55Great spot, highly recommended, will go again. Can't wait!
Suggest using Google Maps to find the place, as it can be a little tricky. There's a side road (really a large driveway) just before/after the large roundabout. Go all the way down this (looking out for the street number), until you see the picture with the van.
There's a paddock with dog toys/pools/bowls by the entrance -- this is the spot.Alan L.

55Awesome spot - would highly recommend!
Follow your GPS app of choice, then you'll find the spot with the pictured van and gate to the left of the residence.
Key things we loved:
⭐️ Fencing kept our two girls (Huntaway x and Jack Russell) contained, so we were happy for them to explore off-leash
⭐️ Clean property with well-maintained grass
⭐️ Several fenced paddocks with natural features like a creek, bushes and trees
⭐️ Gates, in case you want to contain your pup(s) to certain paddocks
⭐️ Lots of tree shade, great for a break from the sun
⭐️ Sniff spots include grass along fences, trees, logs, branches, pinecones and more!
About the surroundings:
ℹ️ There were two horses on the property adjacent to one of the back paddocks. There was double-fencing between them and the horses moved away after a while.
ℹ️ As mentioned in previous reviews, Fred Taylor Park is to the left of the paddocks. There is fencing and plenty of space on the property to maintain distance, in case you're conscious of other people/dogs.
ℹ️ We heard dogs barking a couple of properties away, but we didn't see any other people or animals on/near the property otherwise.
ℹ️ Our Huntaway x can be reactive (on leash) to unfamiliar people or animals, but she had no problems with the surrounding distractions!
Thank you Shelley for hosting a safe space for our pups to play in 🩷 So looking forward to our next visit!!Abby M.

55The dogs had a fantastic time. It was so nice to not have to worry about off lead interlopers.
We did have trouble finding it though even with Google maps. Look for the red brick fence at the entranceAlan B.

55Dogs loved it! Good mix of shade and sunny paddocks. And clusters of trees with the creek too. And good sized clear areas for a whippet to absolutely motor. Entrance is a little confusing for gps. But there is a big brick entry fence with letter boxes at start of shared driveway. That's a good marker. Head along there and once you are down the drive to the sniffspot there appears to be a couple of entry points/gates to the land. One has a kind of frisbee tied to it ! Enjoy Lisa O.

55This place is great! A nice group of small fields with a creek, chairs and some shade. My dog loved it. There were two horses in the next field over separated by a double fence and some vegetation. My GSD either didn't notice or didn't care. We'll for sure be back!Michael K.

55Another visit to this spot, the dogs loved the new little obstacles that have been set up. Great place for summer as the dogs can cool off in the stream and there’s shaded areas too.
Thanks again for hosting us 😊Kelly M.

55I took my furbaby - Orange and his bff - Sasuke. Sasuke is my sister’s furbaby who is highly reactive and super strong, it was the first time we got to see him run free but also choose to stay close to us. Thank you for the amazing space. It was super clean, with plenty of sun and shade for us to watch them from. Host was helpful. Thank you again for making this space what it is, which is a heaven for our furbabies. Will be back for another play soon. To’a T.

55Beautiful spot! We visited recently with my parents and their dogs. Heaps and heaps of space, and multiple spots for them to play in the creek. Was very private and we had no issues with any fences. There were two horses in an adjacent paddock at the back who came over to say hi, completely unfazed by the dogs. It is a bit hard to find if you haven’t looked at all the photos with directions - so do that first coz they really help!Grace L.

55We have visited a few times now with our 2 Rottweilers, Parker and Kadan and also with their friends, Frankie and Gertrude. It's heartwarming to see them running around like crazy and in and out of the creek. The grass is kept short so we worry less about grass seeds. This is a great spot!Mary W.

FAQ about our Auckland dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
