55Really cool, large yard. Our dog was in heaven and had SO much fun! Yard was fully fenced but fence did appear to have some partially broken spots that a dog COULD get through if they tried. It was perfect enough for our dog but may not be the best for true escape artists. Also, there is an in-ground pool that was just opening up. Our dog loves water and cannot resist jumping in, so may have to wait until the fall to come back so she doesn’t intrude! Kiley C.

55A beautiful, big yard for the pups! We went there to practice agility, and it was perfect for our needs (short grass, no holes, fenced in). The gate to the yard is right next to the driveway, so it was very easy to get the dogs and equipment in and out.Kate N.

55Terrific! Great present for my standard poodle's birthday. Exceeded my high hopes. The yard was well-kept so he was really able to run. Even at doggy day care he hasn't gotten that much exercise. Nice shady places to escape the hot sun. First Sniffspot we've been to, no idea about others but am definitely coming back to Wilton!Dee S.

55Enjoyed our first visit. Large grassy area with woods in back. Lots of room to roam. There was a gap in the fencing towards the back as others have noted. It was not an issue for us but might be for others. My pup really enjoyed! All in all a terrific experience. I hope to return. Beth S.

55Place was perfect for my crazy doggo! A 2 year old golden retriever usually has a lot of energy and needs a lot of room to play. This backyard is so big that my dog was exhausted after a few minutes! :) we are definitely coming back. Greg was efficient and answered all of my questions right away. Such a great option for us dog owners! Ana S.

55there's a couple downed fence areas so if you have any slippery snakes that look like dogs, a heads up, but otherwise, it is an awesome spot for the dogs to run and play! I brought two of my dogs who cannot be in an unfenced area and don't have a fence yet (just moved last week!) and they had such fun running and playing in this sniffspot!!Emmett A.

55This was a wonderful spot for my dog, it was clean as expected, quiet, no triggers for my reactive dog. We took a walk around the space to check out the fencing and it was indeed fully fenced for the exception of the driveway itself, so keep that in mind if a lose dog is a concern for you. The Host left clear instructions on directions for entry to the property. Christina G.

55We could not be more grateful to have found such an incredible resource for both our dog and other dogs we know, who otherwise wouldn't have access to a safe place to swim/learn to swim/and play. And of course, we're most grateful to Leslie and her incredible generosity and devotion to dogs. Thank you a million times over for opening your home and providing our pups with such a wonderful addition to their lives. Sarah Z.

55I cannot recommend this location highly enough! My friend and I (and our two dogs) went to Leslie’s this afternoon and had the most amazing time. The area is lovely and the yard is beautiful—very private and bucolic with a large, grassy area where dogs can run. The pool was completely fenced, and the water was the perfect temperature. Leslie answered any questions I had right away and was incredibly communicative throughout the reservation process, and she and her boyfriend were the most gracious and welcoming hosts. In every respect, it was a fabulous experience; I will definitely be back!Jennifer R.

55Our two doggies had so much fun at Leslie's! The pool is closed off and there are life vests, toys, sunblock, bug spray available for use. Leslie has water bowls and poop bags ready. The steps to get into the pool are very helpful for dogs to walk in and out. The backyard is huge and fenced in. We are so lucky to live near this sniff spot!Shelly M.

55Leslie’s yard is amazing, clean, and safe. The entire space is fenced in with an additional fence around the pool. She is extremely responsive and was an excellent host. My dog was able to sniff and get his zoomies out in the well maintained yard and then had himself a dip in the pool! Marta O.

55Pacino had a great time this morning at Leslie's! We have 4 dogs but I wanted him to have his own special time. Directions to get there and enter the yard are very clear. The yard is spacious, clean & secure. Great for zoomies! Love the separate fencing around the pool. The pool was clean & warm. My other dogs will want to come next! Thank you for sharing your space!Jeanne U.

55What a beautiful place! Everything was great! The yard is gorgeous, clean and nicely fenced - and so large, perfect for our dog and his BFF to race around in. The pool was magnificent. Clean, pretty and so refreshing on a hot day. Our dog is large and doesn’t like the heat. He loves to swim and this spot was terrific. Great communication by the host. Five stars!Alisa V.

FAQ about our Beacon 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 Beacon 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 161 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 47 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.
