55This place is very nice! It does have some cool light slopes that makes my pup enjoying the ups and downs of her tennis ball. It is clean and it is fully fenced to be free of any worries 😀Nury T.

55Great spot!! Lots of room for my pup to run, well fenced, and 2 entrances just in case appointments overlap and you have to get one dog out and as another is coming in. The only thing to be cautious of is that it is mostly uneven ground, so if you have a senior pup or any mobility issues, just be aware it is not flat. But it was clean, well maintained, and secure.

55Very nice, securely fenced backyard. My dogs had a great time running around and exploring every corner of it. The only downside was that the landscapers came during our visit. They blew leaves and came into the yard to deposit them. My dogs are ok with people so I only had to watch that they don’t follow out of the gate. We cut our visit 10 min short to let them do their work.Sabine H.

55This was spot was great! Ziggy had a great time sniffing around the mix of landscapes here - grassy lawn, wild wood areas, and lots of logs to hop around on. We’ll be coming back soon! …I saw a note about cleanliness issues here but I didn’t notice anything out of sorts.Marilyn S.

55Easy to get to, great instructions, and a wonderful time had by all! It was exactly how it was described. Fully fenced in but enough wooded area where my dog felt like she was exploring. I did pick up 💩 left by another so I wouldn’t step in it but otherwise, very clean throughout, quiet, and safe. We will definitely be back!Mildred D.

55Once again had a great visit at this spot. My dog Jake thoroughly enjoys all the varied areas to explore.
The size of the location is perfect as I can keep an eye on Jake as he’s wandering around.
Look forward to returning soon. Alice L.

55Loved the place! So much room to run. Our dog had a blast. The fence was tall and it's a very private space, which made it peaceful and relaxing. The only problem was that their dog ran out in the middle of our appointment. The owners got him in fast, but it could've been a bad situation of my dog was aggressive. They were very apologetic. Overall we had a great experience! Audrey V.

55Great space with a secure fence that combines an open yard with a "woodsy" area for the fogs to sniff and play around. Our dogs had a blast playing "tag" around the trees and other obstacles while being able to go full speed and let loose. Wonderful day and yard!Neil O.

FAQ About Thornwood 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.
