55We really enjoyed the peaceful setting and beautiful mountain surroundings. Thankful for the great seating and shade while our dog wore herself out. It was great to see her reaction to the pond and plenty of space to run without other dogs. We will definitely be back to Pondside Paws Park!Kate O.

55This spot was so much fun! Pancake had a great time chasing her ball. While she chose not to go swimming, the pond was a great feature and we also had fun exploring. Will definitely visit again! Nadja H.

55This is a wonderful spot! It's definitely now one of our favorites. It's very well kept. The fencing was secure, which gave me peace of mind for my 13 lb pup who can get through some small spaces. My other dog loves swimming, so the pond was perfect. She swam the entire hour! We will definitely be back soon.Kara K.

55The location was absolutely gorgeous, my boyfriend and I really enjoyed sitting and watching the dragonflies and the birds. My pup really enjoyed sniffing and running around! There was fresh water and an outdoor shade for the seating area! Addie L.

55Our dogs absolutely love this place- they have the best time running, swimming, rolling, chasing each other and always leave tired and happy (and in need of a bath, haha). The pond is so pretty right now with the lily pads blooming and dragonflies flying about. Laura B.

55My pups had a great time! Nice little pond, and well manicured grass areas. Very secure fence, and plenty of seating for two loggers. Brought my own toys and pick-up bags, but there are toys, fresh water, and bags in the little shed if you forget. Will definitely be making this a repeat location! As you can see, Angus is completely worn out!Michael F.

55Nice spot with plenty of room for my 3 dogs to roam, sniff, and play. The shade canopy, Adirondack chairs, dog toys, fresh water, waste bags, and trash can were all appreciated. We will be back!Kim G.

55Our dog loved to chase the cars passing by on the street and loved running around the area! She didn’t go in the pond but she still really enjoyed her time. Colleen C.

55The babies had so much fun running around and they all loved the pond! All three took a quick dip! There was also a herd of deer that chilled around us the whole visit. It was so nice! And I love the fact that there is toys for the dogs to play with!Rebecca G.

55Pepper had a great time with her herding ball. It’s nice to be able to play in the fenced in area. I am renting a Tiny House in Flat Rock, and I don’t have a yard for her to play in.
The area was well manicured and clean, and there was even a water bowl.Tom P.

FAQ about our Sapphire 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sapphire 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 169 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
