55Great find! 10 minutes from my house, completely fenced in and clean. Luckily there was a hose (my dog drank about 5 bowls of water)! Great way to get some training in. We’ll be back soon. Karen O.

Nicole's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Gardner | Sniffspot
55Fencing was high enough to not see over, plenty of space to run around and play with level ground. Leanna was quick to respond to messages, and even checked with us about how our pup would do if they were walking past the fence. Will definitely go back!Stephanie M.

55Ralphie and Brady had so much fun. They loved exploring the woods. The yard is so spacious . I didn’t hear any dogs barking the whole time we were there . It was really quiet and peaceful . The yard was fully fenced. I didn’t see any dog poop the yard is well kept. Nicole is really nice and let us in early too. Highly recommend. Kaitlyn W.

55We love this spot!!! So much space to run and so many things to sniff, especially with the wooded area. The pups had a great time!
FYI Part of the fence lines the road, so just be aware that dogs can see neighbors and cars go by. Jess C.

55This spot was great for my dogs! They had so much fun running and smelling. The fenced in yard was perfect far enough off the street and great space. There was another dog visible at one point through the fence on the road, but pretty far awayamber s.

55Fantastic spot. First time user and met up with a friend, also first time user. Great fenced in area with a mix of shade and sun, open space to run and play and shade to relax and sniff. I have a perimeter fence and friend ties out her dog - so we had the dilemma of where to play where they could meet and interact free of other dog distractions. Thank you, Nicole, for providing a safe and relaxing place for pups to play!! Kari P.

55My Greyhound had a great time exploring and zooming! There was plenty of room, it was secure, and for the most part it was clean. Someone before left a poop that we stepped in, but other than that, it was great!Heidi d.

55Excellent yard - safe and worry free - absolutely LOVE the 6ft. fence all around!!! Great mix of sun and shade. Great mix of flat, level grass for running and playing and woods for exploring. Our dog LOVES it! You should hear her start whining when we turn onto the street!
Nicole is very professional, communicative & accommodating! I highly recommend it! You can see why it's a Top Spot!!!

FAQ about our Gardner 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.
