Beautiful spot on the river with a nice long yard to run in and plenty of areas to sniff! Hosts provided fresh water & ice for the dog, a nice shady area to sit, and were very pleasant.

This was our first time using SniffSpot and I am SO glad we chose this location. The host popped her head out to advise she had left cold water, a bowl, and ice for my dog and offered us a cold soda. The yard was clean and great for throwing a ball around. There was sun and shade, a place to sit, and the host was extremely hospitable while leaving us to play. This was my dog’s first time off leash and she raced up and down playing ball and wagging her tail. We will absolutely be back. Thank you!

Kelly was a wonderful host. Treats, toys, water with ice for my pup, and even a cooler with some soda and water for me! The yard was beautiful with a great view. I’d recommend this spot for anyone looking for a space for their pup to unwind, relax, and play!

Beautiful fenced in property! The dogs had a blast and Kelly was so kind to give the dogs ice cold water and drinks. Thanks for hosting us!

The spot was sunny and the view was beautiful. Plenty of grass for our fur babies to run around. Kelly thinks of everything from dog bowls full of ice water for the dogs to bottles of water for us to poop bags, balls and treats for the dogs. Plus the little shed was a perfect shade spot for the dogs. 1 hour was more than enough for our 2 dogs

This spot was great! The view of the river was enjoyable for me and my dog loved playing fetch in the yard. The host left treats, toys and cold water in the backyard for our dog. Parking was a breeze with a reserved spot. The fence went all the way around and looked secure

Great little yard! Caterina was kind enough to leave us a bowl of water and ball to play with. This would be a lovely spot to enjoy some ice cream from Elena’s or a treat from Atticus Market while your four-legged family member can stretch their legs! We will be back to enjoy this spot again!

FAQ about our New Haven 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.
