55This gem has everything you need! Towels, fresh water, humans and dog snacks, cover (we came in the rain), and more! Our puppy is only 7lbs so we’re always concerned about gaps in fencing. The fence here was great! There were a few low spots that my anxious brain made me notice but we just loved some plant pots & bricks to make sure she couldn’t escape. Isabel K.

55Tonight we celebrated Rascal's 3rd birthday a little early, specifically so he could have his party at the Secret Oasis!! As always, our fabulous host set up the most amazing party for him. He and his sister absolutely loved the homemade birthday cake, carrot muffins, and treats! He played with the tennis balls and even sported his birthday boy hat. We are moving out of state, and will be so sad to not have The Secret Oasis nearby. Kammy K.

55Monja's spot was a pup's dream! So many areas to smell and a man made stream to cool off in. She really thought of everything from extra toys and towels to an area for the humans with drinks and snacks. If it's your first time, she shows you around so you know where everything is which was very helpful! The yard was very clean and spacious. We'll definitely be back!Angela C.

55Secret Oasis is the perfect name for this SniffSpot! I can’t recommend this one highly enough! Lots of trees and shady areas for humans and dogs to enjoy. The stream flowing over river rocks adds a sound element that is so peaceful! The play area was easy to find and it was the perfect retreat from the city.
It is a certified Wildlife Habitat and my beagle thoroughly enjoyed the natural scents he was able to track. It’s immediately evident how much thought and care were put into the planning of the area. It’s a haven for dogs, but there are also thoughtfully-placed areas for their humans to sit and enjoy some peace and relaxation.
My dog had plenty of toys to chose from and there were clean water bowls for guest use.
An unexpected perk is that there is a refrigerator in the covered lounge area, with a variety of beverages and snacks (human and dog treats) to choose from, with a jar to pay with cash, or QR code to pay via Venmo. Perfectly reasonable prices for the convenience! Even though I had plenty of ice water in my car, I couldn’t resist enjoying a cold iced tea on a quiet bench, with the stream bubbling in the background.
The yard is large and well fenced in and was a very safe environment for my dog to enjoy the off-leash life. Highly recommended!Michele A.

FAQ about our Lorton 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lorton 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 454 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 53 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.
