55My dog Colton had a great time. There was plenty of space for him to run around and smell. The fence was secured. The host left treats, water bottles, a bowl and other helpful items. It was easy to find and located in a nice area. A perfect way to let my pup be off leash. Simone p.

55This was our first time. The area is quite large for sniffing and running. Our dog enjoyed exploring, that's for sure! He ignored us though. That's okay, it was his time to do what he wanted.Laurie P.

55This was a great visit - I brought my small dachshund and medium sized mix for some free time. The neighborhood is very lovely and quiet, the yard was easy to access, and has complete privacy. Although we were there at the hottest part of the day, the yard was mostly shaded and very comfortable. Dogs enjoyed sniffing around, running and relaxing on the grass. Donna C.

FAQ about our Wilmington 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.
