55This place was great. Plenty of shade and sun. Nice tall fences. Only issue was the big dog next door, my reactive dog had a hard time for a few minutes, but the neighbors took him right back in. Definitely will be back!Tarah L.

55Beautiful backyard. My dogs first experience with a pool and they were a little unsure. Once I figured out how to latch the gate properly I felt much better about my dogs safety. This yard is absolutely gorgeous and I look forward to coming back again. Danielle U.

55What a great spot to take your pup. My girl was hesitant about the pool but it wasn’t hot today. I think she’ll be more receptive when she wants to cool off because she likes to swim. I threw a ball for her instead and she got plenty of exercise! So fun. Thanks for the memories.Connie W.

FAQ about our Fort Lauderdale 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Fort Lauderdale 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 210 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 29 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.
