Rock Quarry Farm - 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Raleigh

Welcome to the Rock Quarry Rd. - Private Dog Park in Raleigh! We have 1 acre fully fenced in with lots of room and enrichment opportunities for your dog! We cannot wait to share our space with you! ABOUT THE SPACE The yard is fully fenced in. We have a 4ft wire fence around the property. The back fence is a 6ft privacy fence. The largest opening is 5in at the bottom of the fence. There are no shared fence lines, our yard is ideal for reactive or sensitive pups. 🥇As of June 5th, we officially have a beginners agility course! It includes 3 jumps, 1 hoop jump, a tunnel, and weave poles. We hope you and your pup love it! 🎾 The space comes with dog toys, tennis balls, place cots, digging sand, dog waste bags/ trash can, and a short but smell-filled nature “trail”. Our yard is filled with squirrels and birds and your dog will love following their scents through the brush. The area is made up of short grass, overgrown brush along the fence lines, and sandy soil. We do have a pear tree that we didn’t expect to produce this year (last year was its fruit year) but with all the rain it has produced some small pears. Our dogs love to chew on the ones that fall on the ground and we’ve never been concerned but I want to give guests a heads up in case your dog can’t have pears or you see your dog chewing on one. 🌳 Perfect shady spot for the summer! We have many mature trees which provide great shade but there are also large grassy spots where you can get full sun. A table and chairs are provided in the shade, as well as a covered area. 💧Water for dogs is provided, as is a water bowl. You’re welcome to use the hose to rinse your dog off but we ask that you don’t bath your dog or run the water for long periods of time. Our house runs on a small well so we have to reserve water. (The well is enclosed and located far outside of the fenced area). While we do live in the house on the property, it is very unlikely that you’ll see us. We want to ensure that your time is as private as possible. Our personal dogs will be secured inside the house. We ask that you keep your dog away from the back door of the house. For safety, we do have security cameras located around the property. Our house is far back off of the road. When you enter the driveway, you will pass our neighbor who is located at the road. They have dogs that will likely bark when you drive past them. They are fully enclosed in a privacy fence and cannot be seen from our yard but they can be heard if they’re barking. Otherwise you should not see or hear any domestic animals. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Brought my daughter’s dog along to enjoy the space along with my Daisy and Bexley had a blast too. She loves chasing balls and didn’t slow down the entire hour. Thank goodness for this space to give them a place to get much needed exercise and play time!

This is a great spot! Fence is in great shape and the space is clean and has lots of balls for fetch and chairs for the humans. My large dog loved exploring - especially the wooded area along the perimeter. We will definitely be returning!

Lots of space to run and parking very convenient since you can park right in front of gate. Dogs enjoyed it, tired & falling asleep on their way home!

My dogs absolutely loved this area. It was well maintained, and I appreciated the trees lining most of the perimeter that looked onto other properties. One of my dogs is very tiny and if the gate is pushed too much, she could exit, but she is not an escape artist. I would just keep that in mind if you have a toy breed. My girls slept hard the whole ride home. We will definitely be returning!

This fenced in dog park was perfect for our 2 dogs. The host came out and introduced himself and was very friendly. The fenced in yard was well maintained and had a lot of dog toys to play with. Our dogs had a blast running, sniffing and playing fetch. We can’t wait to go back with friends for dog play dates. I will definitely be passing this location information onto my friends and co-workers.

Travis was super nice & came out to say hello. Great yard! Glad to be able to celebrate my dog’s 2nd birthday with my friends and their dog. Should’ve booked for longer, so many smells to smell in such a large yard

This 1/2 acre is officially my dog’s favorite place on the planet - there is ample room for running, frisbee and ball chasing whether you have one dog or a whole pack! The hosts have a large table and chair setup (large umbrellas are available for sunny days) should you wear yourself out, as well as plenty of toys for your dogs in case you forget yours. I cannot recommend this spot highly enough!
