55What a wonderful place to explore and exercise. It was our first time at "The Acres" and we will definitely return. A nice added bonus is a trail outside the fenced area that leads to a stream. Next visit we will be exploring that as well. Kathy was a wonderful hostess as always.Tanya P.

55We absolutely loved The Acres! Tons of room to run, good distractions to train in, new things and landscapes to discover and explore. The area is very secure, well fenced, and we felt welcome and comfortable there. An hour and a half here made for one tired pup! We will definitely be back. Amy E.

55This spot was perfect for my dog. He got to walk the perimeter of the fenced-in area, run freely and play fetch. Kathy, the owner, greeted us when we arrived and guided us to the play area. Very welcoming. Stacy K.

55This place is fantastic. Kathy was friendly and helpful. My family spent the full hour walking around and through this secure, beautiful and tranquil space. Our dog had a great time sniffing and zooming and practicing her recalls. We will be back again! We drove 1hr 15min (worth it) so unfortunately can’t go every weekend - although we’d love to.Christine C.

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 147 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.
