55Our dog and also our kids had so much fun here. The spot was super clean with obstacle and agility equipments, plenty of toys and fresh water. I only wish it was closer to where we live so we can visit more. Highly recommend this spot !Navin K.

55This was a wonderful experience for us. We don't visit public dog parks. The fenced in land was beautiful with large trees to provide shade, and it has chairs, picnic table, and an obstacle area for dogs. Communication was top notch. We will be back..Susan B.

55Beautiful property! I was actually blown away when we pulled up because it looked like an actual dog park. The grass was nice and short, and there were lots of toys and agility equipment. This was out first SniffSpot experience and it was 10/10. I'm so thankful that I could bring my reactive dog someplace new and let him run as much as he wants - even though he was worn out in twenty minutes lolAmanda S.

55Really nice quiet setting. Clean and very well managed. My two pitties had a great time exploring. We don't go to traditional dog parks, so this off leash opportunity was very much enjoyed by all of us. Will be back. Sharon L.

55This was the most magical experience for me, my boyfriend, and my dogs. They enjoyed running across the green plush field while exploring the completely fenced in acreage. I am unable to take my small dogs to the dog park, as I fear their safety. This was the perfect experience to let them off the leash, so they could run and play while I felt anxiety free. You can see the host pours their heart and soul into making a memorable experience for animals. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!Vicky L.

FAQ about our Silver Springs 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.
