55Wow, stunning dog park that James (Greyhound) and I both thoroughly enjoyed.It surpassed my expectations to be honest and was a treat to see the horses and cows in the neighboring paddocks. So much space, gorgeous surrounds, ample parking and clear instructions as needed throughout the park. It was clean, had benches, a dog agility course and lush grass. Loved it so much and we will definitely be back again. James loved the different terrains,the water and plethora of smells. Well worth a visit for sure!Sai G.

55Great spot for dogs wanting to explore and snif! Lots of space to run around and the agility coarse is an added bonus. The fence is pretty good and kept our 2 Jack Russell's in side. Will definitely recommend other dog owners to come visit!Andries P.

55My first time using this spot and it was an amazing space. My new foster dog is afraid of traffic which limits our walks so I am so pleased to have discovered this space where she can run off some of her energy!Tracey L.

55Great spot for fur babies and “hoomans” My big boy Kimchi loved chasing my grandson, and I was amazed at the speed of Kimchi.
Bao Bao like a bunny rabbit, bouncing through the long grass, so cute.
Great place for them to explore. Peaceful walk until they came across the horses, first time seeing a horse, barking from a distance.
We’re coming again soon, it’s our “go to place” for both our puppiesCharmaine M.

55We are regulars to this sniffspot. Love the mixture of short grassy areas to play ball, long grass for hide and seek and woodland for exploring. There is even a small obstacle course that dogs would love and a bowl of toys that our pup always checks out. Jayne A.

55We had a fabulous time with our dog who could race and roam freely without being bothered by other dogs. Shelley's heaven provides heaps of space to run, explore and sniff around. Fields and grass are clean, tidy and hazzard free. Loved the additional fun creek, toys and poo bags in case people forgot theirsKlara S.

55Brought my 3 dogs here and they didn’t want to leave despite the 1.5hr booking. So much to do, space to run around and places to sniff and enrich themselves. Can’t wait to book again! Paulina T.

55This is our 3rd or 4th (?) visit to this spot. Great having a spot so close to home to visit for a nice off leash play. The mown track around the paddock makes for a more enjoyable walk! Appreciate the spare poop bags and water bucket for dogs to drink from. Also thought the obstacle course was a great addition. Thanks again!Jo B.

55Shelly’s Farm is always our perferred spot to take our girl! She had a awesome day out their today. I was worried the horses and soccer being played would distract her but she was to busy having the time of her life in the pond. Cant wait to return again!Deborah H.

FAQ About Auckland 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 Auckland 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 51 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 63 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.
