55This place is the lovelivest and I had a great time with my dog there. This place is so close to the city and perfect for dogs like mine that need to run and explore and play but are still working to build confidence with other dogs. My only regret is not visiting sooner. Laura G.

55Huge property for our pup to run around and explore! Host is very nice and has great communication. Seeing the cows from afar was a big plus (by the entrance, not located near the actual area). FYI, the host sells their own liver treats and our pup absolutely loves them.
Thanks again, we hope to visit soon! Kelly I.

55Morty had SO much fun running around in the mud! The host was so helpful and responsive, Mortys reactive with dogs so she was super helpful making sure her pups were inside while we were there. Can’t wait to go back!Sarah H.

55We had a great time, the spot is very organized with signs posted to guide you. The dogs and livestock were far enough away from the trail that they were not sn issue. Will definitely return.Valeria M.

55Beautiful trail and vast open spaces for the dogs to play! A bit muddy but not nearly as bad as I thought for this time of year. Cooper was thrilled with the stick library. Will be returning!Brittany D.

55We had such an amazing time here! Our 3 dogs are all super active, energetic dogs, and they were exhausted! There is so much space to run in 4 different big areas, so they never got bored. It's very quiet, and it feels like we were the only ones for miles. We had our dogs on long leashes, but let them go (just in case so we could step on the leash if need be). There were areas where the grass was very tall, but they pranced through it anyways. I would 100% recommend it to anyone! 2 of our dogs can be anxious, but they were comfortable the entire time. It was great to see them let loose and just enjoy running in such a beautiful spaceAlison R.

55Enjoyed a walk around the fields with my Malinois mix and his Aussie-Golden bff. Lots of sniffs, runs, dips in the pond and creek, ... All with a lot of freedom!
Highly recommend this spot. There's even a box with poop bags and bug spray and garbages by the parking spot and at the end of the main path! Emilie V.

55AN OASIS FOR ALL DOGS!!!
I brought my 12 year old little best friend Armani to Bridget’s property and not only had an amazing time, but I was able to make some really great memories with him.
My dog absolutely LOVED running free and sniffing around the property, enjoying his treats while laying in the grass, the smile of his face was priceless. The hour flew by, next time I would book even longer! Letting him run outside freely was something i’ve never been able to comfortably do without worry anywhere else as we have no yard at home.
When he came home he was pooped, he slept like a rock 🤣 I can’t wait to bring more dogs here including my own again so that they can immerse themselves in nature. There’s nothing more mentally enriching for dogs than this.
AND pro tip, be sure to grab some eggs that the host offers, they also have amazing dog treats too which I will absolutely stock up on next visit. I was able to purchase some duck eggs which were fantastic and very fresh, will even to add some to my dogs meals for him to try :) Tara V.

55Second visit and we discovered new paths for our Mal mix and Chi-Terrier to run in, dip in the creeks, and even venture in the woods!
We also took advantage of the opportunity and got a dozen farm fresh eggs! I look forward to breakfast tomorrow!! Emilie V.

55What a beautiful private dog park! The lush green trees, the open fields, the ponds, it was a doggie haven. Bridget also helped me out by providing bug spray which came in handy this time of year. It was a pleasure to visit and we will definitely be back! Eleni L.

55Very quiet and peaceful setting. Open mowed areas are great for training. The paths were clear and mowed also, there is so much space to wander and exercise. Our pup loved it and so did his human. Grizz P.

55We hadn't been here since the spring, and really enjoyed the improvements with extra walking paths. My swimming dog jumped in the pond but we couldn't stay long because I forgot to bring strong mosquito repellant. Will come again!Julia R.

FAQ about our Ottawa dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed.

We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
