55Really nice and communicative host! The yard was nice and spacious, there were neighbor dogs barking but not on immediate neighbors so it didn't bother my dogs. It's super nice that there was a place to throw away poop bags, we've had to take the bags with us other places and it's so much nicer to not have to bring them in our car. Rachel H.

55A nice sniffspot at a good price, nothing fancy but a good wide open space for the dogs to run and sniff. Everything was as pictured with easy access and no disturbances. We really enjoyed our visit.Lauren R.

55This spot was very cute! Lots of sticks for my doggo to play with. I will note that there were a few mosquitos that were pretty annoying but the sniffspot owner was nice enough to leave out some bug spray. I would suggest bringing a water bowl and some toys to make use of the huge space but overall it was great place for my doggo to run around and play. Hailey J.

55Perfect for what we needed and so grateful for the last minute availability! Grass was pretty high and some trash debris scattered in the yard, which could pose a problem for those with sneaky/curious/mouthy dogs. Definitely do a walk through before unleashing the pack to be safe. Thank you! 💙✨🐶Ken D.

55Such a pretty afternoon outside, we are grateful we got to use this space to play with our dogs! There was so much space to play, and it was nice to know it was all secured. Extra points for the water available! Macey G.

55Very happy to be the first Sniffspot visitor to Big Oaks Private Dog Park in Buda. Both my 9 yo and 2yo Pharaoh Hounds loved it. The Park was the perfect size for them and always found something new to keep them occupied. I met the owner, Elaine, while I was there. She is very nice and hospitable. I'm very impressed with her and what she has going on at Big Oaks. As you can see in the last pic, the 9yo was ready to pass out and the 2yo was worn out. It should be a restful night for all of us.

55Elaine is an absolute delight and the big oaks dog park is perfect for new smells and play! The agility equipment is in great condition and water and poop scooper is in the park. Plenty of chairs to relax in under the tree in shade. If you’re looking for a new spot for your pups to enjoy I would definitely recommend!! The dog park is very close to a daycare/training facility so you can hear the dogs there and see them being dropped off. However it’s far enough from the actual park that the dogs don’t interfere with your visit. The park and facility overall seems very organized and professional.Ari L.

55Awesome spot! My dog loved it. I personally loved the agility equipment. There aren’t many places for rentals that have dog walks, a full A frame and a totter. If you need a place to brush up or practice on some agility equipment this place is a great option.
Even if you aren’t interested in that there is plenty of shaded space for dogs to hang out around and enough space to play frisbee or fetch. Latania F.

55My two dogs had a really fun time in this large and interesting backyard. So many unique things within the yard and lots of room to run and explore. The yard was super clean. Elaine was great to work with. Can't wait to visit again!Jennifer B.

55This is just the most amazing spot to have found and I’m so lucky to live close by! It is serene, quiet, shaded with plenty of seating to relax, great equipment for the pups and tons of room to run. The water/hose was clutch in the summer heat. Will definitely be back! Sarah B.

55It was great! Very clean. The directions were super difficult on Google though. It kept taking me to a gate on the other side of the property so just be aware of that. Also you can hear some of the neighbors dogs barking so if you have a super reactive dog be aware. My dog and I had an amazing time otherwise. The equipment was great and the fence was secure Maeghan H.

55My boys always love coming here. Very nice size for them to run at full speed. There are also a lot of things for them to sniff and explore. I wish I could get them to use the agility equipment that's available, but they are too occupied with running around for me to get them focused... LOL. Marc S.

55Nani had such a fantastic time running around this sniffspot. There's so much room to run around and play even if your dog won't use the agility equipment. Will definitely make this a regular stop for us. Emory W.

FAQ about our Buda 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 127 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
