55Great space for my 1 year old to run around. Remember to take water. There is some there but surrounded with wasps. Not sure if my boy was stung or notClare M.

55On the chance the right person will see this, a pair of red framed glasses has been left behind - I left them under the ramp by the water tank on Wednesday as the wind was blowing them off every other suitable spot.Vivienne H.

55Well fenced & secure paddock with plenty of room for the dog to run around like a maniac. Sasha had the time of her life sprinting all over the place and sniffing everything in sight. We definitely will be visiting regularly.Paul M.

55Beautiful this morning, as always… freshly mowed which was lovely for me and great for occupying my doggo’s sniffers! PS their husky feet say thank you - they were a bit precious about the thistles when running laps 🙂 problem solved!!Liz D.

55This is a great spot! Secure fencing all round (Maggie-Ann inspected every inch looking for a way out), a good mix of terrain to really exert my dog, lots of long grass and bushes for her to sniff and explore, a good size for recall training. Happy dog, happy owner! Highly recommend!Vivienne H.

55Beautiful spot usually but more so at the moment as it’s all lush & green!! My twins (Husky’s) love it… they just about die with excitement as soon as I mention the “doggo farm” 😂 Always lovely & clean, quiet, with easy access to water & ball chuckers. I left a couple of brand new tennis balls there for other doggo’s to enjoy on Monday (as the existing ones were looking a bit over-loved… another great sign that this spot is magic ❤️ Thank you Kent & Family for providing this wonderful (stress-free) place for my hyper fur-kids to run free from harnesses and traffic.

55Not only was it a stunning drive to the location, but the area itself was stunning too! Caesar and I had a lovely, very relaxing game of fetch. There’s a bench to have a seat, water facilities and a couple ball throwers. Clean and tidy with a beautiful surrounding. Will definitely be back!Sonja G.

55For our first experience it was a great area for our 18 month old lab retriever to burn some energy as all enclosed. Water is available, a bench to sit on, ball thrower and ball but we took all of our own toys to entertain. The only issue we would raise is the grass was so long our pup had a couple of grass seeds that had to be removed from his paws. Rachel E.

55Great spot for our 2 reactive dogs to have a run around on our way down to Hastings from Hamilton. Safe and private location with adequate fencing and water provided. Take your own toys and poo bags.
There were lots of large prickles in the ground, one of our dogs stood on one and was limping for a short while after, so just something to bare in mind if you have a sensitive dog. Our other dog didn't care and had a great time running around!
Thank you for sharing the spot with us :)

55What an amazing idea / spot / resource for doggo parents!! We have 2 Husky’s that we can never let off-lead anywhere due to their speed, stamina and desire to run til they drop!. They had an absolute ball running free and it was a joy to watch them have sprinting competitions and just do dog-stuff 🙂 great safe space - the water bowls, hose and ball chuckers were a nice surprise. We’ll be coming back on a weekly basis! Thank you for this incredible space 👍Liz D.

55Just spent the last hour watching my dogs have the time of their lives. Running free, sniffing, chasing balls, access to fresh water, they were in their element,
all thanks to this great idea of a secure park for owners to use undisturbed. Great work. Will be back on the regular.Amanda S.

55Our boxer Zac had an amazing time running around of lead. He can be reactive on lead towards other dogs, so having a place where he can be off lead safely is perfect. We would highly recommend The Dog Farm. I would suggest taking a sun umbrella is summer for shade :)Jen C.

Frequently asked questions about Eskdale dog park
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. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Eskdale 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 5 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
Does Eskdale have any fully fenced dog parks?
