20 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Stem, NC

Unfenced
20 acres

Imagine Disneyland for your dog! We have 20 acres of open land, perfect for your furry friend to run and play. It's a secluded open-space forest where they can get plenty of exercise and even enjoy the nearby creek. I hope your pup enjoys this open forest as much as mine does! **Please be aware even though we try our best to maintain the fence between us and our neighbors property, there might be some new holes we have not had time to get to. It is recommended that your dog has good recall in case they get distracted by the neighbors’ horses or they are tempted to Go through a hole. PLEASE BE AWARE** This is a rural area, and it is possible that neighbors may occasionally be shooting on their property. While this does not happen often, I wanted to let you know this is a possibility.

Evelyn's 10 Acre Unfenced Water Front Private Dog Park outside Burlington

Unfenced
10 acres

PROPERTY IS UNDER CONTRACT TO CLOSE MAY 30. We have truly loved having all our guests enjoy the space and hope between now and then you take advantage as much as you can. We have also shared this with the new owners in the hopes they continue to allow dogs this special retreat. Thank you to everyone for making our place your special place. ❤️ 10 acres bordered by active electric fenced in cow and horse pasture. Lower property offers lake views and animal access from shore (people are not allowed to wade). 5+ acres are mowed, and an additional 2+ acres of trails and foot paths. Quiet and serene location far from roadways or neighbors. Let your dog run leash free or bring your GPS, wireless electric fencing system with you, and relax while your dog roams and discovers. We are animal friendly, but dogs will be inside or gone, and cats will either be inside or find trees while your pet enjoys the space. We do have a pool that is not dog friendly.

First timers: use discount code PupLove14 for $2 off! Welcome to my private dog park! It’s a great space for pups to explore and relax without worrying about other dogs or animals. I have an 8 foot privacy fence surrounding one side of the yard and a 5-6 foot fence along the rest. The gate can be latched but is never locked. I have grassy, gravelly, and mulchy areas for the pups and a seating area for the humans. There is also a hose for filling your water bowls.

We installed this fence for our reactive dog, and unexpectedly said goodbye to him last year. It's now the perfect place for you and your pup! There isn't much to it, which makes it a great spot for dogs. There are places to sniff and explore, and very quiet neighbors. You can park in the cul-de-sac and make your way to the back. Easy, large, private, and pretty hard to destroy.

Janet's Durham City Bark Park

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

I have a fully fenced in yard. There is one gap, but we have covered it with cinder blocks. It is a 6 ft privacy fence, so you shouldn’t see the neighbors. One set of next door neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out. Please keep dogs on leash when outside of the yard. Thank you! Out in the yard there will be balls for your pup to play with, a water bowl, and a hose. We can also set up a tent we use for vendor events when it’s sunny or raining for shade/coverage. Just let us know in advance. There is also shade from a large tree in the yard. If you need a dog first aid kit, we will have one in the house along with things like water for humans, snacks for pups and humans, and a restroom for humans to use. If you need a towel for your pup, let us know, and we’ll be glad to give you a dog towel to use. We will bring things out to you. These are only available if we are home. Street parking is available at all times. You may park in the driveway, but please ask first in case one of us is going to have to leave (or coming back) while you are there.

Frequently asked questions about Nelson dog parks

What amenities do private dog parks in Nelson offer that public parks don't?

Nelson private dog parks offer amenities you'll never find at public facilities: swimming pools for water-loving dogs, agility equipment for training, climate-controlled indoor spaces for year-round use, hiking trails on private property, and secure fencing customized for different dog sizes. Hosts provide poop bags, water stations, toys, and even dog wash stations. 1/2 acre fenced in for dog play! is especially known for exceptional amenities. Every Nelson listing shows exactly what's included—no surprises.

Are there fully fenced private dog parks in Nelson?

Yes! Most of Nelson's 202 Sniffspot locations are fully fenced. Use the "fully fenced" filter to find secure enclosures with detailed fencing specs: height (4ft, 6ft, 8ft+), material (wood, chain-link, vinyl), and gap information. This is crucial for escape artists, puppies learning boundaries, or reactive dogs who need contained space. Nelson listings show fencing photos so you can verify security before booking.

How clean are private dog parks in Nelson compared to public ones?

Significantly cleaner. Public dog parks in Nelson are maintained by overworked city staff and often littered with waste from dozens of dogs daily. Sniffspot hosts in Nelson maintain their own spaces and take pride in cleanliness since it directly affects their reviews and bookings. Many Nelson hosts provide fresh poop bags, empty trash regularly, and sanitize water stations. Plus, with only one booking at a time, waste accumulation is minimal. Check reviews to see cleanliness ratings.

What types of dog parks can I find in Nelson?

Nelson has 202 diverse options: fully fenced dog parks for specific training activities, small dog parks for different environments, and dog fields for varied experiences. Want a backyard for simple off-leash time? We've got it. Need acres of trails for hiking? Check. Looking for water access or agility obstacles? Available. Browse by park type to see what matches your dog's interests, then filter by location within Nelson to find convenient options.

Can I book Nelson dog parks on short notice?

Usually yes! Many Nelson Sniffspot locations offer same-day or next-day availability, and most bookings can be made instantly without waiting for host approval. Unlike public dog parks that might be crowded during peak times, Nelson private parks let you reserve exactly when you need them—early morning before work, midday breaks, or evening exercise. Check individual listings for real-time availability and booking policies.

Do Nelson dog parks have water access?

Many do! Filter Nelson's 202 locations by amenities to find dog parks with swimming pools, natural ponds, creeks, or beach access. Water features are perfect for Nelson's hot summer days or for dogs who love to swim. Each listing specifies water type and depth, plus whether it's safe for swimming or just wading. Some Nelson hosts provide life vests or shallow kiddie pools for water-nervous dogs.

Are there indoor dog parks in Nelson?

Yes! Nelson has climate-controlled indoor options perfect for extreme weather, rainy days, or year-round exercise. Indoor Nelson locations typically feature rubberized flooring (easier on joints), artificial turf, or padded surfaces. They're especially popular for puppy training, senior dogs needing gentle surfaces, or reactive dogs benefiting from enclosed environments. Filter by "indoor" to see Nelson's covered and climate-controlled options.

What's the best time to visit dog parks in Nelson?

With Sniffspot, any time works since bookings are private! Unlike public dog parks that are crowded during peak hours (early mornings, evenings, weekends), you don't have to worry about timing in Nelson. Book whenever fits your schedule—midday when public parks are empty, dawn for cool weather, or late evening for convenience. Many Nelson locations have lighting for after-dark visits. The flexibility is one of the biggest advantages over public parks.
