55Central Bark was such a wonderful experience! We live in an apartment and our anxious rescue dog enjoys a quiet place to run and play, and this spot was perfect for that. They had chairs set out for us and fresh cold water for our pup! We can’t wait to come back. bailey w.

55Always the best experience here! Such a great option for more anxious or antisocial dogs who struggle in busy areas like my own does. Thanks so much!bailey w.

55Great section of yard for your fur babies to run and frolicking. Easy entry, safe fencing, water bowls provided. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed the space. Communication was easy and almost not even needed.James W.

55Clean, peaceful area. You can make out the occasional passerby and dog at the park from across the fence but the vegetation covers it up pretty well.Niva R.

55My three pups had a blast running around Shelly's yard! The fence is super solid and I felt they were completely safe at all times. Shelly left out water, tennis balls (that my dogs destroyed 🫣), a trash can, and a lounger. She was also very responsive and kind. I will definitely bring my pups back again!Sarah W.

55We had a fantastic time! Gate was a little tricky, but we eventually figured it out! It was the perfect sized yard and the pups loved the unmowed portion to sniff around in. Chloe Y.

55Fun little space for an older pup! We brought our own balls and had a fun time! It’s not a big area but perfect for space for a dog that doesn’t need a lot of room. Just watch out for a few holes near the entrance! Bre T.

55The nice woman who lives there brought out a big bowl of water and provided waste bags. The girls had fun running around and the 6 ft fence was essential because one girl will and has jumped fences when not high enough. There are balls to play with, too.J H.

FAQ about our 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Knoxville 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 109 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
