55Awesome first visit here and using the app. The yard was as advertised and what a treat to see my dog running around freely. The yard is clean, open and yes Shady. The host was kind enough and left out the sprinkler and we turned it on a few times in the hour long visit. I did walk the perimeter with Jax as it was recommended to check the area out. I will definitely make this a weekly visit to Shady Acres. Jax was chill the rest of the day after that visit. Great experience.Joseph D.

55We loved this place so much. The drive was long, but it was so worth it. I like the fact that the road can’t really be seen from the yard. My dog is a bit cat reactive. If people walk by the sidewalk, the dog can’t easily see them. It’s awesome for dogs who struggle with other dogs, people, cars… also, I loved the fact that there’s so much shade. Awesome for dogs who struggle with open fields. Bring bug spray, but it wasn’t so bad… they have this small stream in the back. Also, I loved the rope they have hanging, Pei loved it so much. This place is Pei approved.

55This private dog park is phenomenal ! Our 3 dogs had a great time running loose. Everything is clean, sunny, shady and had quite a few dog toys to play with. Also a sprinkler if the dogs got too hot. It was a great hour with them there. Thank you for giving us such an alternative. And the price is right too !

55This place is fantastic! No complaints whatsoever. It has a hose, sprinkler, toys, secure fence, & shaded areas ( even couches for the humans to sit down), tons of land for your pup to run around. Scooby loved every second of it. Thank you to the host for putting up your place for doggies to enjoy. We will be back! Olga E.

55Lovely shady yard. Our dog spent the whole time running, had a great time. The fence was pretty secure - my dog is a top notch escape artist and there were only one or two places I had to watch her more carefully. She was also very interested in some kind of hutch the next door neighbors were building but I didn't see any animals.Mal G.

FAQ about our Lakehurst 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 Lakehurst 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 54 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.
