55My rescue pup and foster dog had the BEST TIME running around and playing fetch with the balls that were left out for us to play with! It made my heart so happy to see them be able to run around! The hosts were so awesome they left out balls, a toy, poop bags, a towel, and a fresh bowl of water. This was my first time using Sniffspot and we would love to come back here for more playtime!Amanda H.

55A lovely sniffspot! Just the right mix of sun and shade, large enough to explore, run and play fetch but not too big that I might lose track of dog or balls. I have an injured ankle and the comfy chairs and amenities on the patio were the perfect pampering for me and our foster dog to continue our training. I will return and I would recommend this sniffspot for any dogs and people who want to enjoy the outdoor experience. Kristen C.

55Our boys had a great time exploring around this spot and I felt safe and relaxed letting them do their thing. The property is a completely secure nature trail. Being a beautiful Sunday afternoon some of the neighbors were walking their dogs but the property is high on a hill and far removed from the street — there were no encounters. The host left treats for the pups and water for the humans. Both of our high energy dogs were completely exhausted after one hour. We will be back frequently to this spot. I’m so grateful to have a beautiful, fun and safe place to let the boys run. Pete and Paco give this place a 4 paws up!Adrienne S.

55My dog had so much fun exploring this spot! It’s got everything you need in a sniffspot: secure fencing, friendly host, clear instructions, hose for muddy paws, water, treats, and toys! My dog was disappointed when it was time to leave so I’m sure we’ll return soon! Michelle M.

55What a gem! Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable, with spotless water bowl and treats and toys for the dogs! It was easy to find thanks to the detailed access notes and my two dogs had a wonderful time, as did I. I didn’t really notice any construction noise (Thursday lunchtime). And as someone mentioned the place being on top of a hill, passerbys aren’t really a distraction from the serene environment. I’m already planning to come back with friends to relax while our pups explore. My senior dog who’s battling an aggressive cancer was so thrilled with the place she ran around like a puppy! Thanks for welcoming us, Anna!Dasha K.

55Our foster pup (and his humans) had such a great time here! Such a beautiful home and neighborhood. The set up was perfect. The woods provided ample space for frolicking while the humans chill out on the patio. Our dog was passed out cold on the way home....exactly what we were aiming for! ;) Aimee K.

55Really a wonderful shaded spot for my pup to roam. The directions and instructions were perfect and the host has a wonderful setup to enjoy your time. It is a rather steep lot, but the shade is much appreciated and my pup had no problem navigating the terrain. Sandy P.

55My dog loved it here. It’s exactly as advertised - there’s a flat, small fenced area and then a larger hilly wooded area behind it. You definitely need good shoes to navigate the hill. It felt pretty private though there were some dogs farther than 50 feet away that my dog enjoyed barking with and you can see walkers on the street below you. Lots to sniff and investigate as well. The owner left some toys, clean water, bags and treats for us, which were nice to have. Cara H.

FAQ about our Ellenwood 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. 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ellenwood area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 366 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 59 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
