Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Herndon, VA

Our pups had a blast! The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The yard was fun, safe, and had lots of interest for all our pups with plenty of room for our Springer to let loose retrieving his tennis balls and interesting sniffs, trees, and shrubbery for the little ones. The yard is the perfect mixture of shade and sun. The host had the right mix of amenities with toys, bottled water, and bowls for the pups and plenty of seating for pet parents under a tree canopy. What stood out the most was the clean, neatly folded towel included underneath the clean, neatly arranged toys... reminded me of 5-star hotel amenities... a very different and thoughtful touch, especially when you have a pup that drools like our Springer or play in the water.Our experience was peaceful and fun for all. Our pups were definitely exhausted when we left. I saw the neighbor pup in its yard, but he/she was quiet as a mouse. None of our four pups ever realized the dog was out or nearby. So ours were not great playmates for that pup. Winston's has already become a favorite Sniffspot for our family, and we look forward to many more play dates. We appreciate Winston sharing his outdoor space with others!

Another great visit. We added 2 of my grand-doggos this time to make a total of 4. All had a great time and were tired out in 20 minutes.

Great spot. My girls loved it. They were tired out in 30 minutes so we left early. Great time

Great yard with plenty of room for running & playing! The owners had two chairs set out in the shade with two small fresh bowls of water, balls, towel & waste bags ready. It was a warm morning, we will bring extra water next time. Looking forward to returning to this lovely space!

This was my first Sniffspot ever, so I don't have any comparison, but it certainly set the bar fairly high. The space was large and well maintained and the host provided water bowls, some toys, and a towel for the dogs, since it was a soggy summer week when we visited. Plenty of areas to sniff and a good amount of shade. Really happy to have this spot nearby!

Great spot! Perfect size yard, big enough for our 2 large dogs to romp in without losing sight of them. Great that half the yard is shaded offering relief on a hot summer morning. We will be back!

Great spot My dog had a great time. Plenty of room to run as well as trees and things to sniff

Winston’s place was great and just as described! Our doggos loved that water was available for them and toys were provided. We will definitely be back!

Scout & Gretal loved coming to this spot! There was enough room to run around and play fetch - but also the wooded area provided a great place for sniffs.

Plenty of space for a 10 month old beagle and a 15 year old beagle. They loved it! Plenty of toys, water, and a place for the human to sit.

Kitty & I had a great time here. There is lots of shade available from the tree and the covered patio and plenty of space to run and lots of smells to sniff. Do not forget to bring water & a bowl for your dogs and something for you to sit on. There are lots of gnats so you’ll need bug spray.

This Sniffspot was great! Lots of room to run for the three pups I had for the day. I brought my own bowl and jug of water. There’s shade if you need it and a trash bin to dispose of poop.

Churchill had a great time sniffing to his heart’s content and playing. Having chairs I could sit in and still throw his toys and a working hose to fill his water bowl, he’s a water snob and will only drink out of his one bowl, we’re plus’. When I read the directions incorrectly as to which gate to enter the owner replied immediately. The location is close to me and I’m sure we will return.

Great spot! Clean, spacious yard, fully fenced with no holes or gaps with extra mesh fencing to ensure your pup stays in the yard. There's a nice patio w/ chairs to sit on, toys for the dogs, and a hose to fill up a big water bowl. The backyard does back up to a busy street so there's some outside noise, but that wasn't a concern for us.

What a beautiful spot! Very large, secure and clean space, perfect for our two shepherds to explore as well as play and run around. We appreciated bowls of water, toys, seating and available trash can thoughtfully provided by our hosts. Communication was excellent, we had no problem finding the location and access to the yard was very convenient. We enjoyed our visit very much, everyone had fun, and we hope to visit again! Thank you!

Great space for two dogs. Owner was responsive as we wanted some water for the pups and we weren’t sure if the house was still winterized. We’ll definitely revisit.

It was my first dog run with my puppy, Dobby! It’s a large area for dogs to run around. There were some deer visiting the neighbor when we were there, but it was big enough to stay away from them. Dobby was so happy to run around and had a great time!

The yard was easy to access via a gate close to the driveway. The pups loved exploring and running around the spacious yard. We were there the morning after a night of rain and were pleasantly surprised by the towels left on the chairs, along with a few other dog items.

As first-timers, me and my two dogs had a great time. Good communication from the host, clear instructions for how to get in and out, well maintained and clean space. We will be returning for sure!

Excellent, comfortable spot with tons of personal touches! Easy to be respectful of such a cozy and welcoming spot!
