55We had a great time! There is plenty of room to play and smells and scenery to explore for the dogs. The fence is good and we didn't see other dogs which was preferred at least for now. Two of our boys jumped off the dock because of their keen interest in the geese swimming nearby. The only issue we had was the address link the app uses, it took us to I Street. We'll definitely return regularly, the boys loved it! Matthew D.

55Lovely spot, tons of space to run and really beautiful for humans too. Our dog had a great time splashing around in the shallows, exploring the property, and playing fetch.Niki A.

55I have a small dog, a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix. He had a blast! He is used to condo living and taking walks, so this fenced in yard allowed him the opportunity to run around, play fetch, and have a great time. When we went to enter, we couldn't get in, as the gate was locked from the inside. I rang the doorbell and the host came to greet us and allow us in the yard. He was courteous and kind. There was a small pen with three ducks inside the yard, but it was enclosed so the dogs couldn't access. Make sure to walk around the yard, as there is a little gap in the fence near the back of the yard a small dog could escape. I found something in the yard to put in front of it so the dog could not escape. Overall, a pleasant experience!Robert H.

55My two dogs absolutely loved the backyard. It was the perfect size and location. It had all we needed (balls, doggie poop bags, other toys, a doggy pool). So perfect! We will definitely make this a routine to come a few times a month. Thank you so much for the incredible experience! Annabel B.

55We have been to this Sniffspot many times and always have a great time. The signage helps you know where to go and the yard is nice and shady. The hosts always leave plenty of water and toys. Thank you for being our go-to! Amy L.

55Great spot, all aspects of the yard are well kept from the flowers/plants to grass and walkways. Looked intentional but there was also a pile of big sticks next to the toy box that my pup liked chasing.
I came here for a quiet training spot and having the wood fencing cover the yard it was less distracting for my pup than a public place. Darius Q.

55This yard was lovely! It was nicely maintained, including the tall, secure fence. We arrived to bowls filled with cold fresh water, and an assortment of balls and sticks! There was plenty of shade. We were there at 3:30 on a weekday and found parking easily on Ivy St, super close to the house. The house had a Sniffspot sign and it was clear where to enter the yard. Great experience.Suzanne H.

55This was our first time trying sniff spot and it did not disappoint! Everything was just as described in the host listing and my dog absolutely loved it. The fencing was high and secure- reassuring for me! Beautiful yard with plenty of space for a larger dog to play and explore. Loved that water and tennis balls were included! Will definitely be booking this spot again!Jean S.

55Fantastic spot! This was my first time using Sniffspot, and it’s so convenient and reasonably priced. This spot had at least a dozen tennis balls, sticks to chew on, and 2 overflowing bowls of water. My dog was very happy to sniff and run about. I will definitely be visiting again.Katie M.

FAQ about our New Castle 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.

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 New Castle area are 5 stars.
