55This is the best place to take your dog!! I take my dog hiking but she rarely gets to be off leash anywhere because she's a flight risk. This was like taking her for a hike off leash. The water is definitely a bonus! I actually sat on the little bridge for a bit while my dog looked around (she didn't go far but it was nice not to have to worry about her). The fence is great and I enjoyed the walking paths. I am definitely booking a spot as often as I can :)Robyn H.

55This place is wonderful. My two dogs loved being off the leash and free to roam. It’s a wonderful wide trail that loops around the property. It has two bridges going over a small brook. We made several loops around the property and with a few slight hills allowed me to get in a decent workout and a couple thousand steps which was an added bonus and NOT boring if you like to hike/walk in the woods!
Julia was an incredible host and sent me all the information I needed and even though she’s on a dead end street it was a nice touch being able to park in the driveway. I would definitely recommend this place for you ash’s your fur-babies. We will be back for sure!Pam P.

55So so amazing! My pup had the best time in the creek and exploring the property. It is securely fenced and I had no worries about her squeezing her way out. She sprinted, sniffed, played in the creek, and was exhausted after 30 minutes. Very private and there is a nice trail to walk on around the property.Jordans P.

55Such a nice spot. Perfect for one or multiple dogs. So much space and smells for exploring. One of the dogs that hates water felt comfortable enough to slowly climb into the creek. Carlee G.

55I loved coming here! It was a surprisingly large getaway in a neighborhood I did not have issues with neighbors or privacy with the fence at all and the creek was a great fun bonus for my bubba girl to run around in and through :) Ashley T.

55Great little spot! My dogs loved the water ☺️ It did seem like a smaller dog could potentially scoot through the bars near the fence over the creek so just something to keep an eye on. My rowdy crew had a blast and we’ll be back!Camille B.

55My dogs loved this spot! Feels like you’re out hiking on trails, but instead has the safety of a fence. This was great since only 2/3 of my dogs are recall trained. Great spot to practice if you’re working on recall! They loved playing in the water as well. Toward the end of our visit there was a neighbor dog that wouldn’t stop barking at us from the other side of the fence. Didn’t see an owner so after a few minutes we just headed out early. The dog was not able to access our space, but could be a bummer for reactive dogs using the spot. Everything that was within the host’s control was perfect! Would definitely come again.Christina F.

55Another 5 star experience. Once again the host was very welcoming and informative. My Tuffy thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful morning running and exploring this vast, beautiful area. Such a nice place to take him for exercise and entertainment. He loves running along the trails and checking out the stream. It's literally like having a private park all to yourself. Jennifer C.

55My dog and I love this area. It’s spacious and he enjoys running free and jumping in the pond. The host is extremely nice and work hard to accommodate your needs. The trees provide great shade, there is also a sitting area with a fire pit. 10/10 definitely recommend :) shaiyonna k.

55My dogs had a great time at Julie’s spot! They loved running through the woods & playing in the creek. With all of the homes & yards surrounding the spot I had to stay vigilant because one of my dogs is highly reactive. While at the spot we saw children playing in their own yard and a woman with her dog in their own yard. These yards surround the spot but most of them do not share a fence line. I was able to stay far enough from those areas even though my reactive dog did spot the other dog in its yard. The creek is in a great spot where the other yards aren’t as viewable so if your dog is entertained by the creek you’ll be fine! Overall we had a great time at the spot but personally I couldn’t fully relax with my dogs due to the close neighbors. (To add, I visited in the middle of the day at the beginning of summer so it was probably prime time for neighbors to be out-understandable!) Kayla C.

FAQ about our Fuquay-Varina dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Fuquay-Varina?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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 dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training 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.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
