55Wonderful place for sniffs and running! My two Aussie mix girls were extremely happy to explore the whole place. They weren’t bothered at all by a very calm horse just minding its own biz in the next paddock. Lots of variety (lawn and some thickety wooded spots) and very securely fenced and private. No people walking by. Water and poo bags and chairs were a welcome sight. There are shady spots for humans to relax in also! Thank you!Amy D.

55Judith's property is fully fenced and our pups had a blast! There were chairs for the humans if need be and agility equipment for the dogs. They loved running around the large open space as well as along the fence behind the trees. We would definitely go back again!

55This is my dogs' favorite place to go. It's very well maintained and clear with just enough brush for the dogs to follow their noses. They never want to leave:) Maria C.

FAQ About New Paltz 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.
