55Had a lovely time! Lots of space to run around and lots of places to sit! This spot is very close to the highway so it is noisy in that sense, but other that that, it is very peaceful! We will be back!Kristen H.

55They thought of EVERYTHING a dog could need, or their human. So many toys, treats, and play options. Supplies like sunscreen, dog shampoo, dog wipes, towels. The best experience on my dog’s birthday! She even included a party hat and a treat bag for him because I told her. Emily A.

55Such a great spot! Maple had a blast exploring, running up and down the little hill, chasing every single tennis ball (we don’t get fetch, we just like to chase things). Super secure, so lovely, we will definitely try to back soon. Daniel W.

55This is such a charming spot. There is ample space for my dog to run with slopes and hills to climb. There is a good mix of sun and shade. There is more than enough seating available with a nice, comfortable shaded area for the humans to sit. There is access to fresh drinking water, a kiddie pool, which my dog loved on this hot, sunny day, and an abundant assortment of toys for your dog(s) to play with. The host provides poop bags and a trash can to make clean-up easy. My Greta had so much fun! We will definitely be back. Heidi R.

FAQ About Stoneham 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. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Stoneham 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 368 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 621 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.
