55This is a beautiful sniff spot! The location is wonderful, the spot is large, perfectly enclosed (for medium+ dogs, small dogs could get out if they wanted to), and they're kind enough to provide water, bowls, and more toys than my pup knew what to do with. I totally recommend this spot!Alejandra M.

55This was great! The fence was consistent through the whole area, my sneaky dog was sticking her head through it trying to get out, but it's exactly as described! The shed was a great touch, very nice of them to offer bags, bowls, water, toys, and seating! Will definitely come back, Brandy and I had a great time.Alyssa S.

55The spot was absolutely beautiful! Our two dogs loved running around and playing with the toys provided. Like it is said the internet connection wasn’t great the closer we got but very easy directions and maps still was able to get us there. Can’t wait to go again! Liz C.

55Great, safe spot. Pip loves it. She can run to her heart's content. Great location and amenities. The little shed has water, toys, wind break. There is a porta-potty for those of us who don't squat in open fields.
There is also the agility course that can be added on.Kathryn M.

55Great spot and everything your dog may need. The shaded area for our dog to cool down for a bit after chasing his ball is especially appreciated, along with the water. Cannot wait to take him back Ethan C.

55We enjoyed our visit even though it was raining. I see improvements made since my last visit. I like how the gates have lattice on top and PVC on bottom to help secure area. The shed was nice with the rain and the dogs loved it.Kelly S.

55All I can say is WOW!!! Beautiful fenced in area with lots of green grass for the dogs to run and explore. The owner of the property met us as we came in and showed us where everything was. She is very friendly and hospitable. Whatever you need is right there. There were chairs for sitting, toys for the dogs, water, waste bags and first aid kits. I have never seen anything like it. There is so much space for the dogs to be free. Truly a great experience and we will definitely take our dogs back.
Oh yea, booking this was a breeze. There were plenty of time slots to choose from and her prices are more than reasonable. Laura P.

55This was a wonderful place to take our dogs. There is lots of open space to throw and ball, and everything is set up with attention to detail. There is a convenient bucket to put waste bags, some toys that can be used, and it is very pretty. Thanks!! We will be back for sure!Jennifer B.

FAQ about our Catawba 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Catawba 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 23 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 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.
