55Great spot! Lots of toys and activities for pups. Poop disposal, clean up supplies, lots of seats and a rain shelter! Owner was very nice and accommodating too!
55The backyard was worth the drive! My dog Teo loved running around (especially in and out of the pool). There were lots of new smells and toys to play with. Thank you again for opening up your backyard.
55Very spacious and very clean, many sources of water for your pup and you, lots of toys there to play with and I highly recommend to come here if you want a tired puppy
55Amazing place. We had three dogs running around and loving every second. Bigger dog loved the tug toys, smaller pups loved the agility stuff. We brought treats and did some good training too. 11/10.
55Great stimulation for our pup. Even though he's a bigger dog, he had fun running back and forth. There were water stations for him to drink at and chairs for us to relax. Well thought out space with complete privacy. It's a close enough drive for a quick break. Getting on and off the main road was a slight challenge. We will definitely be back!!
55All the amenities were so fun!
55Loves how open the place is, had lots of toys and fun things for my dog to do. Water available throughout spot, kiddie pool for dogs to lounge
55Best place to visit - lots of things for dogs to do/play with. Places for people to sit while dogs romp around. Today there was a kiddie pool of water than my golden retriever absolutely loves. Glad to have found this little gem in the city and looking forward to returning.
55What an amazing spot The set up is fantastic My girl had so much fun and so did we There was so much fun things we were able to do with her So many different options of toys and balls The pool and the ball pit were so amazing Can’t wait to take her back for some more fun 🐾💖
55Definitely worth repeating and will no doubt return to this sniff spot. The location is ideal (5 min drive from home). We have a pool in our backyard so no longer have grass/room to run off leash. Unfortunately, one of my pups can be dog selective and the other one is fearful of everything (even on meds for this) so dog parks or places with excess stimuli/people/nooses are off limits for us. This is a little piece of heaven in the city for our pups. ♥️

Stage 4 cancer survivor, 4 times and 18 years later...going strong. Making my backyard a safe, entertaining, and educational area for dogs to thrive and just be dogs is priceless. Here they are free and happy. Sharing our spot so that other dogs can be themselves without passing judgment or harassed by those who just don't quite understand, they think they do but don't. Like every human, dogs are different and just need to be understood. Just because it states off Leash Park doesn't mean that...dogs must have an amazing recall for that statement to be in effect in public areas. So Good Welcome to All 🙏
