55What a wonderful visit today! So much room for dogs to flourish-a huge open field for ball playing. Animals all around from chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, to alpacas. The host was super friendly and even shared some farm knowledge with me. We can't wait to go back!! Thank you so much :)Ashley R.

55Had an amazing time! The host provided toys, water, and water bowl, which were very much appreciated by my pup and I. She was unfortunately able to slip under the fence at a few of its points though so keep a close eye on your dog if they are medium sized. Mars G.

55I took my new shelter dog to this field so she could experience freedom without any anxieties of strange dogs or people. We heard one dog bark very very far away in the distance and there’s a road next to it that trucks/cars/cyclists can be seen and heard but there’s a fence and trees separating it from the field. Pepper had no issues with these and totally ignored them because she was having too good of a time. She loved it! The toys, water etc was SO thoughtful and made the experience fantastic for us both.

55Really wonderful place to visit! Easy to find, spacious, nice amenities… the only negative was that a neighbor was shooting (probably 50+ gunshots over the course of our one hour visit) and one of my doggos was spooked (the other didn’t mind). Just a note for any doggos coming to visit that are really sensitive to sounds (:Katie B.

55Carol’s spot is AMAZING! Includes clearly marked walking trails both in and outside of the fenced area. Carol has made a true haven for dogs who like to sniff and run and humans who like to walk with their dogs off-leash! Nina M.

FAQ about our Sanford 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.
