55My girl had a great time zooming around the pond and she kept trying to play with a fish in it too it was so cute. I'm definitely bringing her back to this location.
55Great spot, Hudson loved it! Appreciate the toys and clean water for him to drink. I didn’t stay the whole time because it was raining :(, but I’ll be back to sit in those chairs and relax when they are dry!
55The boys had such a great time here! It was the perfect swimming hole for them to splash around, and they ran laps around the garden until they were exhausted. Very peaceful, private, and safe!
55Second time visiting and it was just as perfect! Thanks!
15Pond was muddy, pool was empty and garden consisted of weeds.
55Beautiful spot with nice scenery and a little pond which my 2 dogs loved. One of my dogs is reactive & an escape artist so it was nice being able to bring him to a secure place where he could roam around and not worry about any other doggos. It was a little muddy which I somewhat expected having a pond, so it took me a little longer than expected at the end to clean them up for the car ride home, but the owners graciously allowed me a few extra minutes to do so. They said they’re in the process of putting down straw/chips to help combat some of the mud. They also had plenty of toys, water/water bowl, & a kiddie pool which was appreciated for my other dog that overheats easy. We will be back soon!
55Nice private location with plenty of space and ways to wear the pups out!
55What a nice end to my week! Meeting up with a girlfriend and her dog for some outside time in such such a beautiful setting. Thank you! 
55This was our dog's first time ever visiting a pond and seeing deer! She had an amazing time jumping in the water and running around! Great spot.
45Nice area. The pond was low which is to be expected with little rain. Some muddy areas. An interesting spot for dogs to smell around though. Park in front of the gate, not on the gravel driveway

Description

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.

#3 Fun field for a furry frenzy 3- Field of Dreams in Fletcher

11/2 the fencing has been repaired. The neighborhood is not ready for traffic but we will be ready to open when they are. 9/28- heavy damage due to flooding. Closed until I can rebuild. Sites 1, 2, and 4 are open for your pups and your continued patronage would be a great help to me and this site. Access is possible to those sites. Thank you for your understanding. Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s been designed for complete privacy for you and your pets. No drive by traffic no people walking by, just you and your kids on 4 flat acres. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoy off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fenceing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. This area is not fenced. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, hammock and umbrella, are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided and even a game of horse shoes for humans! I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!
