55Really cool, large yard. Our dog was in heaven and had SO much fun! Yard was fully fenced but fence did appear to have some partially broken spots that a dog COULD get through if they tried. It was perfect enough for our dog but may not be the best for true escape artists. Also, there is an in-ground pool that was just opening up. Our dog loves water and cannot resist jumping in, so may have to wait until the fall to come back so she doesn’t intrude! Kiley C.

55A beautiful, big yard for the pups! We went there to practice agility, and it was perfect for our needs (short grass, no holes, fenced in). The gate to the yard is right next to the driveway, so it was very easy to get the dogs and equipment in and out.Kate N.

55Terrific! Great present for my standard poodle's birthday. Exceeded my high hopes. The yard was well-kept so he was really able to run. Even at doggy day care he hasn't gotten that much exercise. Nice shady places to escape the hot sun. First Sniffspot we've been to, no idea about others but am definitely coming back to Wilton!Dee S.

55Enjoyed our first visit. Large grassy area with woods in back. Lots of room to roam. There was a gap in the fencing towards the back as others have noted. It was not an issue for us but might be for others. My pup really enjoyed! All in all a terrific experience. I hope to return. Beth S.

55Place was perfect for my crazy doggo! A 2 year old golden retriever usually has a lot of energy and needs a lot of room to play. This backyard is so big that my dog was exhausted after a few minutes! :) we are definitely coming back. Greg was efficient and answered all of my questions right away. Such a great option for us dog owners! Ana S.

55there's a couple downed fence areas so if you have any slippery snakes that look like dogs, a heads up, but otherwise, it is an awesome spot for the dogs to run and play! I brought two of my dogs who cannot be in an unfenced area and don't have a fence yet (just moved last week!) and they had such fun running and playing in this sniffspot!!Emmett A.

55This was a wonderful spot for my dog, it was clean as expected, quiet, no triggers for my reactive dog. We took a walk around the space to check out the fencing and it was indeed fully fenced for the exception of the driveway itself, so keep that in mind if a lose dog is a concern for you. The Host left clear instructions on directions for entry to the property. Christina G.

55This was our first Sniffspot visit and what a great experience! It was my little pup’s first time swimming and the pool floats and low area of the pool were great for him to wade in and gain his confidence. Leslie was also such a pleasure to work with - timely, responsive and even had welcome treats for our boys. Would definitely book again! Jade R.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot for my dogs. and I must say it was a quick and seamless experience. One aspect that truly stood out to me was Leslie's exceptional communication throughout the entire process. From booking the spot to arriving at the location, she was prompt, clear, and friendly in all her interactions.
Leslie made sure to provide detailed instructions on how to access the yard and pool area, making it a smooth and hassle-free experience for both me and my boys. Her responsiveness to any questions I had gave me a sense of comfort and confidence in the booking.Anushree t.

55We could not be more grateful to have found such an incredible resource for both our dog and other dogs we know, who otherwise wouldn't have access to a safe place to swim/learn to swim/and play. And of course, we're most grateful to Leslie and her incredible generosity and devotion to dogs. Thank you a million times over for opening your home and providing our pups with such a wonderful addition to their lives. Sarah Z.

FAQ about our Beacon 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 Beacon 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 162 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 50 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
There are 34 Sniffspot dog parks that offer fields in or near Beacon where dogs can be off leash. The most popular field is Mary J‘s Private Dog Park In Wallkill.
