Description

Welcome to the Golden Dog Playground. We are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and by appointment only Monday through Thursday. Planning a special occasion or need to reserve a specific visit time outside our open hours? Message us here or call/text (603) 815-2453. The Golden Dog Playground is located on more than 5 scenic acres in Barrington, NH, with just over 1 acre of fenced-in space, the Playground was created to give dogs a safe, enriching place to simply be dogs. This private space encourages natural dog behavior through sniffing, exploring, digging, moving, observing, water play (seasonal), and confidence-building activities. It is not just a place to run — it is a thoughtfully designed environment where dogs can move at their own pace, build confidence, and enjoy off-leash freedom without the pressure of a public dog park. The Playground includes two connected fenced areas, enrichment toys, confidence-building equipment, a digging station, sensory experiences, natural fitness opportunities, seasonal water play, fresh water, clean bowls, waste bags, and easy disposal. Some dogs come to play. Some come to sniff, settle, and explore. Some need space to build confidence in a calm, controlled environment. However your dog uses the space, the goal is the same: enrichment, confidence, connection, and the simple joy of being a dog. Golden Dog Club members receive a $5 off coupon code for Playground visits. Check the member discount page.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Sturdy wire fencing encompasses the Golden Dog Playground. If your dog is very small they could possibly fit through the spaces between the gates and fences and the fence and side of our house. In addition to the entrance gate, there is an emergency exit gate as well as 3 gates, which are locked, along the back fence in the woods. There is a wood pile under the solar array where little critters like to live and hang out. Please be aware in case your dog has a high prey drive that they may be particularly interested in this area. There are so many fun things for your dogs to engage with at the Playground, including a digging station, enrichment toys, a stretching board, confidence building equipment, natural fitness stations, and more (seasonally)! **We do advise that your dog wears a harness and that you guide them on the confidence building equipment to avoid injury.** Annually, the forest area gets blown free of debris, but rocks, roots, sticks, will be visible from storms/wind. We work diligently to keep these areas clean and safe. The back lawn can be a bit uneven due to settling of loam/rocks. There are also compost bins on the property. They are enclosed but something to be aware of. There are Hosta plants and other ornamentals within the fenced-in areas (seasonal). There is a landscaped area near our porch with rocks, a fire pit, chairs and ornamentals. This area is fenced off. Please do not let your dog enter this fenced off area.

Extras

Don't Worry About Poo Pickup5 credits

No need to worry about waste pick up when your dog poops. We will clean up your dogs poo for you!

Flirt Pole0 credits

A flirt pole offers numerous benefits for dogs, including increased physical activity, mental stimulation, improved impulse control, and a stronger bond with you. It simulates the natural prey drive, encourages interaction, and can be used as a training tool.

Large Splash Pool10 credits

The large pool is filled approximately 1/3 full and comfortably accommodates 1–2 dogs for a relaxing cool-down. Toss in a ball and let your dog enjoy splashing and playing in the water! Because we pay quarterly for our own water and have seen an increase in costs, we have had to adjust the pool add-on rate. Reserve 2 hours for 2 dogs and receive for free. Need a larger pool for 3–4 dogs? Message us for details.

Zoomies2Zen—a private, peaceful space where your pup can run free, sniff to their heart's content, and unwind in a fully enclosed yard.

Fully Fenced

0.17 acres

Give your dog a fun, safe place to run and play! Our large, private yard is perfect for off-leash time, with plenty of room to chase balls and Frisbees or just explore and sniff. We provide toys including balls and a Frisbee, plus fresh water to keep your pup hydrated. On warmer days, dogs can cool off in a wading pool, and towels are available for drying off before heading home. Conveniently located near I-95, our spot is easy to get to whether you're local or just passing through. Please note: The yard is fenced, but the fencing is not suitable for small dogs or escape artists. Whether your dog needs exercise, enrichment, or a quick play break during travel, this is a welcoming, easy-access spot for larger pups to enjoy. Let your pup zoom, sniff, explore, and then relax in a safe, private yard designed with both energy and peace in mind. We’ve added little extras to make your visit easy, fun, and tail-wag worthy.

Bear Brook Canine Camp

Fully Fenced

2 acres

Fully fenced in approximately two acres. We now have lighting for nighttime use. Approximately five times around the property perimeter equals a mile. We have chuck-it throws and balls, many toys, sand/digging areas, pools and agility equipment in a large, fenced area for you and your dog to romp around. Main entrance to the yard can be found by entering the second driveway and parking in the designated parking area in front of the solar barn. We do not plow that driveway in the winter as it’s just gravel. So, feel free to park at the bottom of my driveway and walk to the SS gate if you’re not comfortable using the SS driveway in the winter. We ask that you please adhere to our 24 hour notice when changing or canceling a reservation. We are always fully booked on weekends and most weekdays too. A 24 hour notice allows enough time for someone else to fill a newly open reservation. Feel free to reach out via text 603-682-7216 with any questions or concerns. Enjoy! Melodie

Sarah's Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Manchester

Fully Fenced

1 acre

Welcome to our Sniffspot—where dogs can truly be dogs! We chose this home for its large, private yard and created a safe, fun space for pups to run, play, and sniff to their heart’s content. The front of the yard features a 6-foot privacy fence, while the rest is enclosed with a combination of 6-foot wood, chain link, and heavy-duty wire fencing. It’s fully secure and suitable for both large and small dogs. Your pup will love exploring the variety of scents left behind by local wildlife—birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and the occasional raccoon or fox make for an exciting visit! We hope your dog enjoys it as much as ours does!
