55The yard was great! My dog enjoyed being able to run around and chase his ball! The next door neighbor’s dog was visible through a fence and there was no reaction from either dog. Will definitely be back!Madeline P.

55Really nice area, and there was plenty of shade for my dogs to rest in. The brick off the patio is a little loose, so be careful on the steps! Otherwise fantastic!Mandy P.

55This spot was absolutely awesome! Lots of green grass and secure fencing for our large dog. We did not see anyone while we were there, but you will be able to see the neighbors if they are out in their yards. We will be back for sure! Brooke E.

55My dog had a blast checking everything out! Definitely wore himself out. However if your dog doesn’t like other dogs this may not be the best spot for you, as the neighbor dog likes to say hi through the fence! My boy didn’t mind though and was running up and down the fence line with him! Lily C.

55Very large, clean yard in a quiet neighborhood. There are a few spots in the fencing where my small dog (Jack Russell sized) could have easily escaped so we kept an eye on her. Bigger dogs would be totally fine. As others have mentioned, the neighbors do have a cute little shiba who will come to the fence. My dog loved running alongside him, but reactive dogs would not do well here. Sarah B.

55Caroline’s place is the perfect size for my 89 lbs pooch.
I appreciated all the shade the backyard trees offered. I was not concerned with my dog escaping from out the yard. The neighbor’s dog was friendly and playful . Thank you again for having a clean yard to play in.Papa G.

55By far this is one of our favorite spots. The yard is so well maintained, it is fully fenced which is a plus, the neighbor's dogsare great excercise for our Goldens, running up and down the fence line. We will visit again of course, as this is our second visit there. It is a little distance for us, but worth the drive.Mary P.

55Great contact! The fence was fairly closed, however there was a small opening at the front that if you had a small dog they’d be able to get into. Lots of room for the 4 legged creatures to run! Their neighbor they share a fence with did have her 2 dogs out, but was kind when our reactive lab was having a hard time relaxing, and ended up bringing them in. Would definitely stop again!Anna S.

FAQ about our Carmel 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.
