Corey's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Wilmington

Fully Fenced
1 acre

*Note* The water spigot in the yard will be turned off during the cold months between November and March. I will provide a bowl of fresh water whenever I am able to do so, but it might be a good idea to bring some fresh drinking water for your pets if you think you’ll need it. Sorry for the inconvenience! Welcome to our 1 acre fully fenced private dog park! Some quick tips, make sure to look for our brick driveway as some GPS systems will navigate to our neighbors house. The gates are cattle style gates, to enter the backyard lift straight up on the back metal lever and push forward. Our fencing is mostly split rail fencing with some privacy fencing as well. There is wire around the entire perimeter to ensure safety. If you have extra small or toy size dogs I would recommend caution, but the fence is secure. We occasionally hear some dogs barking in our neighborhood, and my dogs on occasion but rarely may bark as well. I would also note that there are a few indoor/outdoor cats in our neighborhood that can be seen from time to time. A couple of further notes to be aware of. First off, this is not a small yard that is perfectly kept with 100% grass coverage. It is a very large field with some large trees especially in the back. Because of that, if we get heavy rain it will likely be a bit soggy, and there might be some spots of mud. This is mostly noticeable in the cooler months, but even in the summer if we get enough rain it is possible. If you have any issues with your dogs running and playing in a large field/wooded environment after heavy rainfall please be aware and schedule accordingly! Another note is there is a train that runs along the back of the house beyond the fence up on the hill. The dogs never seem to mind it though, we actually like it! Other than that, it is a very quiet neighborhood. I hope you enjoy!

Any additional people should be added under "extras". --- 2025 - REOPENED Hello guests! We have re-opened our spot - so many people have reached out, it's been hard to not allow bookings. Although the app is still problematic, we will work with you to find a solution. Please understand our slow responses are due to the app. IMPORTANT NOTE TO GUESTS I struggle with chronic illness / an autoimmune disease that often has me sidelined.

Frequently asked questions about New Castle County dog parks

Why are private dog parks better than public ones in New Castle County?

Private dog parks in New Castle County eliminate the major risks of public facilities: unpredictable dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, and chaotic environments that can overwhelm puppies, seniors, small dogs, or reactive pets. Sniffspot's 856 private New Castle County locations offer complete privacy, professionally maintained spaces, and flexible scheduling. Whether you have a nervous puppy or a dog-selective adult, private bookings give you control and peace of mind.

How are New Castle County Sniffspot locations different from public dog parks?

New Castle County Sniffspots offer: (1) Complete privacy with no other dogs during your booking, (2) Controlled environments without aggressive dogs or chaos, (3) Flexible scheduling based on availability, not rigid park hours, (4) Safety for dogs of all temperaments and ages, (5) Vetted and reviewed locations—93% of visits get 5-star reviews. You get all the benefits of off-leash exercise in New Castle County without public dog park risks.

Can reactive dogs safely use New Castle County dog parks?

Yes, and this is exactly what Sniffspot was designed for! New Castle County has 856 private locations where reactive dogs can exercise off-leash without encountering other animals. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers between visitors, your reactive dog won't face the triggers that make public dog parks impossible. Many New Castle County owners of reactive dogs rely on Sniffspot as their only safe exercise option.

What amenities help anxious or reactive dogs in New Castle County?

Look for New Castle County locations with "fewer dogs seen/heard" to minimize triggers for reactive dogs. Secure fencing prevents escapes during stress. Quiet, spacious properties reduce anxiety. Some New Castle County hosts specifically cater to nervous or reactive dogs with extra privacy features. Read reviews to find hosts who understand fearful or reactive dog needs.

How clean are New Castle County dog parks?

Unlike public dog parks where cleanliness varies wildly, Sniffspot hosts in New Castle County maintain their own spaces and take pride in providing clean environments. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers) to prevent disease transmission. Many New Castle County hosts provide poop bags and trash cans. Reviews highlight cleanliness, so you can choose well-maintained locations.

Can I visit New Castle County dog parks with multiple dogs?

Yes! Most New Castle County Sniffspots welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (like 2-3 dogs maximum), which will be noted on the listing. If you have several dogs—especially if some are reactive toward other dogs—Sniffspot's private bookings let them play together safely without outside interference.

Are New Castle County dog parks good for senior dogs?

Yes! New Castle County Sniffspot locations are excellent for senior dogs who need gentle exercise without the stress of public dog parks. Older dogs can explore at their own pace, rest when needed, and avoid being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or large dogs. Look for New Castle County spots with flat terrain, shaded areas, and smaller sizes if your senior has limited mobility.

How do I find dog parks in New Castle County for small dogs?

Filter New Castle County's 856 locations by "small dog friendly" to find spaces specifically suited for toy breeds and small dogs. These tend to be more intimate, with secure fencing that prevents squeezing through gaps. Some New Castle County hosts have separate small dog areas or cater specifically to petite pups who might get overwhelmed at large public dog parks.
