55Excellent yard! Parking is easy, right in the front. There are three gates, 2 in the front and one towards the back ensure they’re all closed before you unleash your pup. Liz H.

55This spot has something for every dog! Spacious grassy areas to run, wooded sections to sniff, a sandbox for digging, shade for relaxing, and tons of toys. It’s great for humans too - a nice area to hang out while your dog plays, and thoughtful touches like hand sanitizer, tissues, paw wipes, etc. Ginger even got to play with resident pup, Sophie, and had the best time!Meeghan M.

FAQ about our Dale City 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 237 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
