55This place is amazing, and the host is even more so. It was a great experience overall. Our dog loved the place and enjoyed the creek. The host was extremely nice, and I highly recommend getting the extra sourdough bread; it was delicious. We will definitely come back for sure.Deniz B.

55This property is truly amazing. The property itself is gorgeous, and very clean. There are so many activities for the dogs: various fields for fetch, a nice creek for swimming. We can’t wait to return! Marnie is a lovely host. She left some treats for the dogs, and some water bottles for the humans.

55I reserved this spot for a picnic with my Dad for Father’s Day and it was perfect. They have a creek that runs all through the property and many many shaded trails. We found a shaded spot by the creek and sat on a log for a while before we ate our lunch at the picnic table. We got to walk and catch up with talking while our girl ran around, swam, and sniffed like crazy! Thank you all for the treats and beautiful Sniffspot! We will be back with our friends who have a cocker spaniel. Angel P.

55We had the best time playing here. So much land for our dogs to run around. Their favorite parts were the creeks. We will definitely be back!! Rachel B.

55This is my first time ever using a sniff spot and we had a blast! As somebody with a reactive dog (who is working on recall and training) this was such a nice break. She got to explore the property and got to have zoomies and even played in the water and grabbed a drink. I felt completely safe with the gate to let her run around. I will highly recommend and will definitely come back.! Rachel S.

55Great location in a private setting, our pets had the best time ever! Once we closed the gate and took their leashes off, they played and frolicked with pure joy! They loved the trail thru the woods. It is the perfect place for furbabies. I highly recommend!!Amber C.

55We loved this Sniffspot! This place has it all- open fields, wooded areas, trails, and a creek for swimming. Our golden retriever couldn’t get enough of the creek and rolling in the grass. Our springer spaniel is deaf and we don’t feel comfortable letting her off leash in most places. She was living her best life here running through the woods and chasing the ball through the field. We will definitely be back! Instructions to get in were very clear and easy. There are two gates- a large gate to get into the driveway (with fencing around the driveway/parking area) and a second gate to get into the dog park. This made it feel very safe Autumn M.

FAQ about our Gainesville 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.
