55This is our boy's favorite Sniff Spot out of all of them! His tail wags the entire time we're there, even when he's just standing still or drinking water. So funny. Long lot, wide open and well upkept for running & playing.Jackie T.

55This was a great spot. The fence is secure and the area is clean and mostly grass. There are toys, treats, a water bowl and a seating area. My dog and I had a great time. Kristin S.

55Definitely my favorite one so far. Clean, free balls to use, seating and a garbage can for poop. Fence so secure I could relax and not worry about my pit doing gymnastics over it. Will be back for sure. Kimberly P.

55This was a wonderful large spot for our previous foster and resident dog to catch up. It was open, clean, and fenced. Our ex-foster can sometimes be reactive towards new people and animals, and we really enjoyed that this spot gave her the freedom to explore without negative distractions. The spot is right next to a main road. However, neither of our dogs were affected by the few cars passing by and the fence was tall for our dogs. I would recommend this spot for people/animal reactive dogs or anyone who wants their dog to have a great time with new smells and a large open space to run and/or fetch their toy. Natalie M.

55Very nice spot! Definitely just a basic flat open area but my two pups had a blast! They provided a couple toys and water as well which was great! Tom R.

55The space was easy to find, and the area for the dogs was wide and open, and private enough that my dog didn't have the usual distractions and fears she does at the dog park. They were able to run around so much that my girl had stiff little legs for the rest of the day. Garrett S.

55Our favourite sniffspot on the entire app. Safe, secure, huge field with places for dogs to explore. This time of year the duckweed in the lower pond can be a pain with long coated dogs, so be prepared for some grooming afterwards. More than worth it though! Xylona S.

55Large open space for high speed chase games and a few small patches for running and sniffing through tall grass. Secure fencing, clean water, trash can, and quality furniture for humans. Pups loved it Tonia J.

55Loved this Sniffspot! Instructions on how to access the property were easy to follow and the yard did not disappoint! Wonderful space with comfortable seating to watch your dog play. I really appreciated all the little touches like the dog toys available and box of useful items-hand sanitizer, poop bags, wipes, etc. Look forward to our next time there! Kristin K.

55I am new to Sniffspot and loved my first experience with Open Acres. The dogs immediately felt right at home and loved exploring and romping. I walked the perimeter for my own peace of mind, and found the area clean and secure, even for my smaller dogs. Kailyn was very responsive and kind with my early questions. We will be back! Kat M.

55I loved this SniffSpot! The variation in grasses was neat. If it is unintentional, leave it, because my dogs had a blast running through the tall grass and the shorter grass. There are trailers on the property that came in handy for my dogs too. It was pretty hot, so after playing for awhile, they relaxed under one of the trailers for shade. Lots of water was provided as well which was definitely nice for a hot day.Corrine S.

55Extremely nice area, and very comfortable! Plenty of space for my pups to run around and explore. Even though it was a wet and dreary day, we still had a blast, and there was no mud at all! Kailyn was helpful and kind with correspondences through text. Can't wait to visit again!April N.

55Great area, very secure. Loved all the toys for the dog and chairs for the people! Water for our dog was available. Lots of space for our dog to run, she loved it! There was a neighbors dog that came out and barked for a few minutes at the edge of the property but went inside pretty quick. Will definitely book again!Brandon B.

55This was the first time that I have taken my two Golden Retrievers to a private dog park, and I will defiantly be coming back to this park, and to others. My dogs ran around the yard, in the freezing rain, for a 1/2 hour straight. The park was flat, open, and apparently had plenty of good sniffs. I left before my time was up, because of the weather, with my dogs tired out, and happy.DeAnna D.

55I loved the secure, wide open space. One of my two dogs is reactive to both dogs and people, and I was happy to give her the opportunity to explore in safety. When dogs (and kids) became visible in adjacent spaces, it also provided a great space/opportunity to practice engaging/disengaging with stimuli while having the ability to safely increase or decrease her distance from the stimuli. This space is secure, convenient, has available parking, and provides easy visibility of my dogs and surrounding areas.Ranielle G.

55Thank you for letting me and my pup use your property. It was very clean and secure. My dog loved it and is now asleep. He wore himself out.

FAQ about our Deer Island small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Deer Island?
There are 111 small dog parks in the Deer Island area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
