55We love this park and close location! All we need to do is shout “Park” and our 2 dogs start jumping in the air and running circles. Hopefully we can come more without all the rain this summer. Great place for dogs!!Mari K.

55I have a big lab that loves to play fetch.  Once he sniffed around the large area, we were ready to play ball. I had a nice place to sit and just keep pitching the ball till he laid down tired. He had a long drink of water and we were off playing again until he was really tired. Great time we will be back!!Barbara W.

55Great spot! Piper loved her time here. As apartment dwellers, we are always looking for places where she can run off leash but still be contained while not encountering other dogs. This is the perfect spot for her! Fenced in✅ Clean✅ Quiet✅ places to sit for humans✅ toys available✅ water available✅

55HUGE fenced in area that my golden retriever loved. Plenty of room - actually it’s massive. I played baseball in high school and college and I couldn’t even throw from 1 end to the other. Will be coming back! John M.

55Honestly, we cannot think of anything to improve this Sniffspot! We just love the agility course she keeps expanding on, the newly acquired dog pool, the cleanliness, the shade trees. “Perfect” is how we look at Dawn’s location!Mari K.

55Promised to take my 2 dogs to the dog park but it was closed thanks to it being Christmas Eve…. Couldn’t stand to see their sad little faces. I reached out to Cyndee & she responded immediately. Was beyond accommodating. Will definitely use again. Meredyth C.

55Super nice host, left out water and bug spray and goodies! Lots of space to run, pups can get a lot of zooms and sniffs in.
Buggy but the host leaves bug spray out for you. Overall a fun spot and we’ll be back! If your dog doesn’t have recall, get a long leash— the space is open so it won’t get tangled in trees. Madison T.

FAQ about our Summerville 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.
