55Great spot to let our dogs stretch their legs! A small pool for the dogs, and comfy chairs for us to sit in while the dogs played. Clean, nicely mowed, well fenced, and the dogs loved it! Chantal M.

55We had a great time! Clean and quiet place. My 7yr old was able to play on the swings and playscape while the dogs explored! The patio was very nice to sit on. The dogs really enjoyed themselves. Highly recommend!Stephanie H.

55Not only is it a nice, big, fenced yard, but we found a small table with dog treats, toys, sanitizer, and a personalized note waiting for us. We'll definitely be back.Jeff P.

55The fenced yard was easily accessible . Rory loved running around the yard. It was the perfect size for us to let her roam around freely on a long leash. While we did hear the neighbors dogs barking due to the high fence Rory wasn't able to see them and it was actually a great training opportunity to get her to focus on us. Would definitely recommend and also going back again soon!b s.

55Nice sized, well maintained yard, fencing is secure. There are no areas where dogs can escape. The neighbors have large dogs which will bark but they are fenced in and not visible. It wasn't a problem for us. The neighbor eventually put the dogs inside. Our puppies loved running around in the yard and we all had a great time. We will definitely come back again sometime.Patrick S.

55It was amazing. Archie had so much fun. He explored everywhere including the deck. He found the toys in a cooler on his own and barked so I retrieved a couple. The yard is beautiful and clean. There’s a large shade tree and lots of plants to sniff. I bring my own water but there is a bowl with drinking water. Wonderful fence too. It’s heaven on earth for my Dalmatian. 💙Carol P.

55Wow!! My first Sniffspot experience and it was perfection. Water, water bowls, balls, towels, a hose, poop bags, all provided 🤩🤩 the yard is lovely , nice soft grass and well shaded in the evening. The neighbourhood was quiet, we didn’t hear anyone or anything at our visit. So so so thankful for this spot, we have a mini Aussie in a condo, and until we find a house he’ll need to borrow this yard!Kerry N.

FAQ about our Flat Rock 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 Flat Rock 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 522 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 29 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.
