55Nice large yard, easy to access, securely fenced, quiet neighborhood. Lots of interesting areas (ground cover, sheds, rock walls, fire pit, etc) for my dog who loves to critter. My girl had a spinal injury last Fall that left her rear end a bit weak when she’s moving fast so I did have to leash her when she was near a drop off at the left front (when facing house) to keep her from inadvertently falling down it. I don’t know that this would be a problem for most dogs. Worth the trip.Kathleen B.

55Our girls had an absolutely fabulous time at Rachel’s place this morning. Running free in an open freshly cut lawn was totally what we were looking for.
Everything was spotless and very safe. Frisbee we played frisbee and catch.
We will be back❣️😊Valerie C.

55Great time! We didn’t stay the full time because Zoe got tired out quick but it was still so worth it, plenty of room for her to explore, run around, and even rest in the shade when she got tired. It was her 6th birthday and she definitely enjoyed it. Thank you again! Jess L.

55This yard was perfect for my lazy dogs who like to sniff around and chomp grass. More than enough room, lots of shady spots and a nice area to hang out while the dogs sniffed around. They couldn’t have been happier and now they’ll sleep for a month.Meghan O.

55My dog absolutely loved it here! The owner met us outside before going in, she was very welcoming. Plenty of room in the yard as well as shade, there’s also some woods in the back with easy paths to walk on. Will be coming back!Connor V.

55Great spot! As described, very private and quiet. Please note the gaps under some areas of the fence could allow a small dog out (but surely not a large or medium one). Francesca C.

55Easy beautiful drive to get to. A great space to allow the dog stretch out for a full sprint! Fence is solid and totally adequate to contain our 45# dog . Agreed a small dog or maybe very persistent medium dog could work to get through. We’d love to come back and so glad to have another space to bring our reactive dog to allow some off leash time!Cheryl C.

55Great spot!! Just what we like- offstreet parking, private access to the yard. Short walk from car to yard, lots and lots of space. Open space for my frisbee lover to play and wooded areas for my explorer to sniff! Love this place!Cynthia B.

55The yard was amazing! So much space and beautiful. There was a pool all filled up that my Labrador loved. We played ball the whole time. They checked out everything and there was a bin of toys and chewys to check out. We had a big group and there was something for everyone. I definitely recommend. Lots of shade too and very quiet.

FAQ About Norfolk 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Norfolk 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 412 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 710 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.
Can I rent a field for my dog to run near Norfolk?
