55Crystal was very sweet and accommodating and her kids are very cute! Dogs had a great time and were very intrigued by the sheep across the street, the chickens next door (privacy fence between ) and the two tiny dogs in the adjacent yard. Thanks!! :)Sarah D.

55The host was very friendly! They put water out for the dogs to drink and had chairs for the humans to sit in. There was plenty of space for my dogs to run and play! Will definitely go back. Jessica V.

55Me and my dogs love this spot. Makes you feel so far away from Jacksonville but we were in Jacksonville! We love the layout of the ponds and trails and creeks with lil cliff-like spaces in parts of the woods. Lots of climbing and jumping opportunities for the dogs. My dogs were on an adventure and loved it. This is a place we'll return to fur sure.Z C.

55The property owner was great, very quick to respond to my questions. The property itself is a little over grown and a little soggy so wear long pants and shoes you don’t mind getting a little dirty. The dogs had a blast though! Will definitely come again. Next time I’ll be prepared with towels so they can swim in the pond.Jessica V.

FAQ about our Jacksonville 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Jacksonville 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 54 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 8 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
