55Kelly was very easy to communicate with as my dog and I were new to this website. My reactive pup had a wonderful time and enjoyed sniffing around and playing ball! The yard was easy to access, and offered immense peace of mind! We are currently in a small apartment with no yard so this was an enjoyable experience for both me and my dog! Thanks Kelly! Megan S.

55Great communication and a well maintained area. This puppy was so happy it seemed she arrived to puppy heaven! I wanted to add a few notes for guardians of reactive dogs: The house is by a road with some traffic, but said traffic is not visible from the yard. Just be prepared to maneuver in and out accordingly. For doggos with sound sensitivities: There were audible sirens and a barking dog (at a distance), for a few minutes of our visit. The home is in a more urban area, so this is all expected. Our pup had an amazing time and we will be booking back very soon! Thank you again!Lina E.

55the fence was super secure which was great because one of them has a tendency of finding ways to escape. the only issue i had was my other dog found a bunch of little green nut looking things from the trees and tried to eat them, not sure what they were. but overall we dogs loved it! IRENE L.

55We will be back! Your yard is perfect. My boys are such good boys - but my Swifty Capone cannot take the overstimulation of public dog parks. He get nervous but your yard is perfect. They ran around, rolled around, found a toy, left the toy and even barked at whatever they heard. Really great. We will be back! Thank you again!Lauren H.

55We had an absolute BLAST!!
I’m fostering a new dog with an abuse history so this was the perfect quiet place for him to decompress and have fun.
We booked for two hours but he was worn out in the first five mins!
It was so wonderful to see him so happy!!
Kelly’s place is clean, easy to find and a perfect doggy get away! We will be back! Pilar A.

55This space was great and safe for my dogs to play in! One note was the sticks all around the yard, which my dogs have an affinity for. There were a ton and they kept eating them but besides that this is a great spot!Angelica N.

55A lovely space in the heart of charming South Orange! The yard is well-maintained and secure, with ample space for running and playing. My dog loved sniffing around the rustic barn doors, too! Kelly is friendly and communicative. I was running a few minutes late and she was kind enough to offer us some extra time to visit. Great experience all around!Amber A.

55Bailee seemed to enjoy being able to walk without her lead… but very apprehensive of her surroundings because she was not familiar with the area . i think she would have maximized use of the yard if I had bought some of her favorite play things. Next time I am sure she will be more comfortable. LAUREN W.

55Kelly’s yard is great for well-adjusted dogs, but it’s located on a fairly busy street about a block away from the downtown area, so it can be very loud with a lot of distractions at times and wasn’t particularly well suited for my reactive dog. If your dog doesn’t have issues with other people, dogs, noises, etc., however, it’s a great spot! The yard is fairly large, well kept, and fully fenced, and there were a few toys either left behind or stocked for use. I had a few questions before our visit and received very friendly and quick responses from Kelly. If my dog didn’t have reactivity/sensory issues we’d definitely be back! Leslie A.

55Pictures do no justice! Plenty of grass! The fence is super tall and sturdy. Seating & tables available for the humans. Well kept/neat yard. Sunny and shady spots. I brought my own water, but there is a hose available for use! Easy access in/out. No major noises despite it being a sunny Saturday afternoon. My baby had a great time walking around and smelling everything. This was our first time using SniffSpot & we will definitely be back! Thank you so much 💖Calleigh V.

FAQ about our South Orange 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the South Orange 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 468 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 102 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.
