Louisville Pet Resort Opens Splash Park and Agility Zone for High-Energy Dogs

Fifteen water elements: jets, fountains, misting stations, non-slip surfaces, and a filtration system rated for daily canine use. That's what Louisville's high-energy dog owners are driving to 14310 Old Henry Road to find.

The Pet Station Country Club opened its third and largest location there this spring, near the Gene Snyder Freeway, on Louisville's east side. The 25,000-square-foot resort is the chain's most ambitious build since co-owner Rebecca Blackburn launched the first Murphy Lane location in 2017. "We're proud to be a locally owned business that provides unmatched services and amenities for pets and their families," Blackburn said. "Unlike the big national competitors, we go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed, at ease, and cared for."

Water play earns its reputation with retrievers, doodles, and sporting breeds because it delivers physical fatigue at a fraction of the joint load that running or fetch requires. A dog that needs 90 minutes of hard land exercise to settle can reach that same fatigue point faster in a supervised splash session, which matters as Louisville summers push into triple-digit heat indices. The splash park's non-slip surfaces and contemporary filtration keep the play safe, not just exciting.

A 15-minute individual splash park session runs $15. The indoor 3,500-square-foot agility area, floored with K9Grass, handles off-weather days, while three outdoor turf areas totaling 15,000 square feet provide overflow space when daycare runs full. The half-mile nature trail rounds out the cooldown options, which owners of high-drive breeds know matters as much as the workout itself.

The facility runs 24/7 with certified trainers and behavioral specialists on staff. For dogs that escalate quickly in group settings, treat the first visit as a low-stakes recon trip: arrive off-peak, let the dog move through the space before entering the splash park or group play areas, and confirm staff-to-dog ratios during peak daycare hours before committing to a regular schedule.

The Pet Station Country Club won the IBPSA's Pet Care Business Excellence Award in 2024, and the Old Henry Road build reflects the investment behind that recognition. Nine years after Murphy Lane, Louisville's east side finally has a structured outlet for its most relentlessly energetic dogs.
