55We have visited this spot a boat load of times (it’s the only one we visit). The hosts are always super nice and understanding of any requests we have. If you have a highly reactive dog they do have neighbors with reactive dogs that bark/stick their noses under the fence line. I would be mindful of that. The fence is solid though along with a super clean spot. Briana W.

55So sweet to leave treats, water, pet wipes, hand sanitizer, and a ball to play with. The yard is much bigger than I anticipated, my 58 lb mixed pup could easily get up a full head of steam. Very clean, perfect instructions, perfect fence. Well worth the relatively short drive from Richmond.Deborah S.

55A lovely, large yard with both shady and sunny spots to enjoy. The host provides amenities (water bowls, swimming pool, and toys) for your dog. There’s plenty of area in which to run and sniff. The yard is safe and we did not hear any other animals or people while we were there. It was so relaxing we could have spent the day there! We will definitely return! Joy M.

55Wow - an amazing spot. I’ve taken my pup here a couple of times and he has loved every minute of it. The host ensures that all are well taken care of leaving many places to sit, bug spray, poop bags, hand sanitizer, and more for the humans. For the pups, there are many enriching activities and the yard is spacious enough to really get some good running in. All this and at an affordable price? We are so grateful for this spot!Kaylynn H.

FAQ about our Mechanicsville 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.
