55Entering was super simple, loved that there was a clear parking space. And the yard was as clean as expected; Winnie had a great time! Was mildly concerned about the gate/if my girl could engage in a fence feud if a dog came by - but none did! Destiny S.

55Paw by Paw’s sniff spot is in a central, very convenient location. It is a great outdoor space with two sets of gates for security. The fence is high and private and the turf is soft and not too hot. Our dogs lived the kitty pool.Amy F.

FAQ About Kensington Dog Parks
