55We took my pup here for some enrichment and a quick training session. It was so peaceful out here and I loved walking around the pond. Definitely not a good spot if your dog has poor recall, but worked great for what I was looking for. So many frogs in the pond!! It was a muddy but I dont mind letting my boy get a little dirty, Abe had great directions and the neighbors were even nice enough to help when we needed more instructions. It is not fenced on the side towards the road but the pond and everything is far enough away, it didn't matter. Isabella M.

55We love the pond here . Because Cleo is learning to swim , it’s a good place versus a pool with steps . And there are plenty of sticks to use for motivation. Sally W.

55Took all 3 of our dogs to give them a new place to run around. Plenty of shade on a hot day. They all loved going in and out of the pond. The property is not enclosed but it is large enough to be safely away from the road. This is a great place for a dog Jon R.

55We had a great time! From Sacramento it’s a 40 minute drive so we reserved 2 hours. The spot is right off the freeway and there’s a gas station down the street if the humans need a potty break or food. There’s no signage so we just followed the GPS and figured we were in the right place once we drove up the little road and saw the pond. It is a good size pond, my pup had a great time wading in the water and grabbing stuff from it. There’s plenty of space to throw a ball if your dog is into that (not mine). There’s lots of shaded areas and chairs are provided. We walked a bit around and explored as well. Just be prepared and bring towels, dogs are guaranteed to get filthy (but you know they had a blast when they’re super dirty and tired!). Make sure to bring water, it did get a little hot in the sun. Also come with good shoes as the ground is uneven and lots of grass, dirt and pokey plants depending on which area of the property you’re on. There is fence dividing the area from the neighbors except for the area by the road but it is not a busy road and we were far enough it was not an issue. the Thanks to the host for allowing us to enjoy this beautiful spot and bring our dog so much joy!

55This place was perfect for the two energetic Dobermans and the pond was fascinating, there was moss in the water which was fine and not algae . There were areas of shade too which was perfect for water breaks and snacks for the humans as we were there for two hours . The host also sent instructions so it was easy to find the entrance . We will be back again Sally W.

55What a really fun visit we had! Wide open, bare bones and safe place to spend time with the family. All of our kids got in the pond - two of them fetching far thrown sticks and one wading at his own pace. Sat on the lounge chairs in the shade while resting and watched the birds and had some snacks - then a walk around and back to fetch and swimming. There’s even a little boat 🛶 Easy to find, close to 80, good communication by Abe, and Kuma, our birthday boy, even discovered bullfrogs. Successful day out with the pack - a tail wagging time all around !! 🐾🐾🐾Robert R.

FAQ About Newcastle 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.
