55Great space! Secure, double-gated entrance and tall fence. My dog appreciated the many toys that were out, and I appreciated the water dishes and that the turf meant a happy and clean(ish) dog. bethany m.

55My pups had a great time playing at Melissa's yard! It is fully fenced in, has a ton of privacy and little distractions. There were many thoughtful additions as well - multiple water bowls, lots of toys and balls, and a seating area of us humans. Additionally, there was plenty of street parking and directions to enter were super easy. We can't wait to go back!Anna F.

55Melissa's backyard is super! Always clean, lit up at night, decorated, happy, water available, treats, sometimes human treats, and loooots of toys! My dogs are obsessed with a lot of their toys lol. The fence is the BEST. I trust this spot the most in the area! I have 2 large dogs and there is still room for them to run like crazy somehow. Highly recommend (:Camille T.

55I completely forgot to take photos, but this was a great spot! 100% fenced and secure, with enough height that I had no worries about an escape (coco is 60 pounds and can definitely jump!). Eliza D.

55We visited Melissa’s to give our baby boy one last fun-filled day before he ventured over the bridge to his next adventure. It was the perfect spot for him to run, play, be goofy and even splash around in the pool. This yard will always hold a special spot as he also previously had enjoyed it with his sister. Thank you for giving us this special space in his last few hours 🐾🌈♥️marissa r.

FAQ About Watertown 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Watertown 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 408 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 694 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.
