55I hate to give Dawn a great review because it is that great of a place and I don’t want anyone else to know about it. Dawn ‘s private dog park is wonderful. It is well stocked with treats and toys and comfy chairs for the humans. Poop bags, water and bowls are available as well. It is always a pleasure to come here and Cody loves it too!,Tracey N.

55I rescued a dog 3 weeks ago. I was searching for a park I could take him so he can run, run, run. I found it at Dawns Park. Once I unleashed my dog, he had the best time. Needless to say, he fell asleep on the way home. Dawn’s park was clean and well kept. I will definitely be returning. I told several friends (dog moms) about this place and hope to plan a play date in the near future. Cindy H.

55Our dog had such a good time running out her energy here! She’s use to a big yard, and since moving it’s been an adjustment having a smaller yard. This was the perfect place for her!❤️Camryn G.

55First time using private yard and it was great. Lots of room for the dogs to run and play. Had water bowls and dog biscuits although we brought our own snacks for dogs and humans. Was private and nobody bothered. The only thing that was off, and honestly was not something to keep me from returning, but there was a poop that was there before us that someone must not have picked up. It is a huge yard so perhaps someone didn’t see it. Our dogs had so much fun running. I would definitely come back to Dawn’s again! Michelle D.

55Great Space! The dogs enjoyed running around but sad the dogs aren’t allowed in the pool it was very hot for them. But neat the end of our stay shade from the surrounding trees covered more of the yard. And host provided water!Ashala C.

55Super nice host, left out water and bug spray and goodies! Lots of space to run, pups can get a lot of zooms and sniffs in.
Buggy but the host leaves bug spray out for you. Overall a fun spot and we’ll be back! If your dog doesn’t have recall, get a long leash— the space is open so it won’t get tangled in trees. Madison T.

FAQ about our Summerville 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?
