55We had a great time! We will definitely be back. A word of caution for little dogs, there are a few gaps in the fences that the tiniest of dogs could probably squeeze through. We used patio furniture to block the gaps, and all was well. Meredith C.

55This was a great spot! Spacious, clean, well-kept. Loved that there were toys and a water bowl for the pup and seats for us humans to hang at. Only comment is that there is a fig tree in the yard that was dropping fruit. If your dog loves to eat things off the ground, like our does, it’s just something to be mindful of. It didn’t hinder our visit at all though.
Can’t wait to book here again. Caleigh C.

55What a lovely spot!! Everything was exactly as listed—fully fenced yard, hose, easy entrance, chairs to sit in, plus shade to sit under while our dog sniffed and ran around. Ian had a chalkboard sign up welcoming us by name at the entrance to the background which was so sweet, made our day! Highly recommend this spot, thank you so much Ian and family!Kate V.

55Such a lovely yard and lovely host, with toys to play with, and water. So thoughtful. Shade galore. There are neighbors chickens (not visible really but you can hear them at times) behind the bamboo fence that's along the driveway so just be sure to not let your dog bother them! Will definitely be back, so grateful to be able to visit a yard like this in the city!Kayla N.

55Took my two dogs and cat here and they had a blast exploring. The property is located in a very quiet and peaceful area. There are chairs to sit and a trash can for poop bags. As other visitors have said, be mindful of the fig tree if your pet likes to pick things up, the gaps between the fence doors (small dogs can slip through), and the neighbors’ chickens! Overall nice experience and Ian was a great host! Tiffany V.

55This place is great. It’s quiet and clean. It’s the perfect amount of space to let your dog run around or just chill in the grass. There’s plenty of seating in and out of the sun. Just a great private escape for you and your dog. Alan C.

FAQ about our Brooklyn small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Brooklyn?
There are 232 small dog parks in the Brooklyn area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
