55This was a lovely location with lots of space, water and trees for the kids and adults to hang out under while our 2 dogs explored and had a fantastic time chasing each other. I have a dog that can sometimes be reactive so going to a normal dog park is a we bit stressful (actually very stressful) for me. Today I got to completely relax and enjoy watching our pup have so much fun and really let her whippet side of her sprint as fast as she could- pure joy for me to see. I highly recommend this sniff spot.
Thank you Shelley for sharing your space with us.

55Amazing spot ! A lot of space to run your dog, a little water stream for hot summer time. We even had taught toys in a basket to play with ! Being able to have a happy dog off leash in a safe area is the best feeling, thank you ! We need more spot like this. Morgane B.

55This is a great spot for taking your dog for a run around and a play. Very safe and no distractions. Our little dog had a great time and he was absolutely buggered after 15 mins of the 30 minute booking. It is an awesome find. As our neighbourhood and surrounding areas, are no longer as safe to walk your dog. We will definitely be making more visits. Sean S.

55Great place for dogs to run around. My dog especially loved the stream that runs across the land. There’s also a small bucket of toys by the entrance for that extra bit of fun. Y Y.

FAQ about our Auckland 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Auckland 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 3 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 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.
