55This place is great! Highly recommended. In addition to the sturdily fenced in yard, there are seats for the humans, a cool pee spot with a repurposed fire hydrant, fresh water, poop bags. It's really well set up.
Our dog doesn't know how to use the agility equipment, but it's great for just running around and fetching a ball too.Ben A.

55Jennifer was an amazing host! She chatted with my fiance and I got a bit when we arrived and was so kind. Provided water, poop bags and chairs for us to relax while the pups played. Copper and Chief are brothers and they are "Black and Tan Counhound mix puppies only 10 months old, they absolutely love playing together. This was our first time here and the dogs loved the area to run and play and Copper actually was confident enough to use some of the equipment which was pretty awesome. We will definitely be back for more playing!Nick F.

FAQ about our Athens 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Athens 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 67 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
