55Great space! Big area, secure fence. There were towels for muddy feet, poop bags, water and plenty of seating. It’s pretty muddy after all the rain we just got so beware of that. Woody had a great time!Laura B.

55My pup is a flight risk so I'm always extra cautious with fencing, but this park was so safe and the dogs loved their time here. Will definitely be back soon. Sydney B.

55Honeybee dog park is incredible!! My neighbor and I visited today with her fur kid Dixie and my fur kid Puddin and it’s really a great set up! There were water bowls with water supply, towels, toys, and sitting spaces for us too! It was so clean and for our first time using sniff spot we will definitely be returning! Thank you David for allowing us to let our fur kids have the best day! We even ended it with some pup cups from Chick-fil-A! ❤️ Tracey B.

55I think it's a wonderful location! Except (and I should have asked) for my very small chihuahuas (escape artists), there were some places (by the gates) they could have squeezed under. But all was fine...I kept an eye on them. It's a huge yard and they loved absolutely loved running around and exploring it! Karen K.

55This was a great spot for my medium sized dog and me! Lots of room for her to run- plenty of space for bigger dogs, too! I brought her Chuck It and some balls because that’s her favorite thing to do, and she had so much fun! I think she ran for a solid half hour.
Some nice things about the spot:
-Great fencing! No concerns about escape
-A few seating areas, if you’re lucky enough to have a dog that lets you sit down 😄
-Water bowls and hose
-Poop bags and trash can
-A swing set in case you’ve got a kiddo with you
- Very little road/traffic noise
A few things to consider:
-Parts of the space were very muddy. We’ve had a lot of rain lately, so that’s to be expected. If you’re someone who cares about your dog or car getting dirty, bring a towel.
-I was a little confused about where to park, so hopefully I got that right.
- On parts of the drive to the spot, I didn’t have a cell signal, so I got a little lost. Make sure you know where you’re headed!Sarah W.

55I’ve probably been to this location about 10 times now. It’s AWESOME! They have every amenity you could think of, large yard, pools, tons of toys, poop station, water bowls, etc. plus the hosts are super nice and leave out towels when it’s muddy/raining. And the best part, a super tall fence! My dogs go WILD for this space. Brianna P.

55My dog is person and dog reactive- and finding new places where we will have a safe, and good time can be hard!
This spot was amazing. We had no interactions in our visit and Loki really enjoyed himself. Lots of balls and toys for him to play with, a hose (!!), and towels to dry him off after his day of play!
We got a little muddy and had a great time- but nothing that bothers us :) Getting dirty just means you’re having fun!
We will be back :) Thank you David!! Shell W.

55Exactly as described! I needed to get my three dogs out the house today for an hour and wanted a safe and fun place to take them. This was perfect! Parking was easy, the entry was private, and there was lots of space for the dogs to roam :) Fencing is secure and there were poop bags and a disposal. There are some low lying areas of the yard that were muddy but a hose was easily accessible! Loved the little pools, and the towels were a nice touch. I think my only request would be for a small concrete, gravel or rubber mat area near the exit to hose them off without them standing in mud, but overall we had a wonderful time and will be back/recommend. Thanks for a lovely visit! Ashley R.

55This was my first time using this service and I am so glad I did! I dog sit and needed to find a place that could work for me to let the high energy pups out to run around. They had a blast here! It was so fun to watch them run around and play! They had water bowls, toys and lots of space for them to run around. They also provided towels if you needed to dry them off. There is a muddy spot so one of them got dirty and I had to wash him off. The parking was a little tight because there were several cars in the driveway. Other than that this place was great and I’m so happy I tried them out and I will be back again!Melissa S.

55My pup Kinley and I came here to burn some energy and it was perfect for that. Fully fenced and a nice large space. There some toys around but we also brought some of our own. Definitely left muddy but I don't mind that and Kinley loved rolling around under the trampoline in it. There was a towel left out to dry off if we chose which was nice. Poop bags and water were available and parking was clear. We would visit again!Anna B.

FAQ about our Chapel Hill small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Chapel Hill?
There are 142 small dog parks in the Chapel Hill area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
