55Lovely spot for dogs to sniff, play, and just relax! I came with my own dog but also wanted to check out the space on behalf of my dog training clients. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, sniffing around, and the host has many spaces for you to sit down if needed. We will be back and I'll be recommending this spot to my clients!Lisa C.

55First time using this app. Picked this location to go meet our rescue and take her home for the first time. The piece of land was beautiful and open, plenty of room for our new 10 mo old Doberman to run freely. Sarah ensured there was water placed out for her to drink, chairs, and bags prior to our arrival.
Very perfect spot :)Rachel W.

55HUGE MASSIVE yard! Plenty of room to run and explore. There were some small spots that a really small dog might be able to squeeze through and some lower corners/sections of fence a truly adventurous dog might try to jump but my Bonny was content to play and explore inside the yard. It backs up to a wooded area so she really felt like she could explore the wildlife. And super shady! I was worried about the heat with my half-husky but it didn't bother us at all (and they left a huge water bowl for my baby). Def coming back!K. Bevin A.

55My friends and I used this as a meeting point halfway between Dallas and San Antonio. Not knowing what to expect but hoping for the best. A place our dogs could hang out and play, while we would also be comfortable and could visit. The spot could not have been better. There was plenty of room for the dogs. Lots of trees to keep us cool in the 90 degree October heat. Great, off street parking. We will be back!Jennifer L.

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. 97% 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 78 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
