Trust me, this is no easy feat!). Teddy usually falls asleep on the ride home from camp as she's so exhausted from her doggy adventures but you can tell how happy and incredibly well cared for she is during her time away. We've had issues with boarding facilities in the past (check my reviews if interested) which left us hesitant to booking, especially considering the expense that comes with larger breed considerations. However, not only does TCC have better care, facilities, and customer service; they are also easier on the checkbook. Teddy definitely has a home away from home in TCC, and even though our new move puts us another 15 minutes out, we wouldn't go anywhere else!

Barkingham Park is great for my pups! I have a German Shepherd Dog (3.5 years old) and a Siberian…read moreHusky (1.5 years old). It seems like no matter the time of day, there's at least one or two other dogs. The dog park itself is GIGANTIC with a fence that has got to be at least a 1/4th mile all around (just an estimate). The watering system is nice, and doesn't keep any stagnant water that gets muddy like other parks. They have a kiddy pool to fill up, and a drain system near it for easy emptying of dirty water. The ground is a mixture of gravel/rocks, grass, and woodsy terrain. 3/4ths the park is in the shade, with a good portion still wide open with sun and area for the puppies to run. We will continue to come to this park over many others because of the quality. Great park!

My Royal Standard Poodle (large) had the time of his life. Rosedale Dog Park is well planned,…read moreclean, and well maintained. As we entered through the double gated entry, on the left was available water for the dogs. Straight ahead was a large concrete covered patio with 4 steel tables with benches on all 4 sides. We were engulfed in a beautiful, clean, well maintained forest with a mulch floor. We were met by 9 friendly dogs and 8 friendly dog owners. In the middle of the forest was a clean, well shaded wooden bench. Beyond the fence was a state forest, so snakes have been known to enter in.

Completely fenced and with separate areas for small and large dogs, there is a lot of space. The area is well shaded and not very muddy with seating areas for the people and room for dogs to run about. A dedicated parking lot in the front, a double-gate area to keep the dogs secure and signage that indicates the rules of the park. There is also a dispenser with bags and a drop off for filled ones. This is a super park and I would love to bring my dogs here for a run about. [Review 19517 overall - 3412 in North Carolina - 487 of 2023.]

There are two playgrounds that are completely different from each other. One is a "Panther's Training Center" theme and the other is a more traditional playground with a toddler and 5-12 play area.

I've been taking my kids to Clarks Creek since it opened. While this park does have some pluses…read morethere are minuses. The bathrooms are almost always nasty, they either don't have toilet paper or don't have paper towels to dry your hands. If it's the summer time and you're taking your kids for the splash pad, bring water shoes. The floors are disgusting. The trashes get overflown and the flies are everywhere. I don't know who thought it was a great idea to have metal slides with no shade but if it's a peak summer day, you're not gonna want your kids going down those slides, especially if they've got shorts on, their butts will get fried. Also, not sure whose idea it was to have the wooden rocking toy thing for kids because those did not last long. The handles broke after a year. When it comes to usable things for kids to play on at this park, the options are extremely limited. I would've loved to see something that kids could actually climb on and slide from that wasn't meant to be poor installation art. The main thing our kids do when we're there is swing on the only two swings climb up in the big web net thing and roll down the turf hill. The only well-kept areas in this park are the Pickleball courts and the dog park. There's definitely ample parking. There's a community garden that you can look at. If you come at the right time when the figs are ripe, you can pick them right off the tree so that's nice.

This place is fairly decent all-in-all. The staff is great. However, the dog park and bar can have…read moreissues. Some people that frequent the spot, let their dogs become aggressive and don't curb or police them. Others , are blindly yapping away when their animal is pissing and crapping in the play area and fail to clean it up like you are supposed to like us responsible owners do. Most people are friendly but, it is mainly for more than one person. They have TV's but, there is so much activity where they are located that it is hard to focus. If you are alone it can be boring except for the fact your dog is enjoying it (which I guess is the point!) The bar used to be hit or miss but has improved. While a I know this isn't a place you should be going to get tipsy even , I mean I get it , it's a dog park but when I have ordered a shot or two of whiskey with my beer , I was really ripped off more than a couple times by two specific people. The bar manager is great and I think she corrected the light pours, which is great because the alcohol there isn't cheap. I'm not ragging on the bartenders though - all of them are nice and polite. I have only limited experience with the Doggy Daycare and while I don't know what actually goes on back 'there' my dog seemed to be happy when picked up. I will say one of the young ladies who normally checks me in young, with mid-length blonde hair was not very friendly. It was like 8AM and it's Doggy Day Care and isn't cheap , probably be a bit friendlier to the customers. Other than that , it's a decent place to enjoy an afternoon with a beer, or not, while your pup plays and socializes with other dogs. Just wish some owners would be more attentive of their dogs behavior - most are! Recommend checking this place out.

This is WAS my go to spot to take my dog and now I'm done. I feel like they have just gotten worse and worse over the years. You will request report cards and you get nothing! No communication with your dog being there with them while you are traveling. If you are looking for a place to board your dog go somewhere else!
