55Our first time to a sniffspot! The fence was secure and I loved that they provided toys, water, a trash can, bags if needed, etc. and my dog loved the pond!
55Great spot. Older pup actually waded in the pond, that was a first!! My younger puppy loves to play fetch & the grass area in the middle made that tricky, We saw some deer! ❤️❤️❤️
55Absolutely awesome spot! Wish I could rate it more stars! We will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Close to my house and our dogs ABSOLUTELY LOVE the pond! Clean drinking water, toys, double entry gate, pool at gate to rinse the pups in! Everything you could need! Highly recommended!
45This spot was great! They provide water and toys. It's clean and well maintained and there's plenty of space for the dogs to run. I know they're not completely in control of the pond, but it looked like the water level was very low and the water was brown/muddy. I know we haven't had a ton of rain recently, but based on the pictures I was expecting more water.
55Very nice spot! Big enough body of water for swimming and enough running room for my lazy dog!
55I think this is our favorite spot so far! Our girl loves to play in water, and this is the perfect place for her to teach her escape artist little brother how. He still mostly ran full speed in circles, and the water is low currently, but they both still had so much fun. We’ll be back!!
55Great little spot 😊
55Great spot! The dogs had so much fun in the water and running laps around the garden!
55Great spot. Easy to find. Had a bit of shade after 5 pm. Love the flower garden in the middle - it was fun to go around and play hide and seek with my pup.
55Great spot!! Awesome selection of toys. Well maintained. My dogs loved it!

Description

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.
