55This is a great space, so many fun little areas and short trails to explore! Tilly had so much fun running through the woods and investigating all of the stone walls. Great spot to work on off leash recall as well, plenty of opportunities for your pup to wonder out of you line of sight while safe, secure and within ear shot. Abram H.

55It was a great spot for me to relax while my dogs ran around and explored. There was plenty of shade when the dogs got too hot and the fresh water bowls were wonderful and used frequently.Amy L.

55This is the absolute perfect spot for our beagle/lab mix! Multiple different area of terrain and natural obstacles. The flora and fauna provide so many scents to track and sneaky places to look for treasure. This is the perfect SniffSpot. Katie T.

55What a great sniffspot! Large yard with secure fencing, lots of room to run and play, and a variety of terrain to explore. With a rock wall and lots of trees, it’s a great place for playing hide and seek. We will definitely be back!Tiina A.

55This is a great spot, not too hard to get to, the fencing is high and secure (one back section is sagging a bit so if you have a high jumping, athletic, dog hell-bent on escape, I suppose there might be a mild risk— but I am not sure even that is true.) The two back yard acres offers a variety of terrain— hilly, more flat, rocky outcroppings, grass, open paths, stone walls, and wooded areas. The house makes up part of the front border, so my dog periodically sniffed around in the flower pots and garden hoses beneath their elevated deck, which I have to assume they don’t care about— since there was nothing blocking it. They had a huge bowl of water out that looked fresh plus a little picnic area back in one of the wooded areas. It is not highly manicured if you are looking for that (or at least not in the deep of winter). But it was JUST what my high-energy speedy mutt needed. Michelle M.

FAQ About Colchester 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.
