet place on a country road where your dogs can be off leash and free to explore nature. The full four acres are surrounded by a 5 foot fence and there is a small creek running through the property. There is a wide spot in the creek that is easily the most popular spot for our canine visitors! In the summer, though, the creek dries up until the fall rains come. You can always message us to find out if there is water in the creek before your visit. There are larger fields and open areas for your dogs to practice their retrieving, and there are many paths in the woods for hiking. The beginning of each path is marked with quartz stones to show you the way. You will also find several benches scattered throughout the property so that you can take a load off while your dogs run and play. When it rains the property can be quite wet in some areas, so bring boots and a towel to clean off your muddy (but happy!) dog. There is a full competition size agility field within the four acres. The agility equipment is completely fenced in and will be accessible only to those who have had at least one formal beginner's agility class. This is to keep you and your dog safe and to prevent misuse of the equipment. Please message the host when you book the spot and before your first visit to discuss your agility experience if you are wanting to access the equipment. **I would really like for your first visit to be on a weekend or a Tuesday (my day off) so that I can meet with you to show you some details about the property and discuss parking. After the first visit, book whenever you want! If you absolutely cannot make it these days for your first visit, we can work something out. 🙂
