55Lady had a great time running around! Yard was clean and large. My husband had to tie the front gate shut with his sweatshirt because it blew open and we need fully fenced for our girl but the owners mentioned they will be replacing the motor on the gate so that it will remained closed. Just something to keep an eye on so your dog stays safe! We appreciated the dog and human treats and the chairs/water bowls! Mallory D.

55A great *huge* yard. The gate is around the full property and not just in the back yard. I did get an update that they have gotten something to hold the fence closed up front so the entire area can be fenced in. The backyard area has some wooded areas for the pups to explore in addition to a ton of open space to play fetch. A lovely yard with a great deal of land for the pups. Kaitlyn H.

55We had an incredible time! The host was so sweet to leave out water dishes, human & pup treats, and extra poop bags. The yard was just immaculate. Neatly manicured, clear of any debris underfoot, and completely securely fenced. We saw and heard no other dogs or people. The back of the property is beautifully wooded for sniffing! Host had clear directions on how to enter and secure the front gate, and the property was breathtaking. I found myself running barefoot with the pups the whole time! We will definitely be booking again.Katie B.

55This property was amazing! Bowie spent half the time sprinting around the huge yard and the other half enjoying all of the smells by the wooded areas. The property was clean and well managed. We will definitely be coming back!Jamie L.

55Really gorgeous yard, tons of space. My dog loved it. There are people coming and going out the front which is accessible to dogs in the space. No one was close enough for my dog to care or investigate, but definitely keep your dog to the backyard behind the house and keep an eye on them if they are reactive.YANELLE G.

55The yard was exactly as described. The fence was secure and I felt safe with my dog visiting! The host left treats for both humans and dogs. The closure on the gate is perfect if you pull it tight. It was so nice to let my dog run freely in such a large area! Cassandra S.

55Amazing backyard with lots of space! Definitely quiet like the listing says! The fence was a great height to keep our dog focused in the yard. There are other dogs in the Neighborhood that you could hear, but we did not see ANY dogs from the yard!
Under the porch was not blocked off, so just be aware if your dog likes to explore. This was absolutely not an issue for us, but a good thing to be aware of if your dog is more adventurous :)
We really loved that you were able to park right in front of the house! We will definitely be frequent users of this spot! 11/10 would recommend! Lindsay C.

55Our dog had a great time! We would consider trying to bring a second dog next time because there’s plenty of room to run and play. I did find a couple of rogue droppings, but that’s to be expected.Christopher M.

55What a great yard! The lock on the fence is a little tricky, but I figured it out. My pup loves balls and there were balls galore. He ran zoomies, jumped and played and had the best time. Thank you for allowing us to play in your yard. We’ll be back. ☺️Lissa P.

55Yard was the perfect size for my dogs to run, sniff, and play and still be in my sight. My shepard mix ran and played with the toys provided, while my basset mix sniffed, checked the fence, and chewed grass. Quiet neighborhood and easily accessed location. We will be back! Stacey W.

55Easy parking and access, lot of tennis balls already there! It was very shaded in the morning, which was great in this heat. They also provided bug spray which we didn't see until toward the end, so look for it when you get there! All in all, a great space!!Julia B.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and will definitely use again. Ava’s backyard is secure and spacious enough for our two pups! There are plenty of balls to play with. There was easy communication with the owner which is a plus! YeYe T.

FAQ about our Clifton 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Clifton area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 309 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 50 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
