55I brought my Greyhound and Bullmastiff x for our first visit here today. We have been hoping for something like this to open in St. Catharines, and here it is!
Ashley is an amazing host who's thought of every little detail. Parking is provided, as well as water, poo bags and little treats. The yard is HUGE and there is so much room for the pups to run around. They had a blast!
We have already booked our next visit and luckily this is very close to where we live, because we will for sure be regular visitors.
Thanks Ashley!Tara F.

55Absolutely gorgeous space, even in February! I'm sure it will be amazing in the summer. It's a little tricky to play fetch with all the big lovely trees, but there is a clear path to throw a ball about 2/3 of the way down the yard. The yard was very tidy, I wasn't worried about my boy getting into anything or my senior girl with bad eyesight tripping. The hosts very kindly put out water and stuff for the pups and for people, and there are lots of places to sit. Overall just a very nice space to hang out for an hour, and this is absolutely joining the list of places I visit regularly with my pups. Emmaline S.

55My dog loved this spot. A very large space for him to run, nice large trees, and a peaceful setting. We really appreciated the drinks and dog toys and treats! Can't wait to see it here in the spring and summer when it is in full bloom. Had a great time and would highly recommend.Amanda R.

55Beautiful spot. As described. No nasty surprises. Very thoughtful hosts. My Ollie loved it as the yard is really deep, allowing her to get up to her best gazelle-like speed. She is sometimes reactive, so this is the perfect place for her to run with a friend. We will be back! And thank you.Pat M.

55We really enjoyed our stay on the owners property. The yard is long and is a good size for dogs that like to run and chase after balls, like mine does. The owner left out treats, some toys, poop bags, water and a small garbage can for the waste I picked up. There is a tiny pond on the property that is somewhat hidden by foliage, it took a little while for my dog to find it but he did and he did jump in it a couple of times! Lol! Thankfully my dog dries off fairly quickly, but if you have a long haired dog this may be something to consider. That being said, the owner did provide hand towels for drying off dogs.
We definitely will be coming back to this spot!

55This is the best sniffspot ever! The place is wonderful, peaceful, beautiful, and totally equipped as a dog park. My reactive dogs had the best time here. There are so many things to sniff and get entertained with. Not only grass but huge trees, bushes, branches, flowers, small fountain/pond: A dog paradise. I am definitely doing this on a regular basis now with Ashley. She was really kind, friendly, and the best host. Treats, water, poop bags, and even toys for them to play! 100% recommend it! The entrance is so easy to find and it has a great parking place right at the entrance. Sara S.

FAQ about our St. Catharines 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the St. Catharines 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 235 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 38 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.
