55Really great spot for puppies to run around in the water and sand. There is both deep and shallow areas for the dogs. Also nice hang out areas for the owners to relax in on land. Jesseca B.

55This was a neat little spot, with a creek the dogs enjoyed cooling off in. It is mostly pretty shallow but our dogs aren’t huge swimmers so it was perfect for them. This spot is fully stocked with toys and a hammock and chairs, even bug spray. I will bring the pups back here!Angie S.

55The dogs had an absolute blast! So much space and a beautiful creek area for swimming. Absolute ideal play area if your dog has even moderate recall obedience. Cannot recommend enoughZach W.

55Loved the hammock and the creek. Also the host has a longline and tether that you can hook up your dog to if you can’t let them off leash. There are tons of ticks out there though so please have your dog on preventative. danielle r.

55Super fun and open spot to play with your pup! Pio (the German shepherd) really enjoyed swimming. Warning if you have a reactive dog, you can hear dogs barking pretty loudly— not visible or within 50 ft though. Pio is reactive and didn’t care. Thankful for bug spray.Caroline R.

55What a beautiful place! The road is a bit rough to get there but my Chevy Bolt handled it well enough. If you’re in Asheville and your dog needs a chance to run and swim off leash this spot is perfect. John K.

55It was lovely! Perfect for swimming. Be careful arriving - you may not be able to access if you have a lower clearance car. My
Honda Fit could do it though! Nicole S.

55It had easy access to a decently swimmable creek. It’s such a fun unfenced playground (so there are a million and one ways the pups can leave the area). Make sure your dog comes when called/ has good recall. Athena D.

55My pup had the best time in and out of the water! I second what someone else posted about low cars—the underside of mine definitely touched the gravel once or twice, but it’s a short distance from the main road so no big deal! Samantha H.

55My dogs had a good time, love that they can swim in the water especially with it starting to get warm outside. There were A LOT gnats, the 2 bug sprays I had with me did not work - they swarm by your face the whole time and are really annoying so we cut our visit short. Ally C.

FAQ about our Weaverville dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How can I find dog agility parks in Weaverville?
There are 6 dog agility parks in the Weaverville area. The most popular dog agility park is #1 Fun field for a furry frenzy!! #1. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
