55This place is amazing!!! Ponds are everywhere and ends at the Fox River. It’s a perfect place to take your pup to just run around and have a blast. My dog and I love to play hide and seek, and there are plenty of places to hide. Felicia C.

55Nicole is a lovely, communicative hostess, who made us feel so welcome before we even arrived. Her space is clean, shady and comfortable for zoomies and upside down stretchies. There were dog toys to play with and a chipmunk who dared visit while we were there. 😂 Apollo loved it! Chrissy B.

55This spot is AMAZING! The yard is so beautiful and lush, my dogs loved sniffing and exploring everywhere. It is so relaxing for humans and so much fun for dogs. Lots of room to run and play! The owner was extremely thoughtful and even gave us extra time because we were running late. I will definitely be coming back here. Meredith C.

55Great spot! Easy parking, clear instructions, and most importantly plenty of space for the pup to run around. You’ll want to keep an eye on your pet, as some critters from the woods may come say hello. There are adjoining neighbor yards, and it’s close to the train, so maybe not ideal for dogs that are nervous around noises/other people. Reed R.

55Absolutely loved it here. Dogs had a blast and are super tired for the rest of the day now. Fence was secured and didn't have any concerns about my escape artist Husky mix getting out. Very nice that they had chairs, treats and a water bowl out. Will definitely be back!Bridget S.

55So many choices! For my two small dogs, this yard had endless possibilities for splashing, dashing, sniffing and exploring. We really appreciated all of the amenities and, most importantly, the welcome sign on the gate with instructions for securing the yard.
Thank you for hosting, and we will see you soon!Peg O.

55Street parking. Right off the expressway and just enough space for 4 dogs to never tire of exploring! The yard was clean and had both shade and sunshine. Highly recommend. We loved it Elizabeth P.

55Loved this spot, my dogs got to run around. Sniff around and the vegetable gardens were easy to keep the dogs out. There were both people and other dogs around and the dogs by the end of the yard barked at mine a couple of times. However that did not ruin our experience, just something to be aware of if you have a reactive dog. Lisa G.

55Owner was super nice and professional with communication, yard was amazing! Perfect for my 2 big dogs (50 & 100 lbs) they had so much fun running around, romping in the pool, and the host even has soap to wash up after. Fun toys, yummy treats and plenty of seating so you can rest near your pup. Beautiful quiet area. Had so much fun, thank you!Alexis M.

55My husband and I took him once before. This is a safe haven for our little one. Our dog is shy and has struggled adjusting to our new city life in Chicago. To have this place just 25 minutes away from our home has been a godsend. To see him run around happily and confidently…the highlight of my week. Lots of fun space to run around and a pool for your dog to splash about. Highly recommend! Gianluca P.

FAQ about our Cary 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Cary area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
