55Loved it! My dog is very reactive and being able to see him run around and get curious about the pond was so amazing!! The trail is clean as well and there’s even cute ducks in the pond. Definitely will be coming by again it’s given my dog a lot of confidence to be in his own without the leach as well. Rosa M.

55Had another fun visit to Taylor Pond! We ran into 3 different groups of people during the 1.5 hour visit, some with small children, so had to share the pond area and moved around the pond as the other groups moved so as to respect their space. The space is large enough that it didnt affect our visit very much and my dog had a great time zooming and sniffing and splashing in the pond. It is very important that your dog is friendly to strangers or have a good recall just in case there are other guests at the pond too.Annie D.

55This is a slice of heaven for everyone. From the ducks to the trail to the docks to the hammocks to the mud to the hose! 100 stars! I’ll be a regular now and would even pitch a tent and live there if I could. Our two dogs have never, ever had so much fun. Pure joy. Lou H.

55So much space for the dogs to run free! Beautiful location and completely fenced. Clean water bowls for use and extra doggy bags. There is a bathroom on site too. The dogs loved watching the ducks in the pond and chased dragonflies. Krista H.

55Second visit, we even had a rainbow. My dog is a hunter. She saw a bunny and managed to squeeze under the chain link fence to pursue it. I called her back and squished her back under. I don't think a normal dog will do this. There is no hole in the fence, so nothing to repair. My dog is just very determined when seeking prey. She's only 30 lbs and quite sneaky. The property is a doggy wonderland. Sue M.

55Great location for my two dogs to explore. My 8 mo pup even jumped into the pond and found out that he loved the water for the first time. The only thing is that because there are tenants at the location, there are open doors to the home there or the garage that your dog could wander into, so you’ll have to be mindful of that. Carder C.

55Had a great time at Taylor Pond this morning! I booked for an hour and a half and actually left a little early cause my dogs were pooped out already! My pitsky Tilly swam in water for the first time and it was so awesome to see her loving the water... she was trying to get to the ducks to no avail. My boxer Lennox barely got his toes wet and my lab/pit Samba enjoyed running through the pond. Thank you David for coming to say hello and offering your amazing place... we will be back again soon!Do C.

55Very pretty spot. Our dogs loved how much room they had to run and they played in the water too. Our new pup did not want to get in the car when it was time to leave. Jessica K.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
