55The location was easy to find. I wasn't sure where to park exactly but nobody seemed bothered by where I parked. There is so much space in the field to roam, play, and sniff. I had read the reviews before going so I knew there would be some sheep pellets and luckily my dog wasn't that interested in them but if your dog is a Hoover take that into consideration. Found a tick on the way out so definitely do a check before you leave. Excellent spot to wear your pup out!Holly C.

FAQ about our Halifax 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.
