55This is an awesome spot! I made a last minute decision to make the reservation on a Saturday afternoon, and it was confirmed immediately. The pond is the main reason that I wanted to visit, and give my dog an opportunity to swim. I’ve researched a few other places on the app, and this one was by far the best fit. The water was nice and clean, and the surrounding areas were very well maintained. I even noticed that there were towels available, as well as fetch toys. The experience exceeded my expectations, and was worth the 50 minute drive to get there! Loren K.

55Great area for humans and dogs alike to enjoy! Water was clean, the grass around the pond was short enough to walk around, and there were seats for breaks. They also kindly left out some doggy cleanup bags and towels. Very serene!Ryan B.

55This sniff spot was incredible! I had been looking for the perfect swimming hole to cement my golden's love of water and this was the perfect setup of a easy transition into the water from the shoreline, clear and calm water, and plenty of green space to run around nearby. We had a great time and are sad that we found this so close to the end of the summerkelly d.

55This location is what Sniffspot dreams are made of. It is far enough away from the road to feel safe letting dogs off leash, and while there is no fence, there are visual barriers with the edge of fields. The hosts welcomed us as if we were friends, and provided everything they could to make us comfortable. We and our dogs had an amazing time! Rose A.

55The sniffspot is in a secluded area with a beautiful pond and porch area. Has a dock that is about a 8ft+ drop to the water so not ideal for dock diving but still a very fun place to take the pups for a swim! Kathryn T.

FAQ About Riga 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. 10% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Riga 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 234 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 438 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.
