55Wonderful spot for my little chihuahua to run around! The fence was very secure. My dog is 13lb, and there were no issue with him trying to escape. We had a great time. Haley J.

55We really enjoyed our time at the Patch. Bandit has so much fun. Very clean, plenty to do and plenty of room to do it in. Securely fenced, no worries off the leash. A couple of shady spots to cool off. The host was quick to respond to messages. We look forward to coming back soon.Neil F.

55London loved it. Less decor because it is the off season but still picturesque. Very nice bringing your dog out and not having to worry about other dogs or people!Andie B.

55Fantastic, open area with plenty of room for sniffing and running around. Fairly quiet - you can hear goats in the distance, and sometimes larger vehicles pass by on the road, so pretty normal for a country farm. The play area is also fenced in well, and was very easy to access, with additional parking available right next to the entrance gate. Abbie L.

55Derek was great! I picked a cold morning to visit so the lock was frozen, but Derek came right out to let us in. This lot was perfectly private without being uncomfortably secluded. Easy to get to & my dog enjoyed running around. Currently scouting the area as a potential place to relocate to & this would be a spot I’d happily return to if I relocated here.Darcy B.

FAQ about our Byron 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.
