55This is an idyllic yard with views of a placid horse in a nearby paddock and the sound of the owner's goats. Different areas to explore in a grassy yard with a bit of woods on the edges. Easy to park. Poop bags and trash were easy to find. Great spot!Maria B.

55What a great backyard for a dog to explore! Our rescue had never been off-leash with us and loved it here. Plenty of room and lots of variety to explore with bushes, trees and lawn surrounded by secure 4 foot fencing. Highly recommended.David S.

55Lovely spot with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff. My girls had a great time playing and exploring and we will likely be back.
There is some traffic noise from the highway and a small dog may be able to get out of the fencing by going under the three season room. Catherine S.

55We had a blast visiting Erica’s farm! It’s fully fenced in, and Erica is so thoughtful and leaves out fresh water for the pups and a trash bin with poop bags. It was our second time visiting, and is quickly becoming one of my pup’s favorite places to visit. We all enjoyed seeing the sheep and horses too. Chelsea H.

552nd trip here - excellent!! They left a fresh water bowl out, along with waste bags, shovel and trash can - very convenient! The yard is fantastic! You can see horses and sheep (fun for the people and the dogs). They also have a nice porch you're allowed to use - came in handy yesterday as it was cooler than expected. I love coming here and I'm so thankful they offer a membership - great yard!!!!!!Sara M.

FAQ About Harvard 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. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Harvard 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 376 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 653 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.
