Second time here and dogs had fun! Last time 4 dogs and owners walked by on road but this time none.

Great spot!! Big flat area for running. Lots of toys, water, poop bags and recepticle. Lovely places for humans to sit in the shade. Will definitely be back! :)

What a wonderful spot. Plenty of toys and room to run. Some agility equipment as well! The kiddie pool was a hit and definitely cooled them off. This spot is clean, well maintained, secure, and the host provides a nice picnic table with an overhead gazebo for the humans to hang out! My dogs had a blast!

Another lovely day- my pup and I had a fun time playing in the space which is very clean and peaceful. I love coming here and so does my dog

We had a great experience at the park! My shy pup was able to explore without worry of other dogs or people. We’ll be back soon!

Awesome spot! My pup enjoyed having lots of space to sniff and romp without the company of other dogs!

Our pup is 6 months and full of energy. We needed a place to let her run free of a lease. This spot is perfect. It is just big enough for her to run and us be able to see her where ever she went. There is a great place to sit for humans in the shade. Although she was busy with all the new smells she did manage to play catch also. There some great toys to keep both dog and human entertained. We definitely would recommend this place it is close to us (10 minutes away) and private so dogs and their humans can enjoy time together.

We had a fantastic time visiting this spot and having a fun training session with friends!! The space was huuuge, clean, and the host was more than accommodating with our more difficult dogs and their needs. We cannot wait to come back!!

Beautiful space and easy to get to! My dogs loved being able to run around and play with the hose and toys :). The scenic drive over is also a plus!

Luke’s place is genuinely the best. My pup and I are regulars there, despite living a good 25 minutes away- it’s so worth it. Enjoyable for humans and dogs alike, easy to access, and a beautiful drive into the Islands. It’s my dog and I’s favorite thing to do together, I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs their dog to run around with no other pups in sight. Thank you Luke!

We haven't been all summer, what fun to see more amenities! Doggo really only cares about Chuck-it LOL but the new shade pavilion for us hoomans was nice.

Casey G.

October 2024

So much was provided! There were plenty of toys, water bowls, kiddie pool, hose available, picnic table under shade, agility course, and the view was beautiful! The fence was appropriately secured and I felt confident that my pup would not escape. Could not recommend this place enough.

Stephanie L.

Luke’s place is top notch. We will definitely be coming back! My pups loved running around the ample, well-maintained space, and checking out the obstacle course. It was quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place to enjoy a nice afternoon.

This is a wonderful private dog park. It's large, clean, and has good amenities. There are lawn chairs and a covered picnic table to relax out of the sun. Water is available if you need it for your dog. Both dogs had a great time and came away exhausted from exercise. We'll be back soon.

Very grateful for this space as our dog, Pebbles had a successful and safe intro to a new dog friend with the guidance of our amazing dog behaviorist! Thanks for being a host Luke!

Catie S.

October 2024

My friends and I rented this spot to do parallel training with our dogs, it was amazing! Tons of space to spread out and post up to do our drills, use the agility equipment, and then let the dogs have solo time to romp. The lawn chairs and picnic table for belongings and humans to hang out was another awesome element. Parking is right by the entrance gate for easy transport in and out, and everything was super clean. Will definitely be back and recommending the spot to other friends!

Laurie L.

I love this spot! I've used it a few times with a wonderful client of mine and her reactive dog- she introduced me to it. The fence is secure and there are toys and water available. Today I rented the yard to introduce my dog to a new dog we adopted in a neutral space. The size and security of the yard made it perfect. I definitely recommend this sniff spot for anyone who has a dog they can't let off leash and would love to give them freedom or for playdates. It's awesome to have something like this here in the islands!

Such a great time!! So clean, secure, and quiet! My dogs LOVED the space, and I loved how much they ran around and enjoyed themselves. Next time I am in the area we will absolutely be back.

Great spot! Plenty of room for our three big dogs. Felt safe with the good fencing and gate, and the toys were a lovely addition 🎾☀️ We’ll definitely be back!
