We love this Sniffspot because it’s really close to downtown. So many things to sniff, toys to play with and an agility course if you want to practice with your pup!

Spot was clean. Comfortable, shaded seating area. On the smaller side but great for one or two dogs to have play space.

FAQ about our Raleigh 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.

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.
