55This sniff spot is perfect for my excited reactive dog -- we live in an apartment without a yard. And to be able to take a quick break from walking the neighborhood gauntlet of dogs and squirrels is necessary for my sanity! I loved sitting in this peaceful yard with my coffee while my dog happily ran and sniffed and enjoyed his freedom. I'll be coming back often! Thanks for opening your yard to us :)
55All visits so far have been exactly what me and my pup needed while living in an apartment! The yard is tidy and spacious and we will be regulars going forward.
55Patrick had a blast exploring the variety of smells to be had, had plenty of room for his zoomies. Great space!
55Love this spot!
55Great spot! Definitely recommend bringing bug spray if it’s rained recently, otherwise really fun place!
55Lovely space! My dogs had a great time running around and sniffing.
55Great spot for my pup to play! Easy to find, good mix of sun and shade, and all the essentials like seating/water/poop bags.
55This yard is darn near perfect for my little dog and me—it’s good size and super close to my home so really convenient. It’s very clean, shady, and secure. My older corgi is a determined sniffer and burrower into small spaces and yet she wasn’t able to get into any trouble 😆. I’m looking forward to coming back!
55Clean backyard with plenty of space for our dogs to run around. I love that it is close to downtown Durham, just 2 miles from us. The hose came in handy—it was 91 degrees. Needless to say, our dogs had a great time.
55Simple spacious yard, well fenced in and Janet was so kind and responsive. My dog is tired and happy.

Description

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.

Pinwheel Path

Fully Fenced
2.5 acres

Our 2.5 acre park is a tranquil path through the woods with multiple path options and limitless nature to behold, accompanied by a soundtrack of birds and insects. The ample trails that cover the park are easy to traverse, and your dogs will be delighted exploring the endless smells in between those paths to sniff…and pee on. If you love to hike with your dog but wish they could be off leash to investigate the wonders of the woods so you can marvel at the variety of ferns and fungi, this is the place to let your dog run free without worrying about them getting lost. The trails and fencing are a continual work in progress, maintained and built over a decade and then some. We ask our own dogs to help decide where any new paths should go, and if there are any gaps in the perimeter fencing, we hope you and your dogs will do the same. Please be mindful of roots and rocks along the paths, the trail is more natural in some places than others. Get your birding app ready, put your running shoes on, bring your camera and binoculars--there is more to this park than joyous zoomies for your dog! Trail Length: park perimeter is approx. .25 miles, all (3) loops are approx. .58 miles
