55This was the perfect spot to let our pup explore and play. The yard is a great size with a very secure fence. We especially enjoyed the great seating options to relax while watching our dog sniff everything she could find. Amenities were great with water, treats, sticks and more provided. We’ll definitely be back!Tyler C.

55Although I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting here yet, the host, Kerry, has been so considerate and made things so easy as both times I had to reschedule due to Georgia storms. I can’t wait to book again and experience everything this sniffspot has to offer! Addison P.

55Easy, no brainer kind of spot - show up, chill and head out. Such a lovely option! Yard was lush and open for lots of running. Deck is shaded with a fan for hot days. They even provided waters bottles (which was so appreciated bc I forgot my bottle!). We came with three dogs, and a few friends, and it was the perfect spot to relax. Would absolutely recommend to others! Gillian M.

55Bailey had a great time rolling around in the grass and doing zoomies in the yard. The yard was completely fenced in and she wasn’t able to see out which was great since she has some reactivity issues. We would definitely come back again!Kelly G.

55Tallulah and Atticus had an amazing time, playing and exploring the yard. Everything was perfect. There is so much room, to run and play. We loved the huge tree in the backyard, with lots of shade and comfy chairs. There was a cute table, with snacks, for everyone and things, you might need. Tallulah was ready to come back this afternoon, but Atticus was so worn out. He has been happily snuggled in the bed, since we got home. We highly recommend, visiting this wonderful doggie, happy place. We will be back soon and often. Thanks so much, my pups had an amazing time.

55Great set-up. Subdivision/established neighborhood not on road with major traffic. Lots of interesting natural areas for dogs to explore and run, solid fence line. Not small, but not so large, you wonder about fence security or whether your dog is overwhelmed. Chairs, water, and optional snack table appreciated. Gates easy, and things out where you clearly see how to get what you need (pooper scooper, trash can) Diane L.

55Great spot! My dog loved running around and taking pictures on the hay. We were visited by one of the roaming cats so if your dog is reactive to cats or just hasn’t been around them make sure you’re looking out. Can’t wait to go back! Emma F.

FAQ about our Waco 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. 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waco 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 241 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 31 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.
