Great, large open area for your dog to run! Ours wasn't as interested in playing ball this time, but still fun to be off-leash. Plus several water dishes.

Rome was very accommodating since we arrived early. She was very friendly and welcoming. The spot was great for my pup, she was able to run around, there was drinking water and a pool.

My 9 mo old mini dachshund puppy, Charlie, and I really enjoyed Quinten’s place. We used the front yard while we were there. Quinten was very communicative and we loved the turf, sprinklers, and kiddie pool. I can tell Quinten is still doing work to his yard but so far it’s great! Thank you, we will be back!

We had such a great time at Kate’s! The pups loved exploring the yard and playing. We attempted the pool but they were scared and didn’t get in. Hopefully in the next visits they will have more courage to take the plunge! They did enjoy running around the pool . Haha Highly recommend! We are looking forward to coming back !

Took my dogs to use the pool now that it’s open and they loved it! Life vests for the dogs were provided and they were very helpful as my dogs have never swam in an open pool before. There were sizes for small dogs and two that were big enough to fit my large GSD’s. Towels and other small necessities were provided and we had a wonderful time as we usually do! This is our favorite sniff spot to use and we’ll continue to come here!

My pup and I had so much fun! Summer Joy had an awesome time. The yard was spacious, clean and very accommodating. Kate is an excellent host and the communication was superb. Although this is a 30min commute for Summer Joy and I, we will definitely be back!

We had such a fun time here! My little apartment dog loooved the chuck it and playing with her frisbee. There was a neighbor dog who saw us and barked a few times - no more than 5minutes and luckily Winter is curious but not reactive to that but some dogs might be! Kate was always easy to reach and very communicative - this was our first sniff spot and we will definitely be back! Can’t wait to check out the pool later this summer :)

Love this spot! One dog loves to dock dive and enjoys the big pool while the other dog Prefers to dip his toes in water and loves the kiddie pool. Clean safe and fun for the doggies! Thank you!!

Nice private pool for my dog! Just really wish the pool had a ramp, the stairs were pretty steep and my Aussie really struggled to get into the pool. My dog has never had access to a pool so he didn’t understand the concept of jumping in which is why a ramp or an extra step on the stairs would’ve been extremely helpful. There was a considerable amount of dirt in the pool that would’ve been nice if it were cleaned better. The owner was kind to set out sunscreen, a towel, and toys!

Kate’s yard is a great place for our pups to play! It’s a big open yard with plenty of room to run. Everything we needed was provided including a water bowl and toys. This was our second time visiting and we will be back!

FAQ about our Cornelius 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.
