55Absolute perfect playground for dogs. They can run, have brain stimulation with all the rock walls and some wooded paths, and a perfect sniff safari. My big 114lb fur kids had a much needed desire to play and run off leash, especially after long travels and this was the perfect resolve. My top sniff spot! Thank you for sharing your yard.

55We enjoyed our visit. The spot was as described. We needed to stretch our legs after a long car ride & this spot fit our needs. It was very relaxing to walk on the short paths in the woods. The stone wall had lots of nooks & crannies to smell for critters. There were fun little spaces in the woods with chairs, etc, & pretty flowers for the humans to look at. Thanks for sharing your space!Deb S.

55This is a great space, so many fun little areas and short trails to explore! Tilly had so much fun running through the woods and investigating all of the stone walls. Great spot to work on off leash recall as well, plenty of opportunities for your pup to wonder out of you line of sight while safe, secure and within ear shot. Abram H.

FAQ About Colchester 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. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Colchester 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 253 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
