55Great spot. Big yard and nice pool area. Plenty of amenities. I read all instructions before going but there are plenty of directional signs as well. My dog’s favorite thing is sniffing around, so that is what he mostly did. He didn’t want to go in the pool, I thought he would. Maybe try again another time. Thank you for the hospitality!Nicole N.

55Ever since Opie lost his leg, we try to seek out opportunities for him to swim since it can be such good joint exercise for a “tripawd.” Leslie’s Wags and Whiskers Wonderland provided that and beyond. We had such a wonderful time not just splashing in the pool but also frolicking around the spacious yard. The personal touches like the welcome gift bag of treats were so very appreciated. Leslie, I hope you’re ready to see us around more often! Thank you for providing such a fun space for our special guy. 😊Ronan C.

55We had such a delightful time!!!! We’ve been wanting to check out this spot for the longest time, and now that we finally have we can’t wait to go back!! One of our dogs really loves to swim and the other really loves to run, and they both got the best of both worlds. Leslie even left our pups a sweet gift to welcome us for our first visit 🥰 we could barely get a good photo of our girls sitting still because they were just so excited to be swimming/running around the whole time! We now have two sleepy pups that are going to be nice and relaxed for the next few days 🫶🏼 If you’re thinking about visiting here, DO IT!!! 💕Chelsi K.

55This was the ultimate way to beat the 98° heat and have a blast with my pup! He has never really been that keen on fully getting in the water, so this was the perfect situation to get more comfy. He ended up not wanting to leave the pool. He was so happy! Thank you, Leslie for the welcome treat. My puppy used the lifevest for half the time and then he got confident! He loved all of the toys and will be so excited to come back.Angela T.

55Our pup had a great time making use of the fenced in open field. He also got a chance to swim for the first time in the well maintained pool. They have a lot of toys, other facilities set up so all you have to do is bring your pup along, no need to bring extras. Ashwin A.

55This Sniffspot is absolutely amazing! The space is incredibly large, giving our dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play freely. The swimming pool is clean and well-maintained—our pups had an absolute blast splashing around! The park is also equipped with everything you could possibly need: toys, water, shade, and seating. The host is very responsible, responsive, and clearly puts a lot of care into keeping the place safe and welcoming. Our dogs had a fantastic time, and we’ll definitely be coming back soon.

FAQ About West Caldwell Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?

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.
