552nd time @ the Shire and was welcomed with open arms. I love the SHIRE it’s not only accommodating for the doggies but I was able to decompress in the shade w/ cool drink in my hand while these lil guys ran around. It’s a perfect way to end a long day.
The vibes here are positively authentic. If you haven’t checked the SHIRE out then put it on your list as a must do !!!
Keep up the good work Mark & Amanda !!! P B.

55My dog Fritz had the best time. Fetch is his favorite thing to do but he was so excited to be in such a beautiful large, fenced-in spot that he couldn't even concentrate on fetch. He was like a kid in a candy store, wagging his tail, exploring every inch of your yard. We did eventually get to play some fetch. Perfect spot for it. There was plenty of water, places for humans to sit and relax, and extra toys and balls for the pups. We will definitely be back! Thanks for making Fritzy a happy dog!Eggplant P.

55This was a wonderful, large flat space that was perfect for a long game of fetch for our girl! There was some noise from across the way from the neighbors and their dog but it didn’t ruffle our reactive girl at all (which is huge progress for her!) so it was a nice opportunity for us to test her with plenty of space. The host also had a sweet personal welcome message for us at the entrance which was such a nice touch. Veronique M.

55Amanda and Mark were very welcoming to Samson and I, on our arrival. The space was clean and ready for us to spend some time there. Samson got his fill and overload of smells and new experiences, as it was his first time off leash in a new space. Tammus D.

FAQ about our Winston small dog parks

We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types.
