Swannanoa, North Carolina

Description

A fun place to fetch, play, and relax. Do not be fooled by the name; anyone from anywhere is welcome! This spot is named in honor of my hometown, but is not exclusive to only those residents. Spot details: 30' L x 20' W chain-link fenced lot, so it is ideal for small to medium-sized dogs. The spot is grassed, features these features in the winter: a natural stump for "King of the Stump" play! Human counterparts also have 2 portable chairs stored outside the fence (under the tarps for protection), and a box with dog towels, toys, and other finds! In the summer, features include: a kiddie pool, 2 shaded corners, a Doggie Paddle Water Fountain, a non-tipping water bowl, and the same natural stump for "King of the Stump" play! Human counterparts also have 2 chairs outside the fence and 2 inside the fence for toe dipping in the pool on hot days, 2 adjustable umbrellas, a table, and a box with dog towels, toys, and other finds! Parking accommodates 2 vehicles. NOTE: As bookings at this Sniffspot increase, more features are planned, so stay tuned!

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There is a mother black bear and 2 cubs that inhabit the community. The yard is located on a dead-end road, and typically, there is minimal traffic. Disclaimer: With school being out the neighborhood kids are riding their motorbike/ATV up and down the road at various times. Also, on the weekends, the neighbors can be heard mowing and weedeating. The driveway is close to a curve, so caution is recommended and looking for oncoming traffic in both directions.

Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I am a native of Swannanoa. Due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, I wanted to provide a semi-private place for doggies and their humans to come and hang out in a very special place that I call home, and to ultimately honor my hometown and the amazing individuals that live here! Enjoy! :)

#3 Fun field for a furry frenzy 3- Field of Dreams in Fletcher

Fully Fenced

4 acres

This is the best dog park in all of Buncombe County! Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac Warehouse in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoys off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fencing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, and hammock are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided. I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. No Digging! PLEASE! All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!

Pondside Paws Park

Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.
