55This was a great space! Mostly flat, large yard with great patio spaces. Karrie provided bug spray, cold waters, poop bags, and some toys! There was a bigger dog on the other side of the fence, but he was super friendly. We’ll definitely be back!Rachel M.

55This space is awesome! We were greeted at the gate with a basket that contained a nice note from the owners, balls, treats, bottles of water and poop bags. The yard is beautiful and perfectly laid out with a large open field as well as lots of shade so it’s the best of both worlds. The two lovely patios have large and comfortable seating. There is a super sweet big dog in the yard Nextdoor named Duke. We loved him!
We highly recommend this place and will be back soon! Kendall P.

FAQ about our Richmond 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.
