55We LOVED this spot! My dog loved running up and down the hill, jumping logs and digging in the leaves. He was in heaven. We'll definitely be back again!Katrina C.

55I loved how open this was! My dog has a lot of fun sniffing around and playing fetch with sticks. Only downside was that the fencing is not recommended for doggies who are escape artists like my dog haha! Host was wonderful and left water out too! My dog definitely enjoyed that as well ❤️❤️ Thank you! Julia D.

55Truly rustic. A great deal of space for your energetic fur babies to gallop about. Visiting in the Fall, the ground had a thick blanket of fallen leaves that your curious 4-legged children can rummage through.
Word to the wise: be sure to wear hiking boots if you have them and those with little balance, bring a walking stick to brace yourself on the steep slope. I slipped a few times and had to use a nearby tree to brace myself.
Bring your own water bowl and water. And please pick up after your dog, even if you have to hike through the grounds; bags are provided for just that reason. Matt D.

55As many people have mentioned the hill can be a bit slick under leaf cover or in the rain. My dogs had a blast zooming around and rolling in the dirt. There are small stumps and lots of sticks that could cause harm if your pups are like mine and blast around without really looking where they're going. We had no issues, even after one of my dogs smashed sideways into a small stump, but it's something to keep in mind if you've got multiple dogs who like to chase each other around. The hill will wear them out quickly if they're used to running on the flat!Sarah V.

55This spot was lovely! The fencing was a little lower than I expected but it was sturdy and kept my dog in perfectly. Great sniffing in here from all the trees and leaves. I’ll definitely be booking again (maybe on a nicer day lol)Savanna A.

55This was our first time using the app. We had an amazing experience. My dog and my family’s dogs had a blast sniffing, playing, and running around in the leaves. We will be back! My dog is reactive and we did not hear or see any other dogs. We did a lap of the fence prior to letting them off leash, it was totally secure. The fence is probably about 4ft, so if your dog can leap over that, then be cautious! My 80lb guy had no issues Sydney L.

55This spot was awesome! The fence was super secure for my pup (and my dog loves to be like Houdini and jump/run off for the fun of it) We had a great time walking around together and playing. We’ll be back hopefully for a longer time as the weather becomes warmer! Thank you :) Abby Z.

55Extremely easy to find and navigate thanks to clear signage, beautiful spot that feels a lot larger than it is. Definitely gets a bit steep but heed her warning about having any mobility issues before booking! I brought my crosscountry pole so I didn't have an issue. Pups had a fun time, we lasted about a half hour before they got too cold (small dogs) but they had some quality sniffs! Will book again :) Sara E.

55It really is a steep downhill so not much walking for humans without good shoes and a safe step. But this was a dream for my dog!
Large, Quiet area. Very comfortable.
Easy to find parking and the entrance.
We experienced no problems at all and enjoyed our first sniffspot here!Katie M.

FAQ about our Avon 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 Avon area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 91 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 27 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.
