55Our pups had a great time! This place was massive, so my working dogs had lots of room to not only swim, but to play fetch in the backyard. The pool is concrete on the inside as well, so I recommend clipping your dogs’ nails before coming or else they’d break them like my pups did. There is a shady area for humans to hang out too, with a fan that kept the area cool. All in all, the BEST Sniffspot in the area! Alexandria K.

55We all had a wonderful, beautiful, peaceful, relaxing, fun, and enjoyable time at this spot! Our little Westies had so many options of things to do; climb the steps, smell the flowers, investigate smells near the shed and around the perimeter of the yard, and even take a small dip in the pool. The yard is so well maintained and absolutely gorgeous, and to have the house as a backdrop just made the scene breathtaking. Thank you for supplying trash cans, waste bags, water, toys, and treats. Our girls were so happy today. Now they’re napping! We will be back again… and again… and again. THANK YOU for sharing a piece of your wonderful home with us. Brynn P.

55This place was wonderful! We've been looking for a place with a pool, because Maebh loves to swim but has never seen a pool - until today! It took her a few minutes to warm up to the idea, but then she didn't want to leave. The hosts were very kind and left us toys, an emergency kit, and fresh drinking water. Directions were excellent! We just hope we didn't disturb anyone, because someone would get excited and play bark every so often. We will definitely be back. Jess M.

55Excellent directions to the location, and Kathy met us at the car to show us around. There was a bench for sitting and a mowed path around the fence line so I could walk around while my dog explored. Waste supplies were available (though I brought my own). It was a beautiful spot to spend a spring evening!Diane H.

55Both The Acres and The Pond are exceptionally well maintained with high, strong fencing all around. There is a path cleared to a little creek just outside The Acres so dogs can have a pre and post-play drink on hot days. I will most definitely come back anytime I’m in the area Diana S.

FAQ about our Manchester 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 Manchester 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 172 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 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.
