55My dogs had a fantastic time at this spot. They enjoyed running in the grass, splashing in the pond, and racing through the wooded area on the hill. I liked that this spot was more than just a field, there was enough varied topography that it kept the dogs curious and stimulated. We will be back!Anne V.

55This place is fantastic! Belle enjoyed running through the field, chasing a ball, and we enjoyed sitting on the bleechers in the shade. The area is clean and very well maintained. Madeline B.

55What an excellent experience! We live 10 mins away and will be back regularly 🙂 we got a rescue from Texas in January and it has limited the time my other dog gets to run at dog parks because he is a little reactive to other dogs. This was fully fenced in and my dogs are happy and exhausted! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Brenda S.

55Nice to have some new equipment for dogs to try out for basic agility for this visit.
Per others mentioning, yes there’s poison parsnip but it’s mainly at the entrance and east side so avoid it and try to stop spreading. I didn’t unleash my dog until we rounded the “corner”. Didn’t see any on the north/west open field. Yes, there’s a lot of burs around also on the hill and many plants trying to start everywhere. There’s also so much else around to enjoy. Saw snakes, heron, wildflowers, bullfrog, critter holes, etc. It’s a nature park also in our view. We like the diversity and understand how much work goes into the care of land that size. It’s a great size for an hour sniff and exercise. There were a few poops around from previous guests is my only note and hope everyone continues to scoop after their dogs. Thankful for this to be near us for a different play option. Mk S.

55My dogs loved that there was a variety of terrain; mostly grassy, there is a small hill through some trees and vegetation.
If you go after rain be aware that there will be several puddles that you may not see. It was nice that there are a couple agility pieces for the pups to experience too.
Will definitely book again! Thank you!Angela H.

55That was honestly so much fun for dogs and humans. Me and my friend both live in the city so someplace like this where our 3 boys can just be free is hard to come by if at all. Having your own personal dog park is so freeing no other dogs or people and they can just run, be happy and care free. We had no issues here and will return ! Tip: bring towels and lots of water!

55What a lovely spot for our pups! The property was perfectly spacious and offered plenty of room for them to run and explore. The trees offered some nice shade for breaks between playing. Will definitely bring the dogs back!Jess T.

55This is a really great spot! Cooper had a great time running around and exploring the marsh. I thought there would be more agility items (ramp, tunnel), but we had a fun time trying out the hoop, jumping bar and weave posts. We'll definitely be back!Haley A.

55My pup Cheddar had the time of his life! Be aware that there is a pond and some puddles on the property so it’s best that humans bring rain boots for maximum comfort! Highly recommend!! Stefanie D.

55We had a wonderful time visiting today! My dogs are finally tired, and so happy! We had a great visit, the dogs enjoyed running and freedom without the stress of seeing other dogs. We were also so happy for them, and it was very peaceful and quiet. We cannot bring the dogs to the dog parks or around other dogs, so this is just what they needed. Our only complaint was that we didn’t have our Starbucks coffee with us lol! We know to bring one next time so we can enjoy the peace and quiet while our dogs have the time of their lives, running, exploring and being free. We can’t wait to visit more often!Stephany L.

55The dog park is truly awesome! It’s so spacious for our two furry babies to explore, run and sniff. The fence is secure enough so we quickly dropped our worries. There are some shades up in the little hill for us to take a break from the sun. In the future if there could be a gazebo or a water facility to hose down the dogs would be perfect! We will be back for sure!Cher L.

55Very clean, lots of space, no one around felt very safe with fencing - fabulous venue, particularly for one of our 2 Golden Retrievers who is very reactive. Easy to find, well marked, seating. Next time we’ll take bug spray (encountered some mosquitos) and a dog brush (a few burrs) but the dogs had a GREAT time! Definitely recommend. Sandra A.

55Clayton provided information that made our play time nice. Milo really enjoyed having the whole space for him. I really like that it is completely fenced in. Was not worried at all. Fresh water was in the bowl. Liked the entrance sign as well.Tanya D.

55Perfect for our two crazy, crazy fast dogs. They ran, romped, wrestled, wallowed, and had a blast. The area is really big - plenty of room to really run and explore. The center wooded area was a huge hit for our two. There is a little mud, that might affect some visitors, but our dogs loved it. No issues with fence or site at all - will definitely be back!

FAQ about our Rockcliffe Park 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.
