55The yard had lots of space to run and play and the kiddos were fascinated by the cabana. There was shade around the fence line for everyone to cool off from the sun. The above ground pool was tall enough that I didn't have to worry about the kiddos breaking the rules about not using it. Some neighbors dogs were barking part of the time, but were not visible. We had a good time and will be visiting again. Heather S.

55Peaceful little hidden gem, with maintained grassy paths to meander with your joyful dogs... so grateful to have found this little oasis! Brian thoughtfully prepared a map, weeded a path down to the creek, and provided a big bowl of fresh water in a shaded resting spot.Deborah R.

55Clean and private. Maureen was kind and offered helpful advice on getting our timid dog in the water. By the end of the hour the dogs were enjoying themselves to the fullest! Beth S.

55This spot is beautiful. Well set up for your dog. Water toys are supplied, which is a plus, and the pool depth is the same depth for the entire pool. Hosts are great!Maureen D.

55This was the perfect spot to take our two large breeds. We arrived in the late evening as the sunset was approaching. A beautiful well maintained yard and lots of clean toys to choose from. The bowls were washed with fresh water waiting and the host kindly brought towels out to dry our dogs when she noticed I hosed them down due to the high 90° heat! There was a picnic table with a large umbrella that provided a ton of shade—this made the hour of our visit much more comfortable by keeping out of the direct sun. Such a wonderful break for us—quiet, clean, spacious, & gracious hosts. Will definitely come again and I highly recommend her space!Hannah V.

55The kiddos really enjoyed Savannah's. It's a great place for a sniffari. A few things to note, straight back from the A-frame, there are some orange survey taped trees that tell you when you've reached the far edge of the property. It's relatively flat in that area, but there is a large amount of the property down the hill to either side. There are lots of woods to explore. The trails are deer trails, but we kept mainly to the top of the hill this time. We intend to explore down the side once it's not so warm. When you are worn out from exploring, the front yard is long and a good place for playing fetch. No fence, but if your dog has good recall or you have a long lead it's perfect. We caught a glimpse of a rabbit in the bushes when we arrived, so if you have a pup with high prey drive, just be aware. We were there late afternoon and there was lots of shade. Parking was shady too, which was great during this heat wave. We'll definitely be returning to explore more.Heather S.

55The fenced area was secure and the pool clean! They had toys and a large bucket of water out for the dogs as well as a poop station. Seating was comfortable for the humans and the dogs had a blast. I will for sure be back!Alexandria W.

55Great pool and good sized yard. My golden retriever loved swimming and fetching the ball in the pool and in the yard. There are a lot of lounge chairs around the pool and there are two very close to the pool with umbrellas which provided great shade on a super hot day. We will definitely be coming back!Ashley W.

55I wasn’t sure how my pup would respond to water for the first time. This place is so awesome! It allowed us to go at our pace and do what made us comfortable. It was very clean and easy to find. Loved the life vest provided and the toys made things more interesting for him. We will be back ❤️Marissa B.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was more than we expected! A beautiful yard that my two energetic dogs loved running around. One of them loved the tug rope on the tree! The towels and wipes were super appreciated since it had rained recently. Also loved that there was a first aide kit in case it was needed. They had a great time and we will definitely be back!

FAQ About Knoxville 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. 28% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Knoxville area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 92 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 191 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
