55My girls had such a blast! Nala, our Amstaff, really made the most of the space and burned off plenty of energy, while Nova, our American XL Bully, absolutely loved running alongside her sister. She tires a little quicker, so she enjoyed a slower stroll and some breaks to catch her breath, but both of them had the best time. The space itself is amazing, and the drive out here was worth it—it’s only about half an hour for us. We’ll definitely be back for more runs. Huge thanks to Lulu & TukTuk for recommending this sniff spot!

55Awesome private spot. My dog had a great time and really enjoyed learning to jump on the obstacles and having a good leash free run. Will definitely be coming back again Monique H.

55Best sniffspot we've been to, no poop on the floor, fresh water available and great parking inside the spot rather than outside. Our girl had so much fun climbing all the obstacles.Guan O.

55First time for all of us. But it was so cool to see them both run with no distractions, and big bonus for me and my daughter, we didn’t have to chase after them.
Thank you Charmaine M.

55Great to see the gate has been replaced since our last visit in March. Super secure spot for our dogs to run around and enjoy off lead. We love being able to drive in, shut the gate and then let our dogs loose to enjoy the area!Elena T.

55Great spot with lots of toys and obstacles (even though my dogs mostly ignored them lol). Host was very helpful when I was spatially challenged with the gate (it's a pool gate on wheels - don't worry, this is very obvious haha)Kirsty D.

55The fencing is great, very secure. The only place they could possibly get out is over/under the entrance gate. There are lots of fun obstacles for the dogs to climb over. My 3 dogs had an absolute ball. Will definitely be back!Melissa G.

55Great spot, with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and some great toys/agility things for dogs to play with. Couple of dogs at the house across the driveway but weren’t a distraction and my reactive dog had no issues.
Looking forward to visiting again! Blair B.

55Great value for money! My two dogs loved the freedom and were tired after 30 minutes of being there. Small gap under the gate that I just lay a cone out in front of it. Great day would recommend ☺️Natalie F.

FAQ About Helensville 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. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Helensville 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 50 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 61 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.
