55Super awesome yard with so much space to run! Good shade options, toys & a few places for humans to sit as well 🥰 there are chickens next door, who couldn’t have cared less about our dogs and our dogs didn’t care either but something to be mindful if your dog would fixate lol. We will certainly be back!! Alyssa H.

55This yard is always clean and ready for a good play session. My dogs are excited for the kiddie pool to make it's grand entrance! One of my dogs constantly goes to the "pool spot" as if it will magically appear during our session. I tell him, "soon buddy, we need more sunshine first". Overall, Adam always has clean toys, fresh water, and baggies to clean up after our boys.
Thanks Adam! Jill H.

55Great size yard and easy to find. There were toys and fresh water and a spot to throw our pool bags away. Our dogs loved to smell the fence line and run between the trees!Anthony L.

55We've been here a couple times now with Shelby. Great open space with some trees on the edges. Nice selection of misc balls and toys if you forget yours, I especially like how there is a crate for once they are dirty. My Shelby liked the room to get some good runs in. Also very quiet and relaxing area. We'll be back for sure.Dan J.

55Sniffspot located on a dead end road in a super quiet neighborhood. The huge yard was perfect for fetch with the Chuck-it toy! Lots of different balls to choose from and host had fresh water waiting for us 😁Tess V.

55This lot is big and has lots of different things. Very much a country yard. My dog loved running around and smelling all the different things. There are chickens, but they kept in their coop the whole time. Plenty of sticks to play with. alicia s.

55This is a great space! We had a fantastic time.
Be aware there are several wood piles, some machinery, and some other detritous in the yard. It didn't bother us at all though! Elizabeth S.

55My dog loved all the different areas to explore and smell here! Easy to find. Secure fencing. Fresh tennis balls at the gate. There are small wooded areas with lots of things to smell and plenty of space to run free! Becca L.

55Sully gives this SniffSpot 4 dew claws up. He loved all the structures he could sniff around and appreciated the fresh batch of tennis balls to fetch with! I appreciated the willingness of the host to turn in the fire pit before we came to be able to warm up on this extra chilly day!Kelsy G.

55Huge space to romp around in the snow! Lots of wood piles to sniff and explore.
There's a bird enclosure that my Sashabear was very very interested in but the birds seemed to be dog savvy.
The entry gate is huge but very easy to move.
This spot us a good value for the money! Tess V.

55Mom took me to another place where I could run around outside without my leash today! It would have been a great place for playing fetch, but I was more in the mood to sniff and explore. It was a little warm outside for me when we were there and there were these cool stairs that went to a door that I think went inside. I wanted to go up and get in there, but she said I needed to come back down to play. Then after another run around the yard, I saw these things that mom called chickens in the yard next door. I wasn't sure if I should watch or chase them, but mom kept telling me to let them be. I think she might have been worried thay I would leap over the fence to get them. I wouldn't, but she gave me treats for coming back toward her anyway (sucker)!
I feel like it would be a fun place to meet up with a friend and play chase. I hope that I get to go back again and sniff all the sniffs some day. Thanks for sharing your awesome yard!Sue M.

FAQ About Andover 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.
