55This spot is gorgeous! Well maintained lawns, lots of space to spread out, good visibility so you can keep an eye on your dogs easily.
My big reactive dog loved the water spots (we did have to be careful around the more narrow bits as he is a boomba) and it was reassuring to see the double fence situation so he couldn’t escape.
Lots of shade, heaps of places to chill out. Really impressed!
Shelley’s communication was great and she answered all my questions quickly and fully.
We’ll be back soon (and will remember to take photos next time)!Di O.

55✅ Reactive dog ✅
Dax behaves aggressively towards other dogs, so it was really nice to see this private place pop up for rent.
After 5 minutes I started to relax and enjoy my time there with him (after the usual reactive dog parent head swivelling stops 😂). It was out of the way and fully fenced with a closable gate to secure the area.
There were horses grazing in the paddocks at the back end, but they only came to the fence to catch some shade for 5 mins before off grazing again.
⚠️ There was a man with 2 off leash dogs in the soccer field adjacent to the section ⚠️ It was no fault of the host that they were there, but if you have a reactive dog like Dax it might pay to cast your eyes over there every now again during your visit. There is a fence in between but a keen dog might be able to get through.
We kept out of sight and away from that fence-line once we spotted them, there was more than enough room to create distance.
All in all I think this is a really cool spot for sniffs!! I’m just leaving a super thorough review because I know there are sooooo many people out there with dogs like mine who would really benefit from using such a space 💜 it’s hard knowing where we can exercise them safely and actually ENJOY our dogs.
Dax loved the water part 😂 neither of us cared about the mud, it was WAY too much fun! Pictures are proof!!
I am so grateful to the host for allowing us to use this space 🥰🙏 Thank you. I look forward to next time!Jennifer B.

55Awesome Sniffspot! It does feel awkward because you’re pulling up to a stranger’s house but let the van photo be your guide. It’s the nature of the system and just know you’re in the right spot! My girl had a great time exploring and sniffing all the things. Romped in the stream a bit and found so many sticks to chase and chew on. We will be back!Katie A.

55Great spot, highly recommended, will go again. Can't wait!
Suggest using Google Maps to find the place, as it can be a little tricky. There's a side road (really a large driveway) just before/after the large roundabout. Go all the way down this (looking out for the street number), until you see the picture with the van.
There's a paddock with dog toys/pools/bowls by the entrance -- this is the spot.Alan L.

55Awesome spot - would highly recommend!
Follow your GPS app of choice, then you'll find the spot with the pictured van and gate to the left of the residence.
Key things we loved:
⭐️ Fencing kept our two girls (Huntaway x and Jack Russell) contained, so we were happy for them to explore off-leash
⭐️ Clean property with well-maintained grass
⭐️ Several fenced paddocks with natural features like a creek, bushes and trees
⭐️ Gates, in case you want to contain your pup(s) to certain paddocks
⭐️ Lots of tree shade, great for a break from the sun
⭐️ Sniff spots include grass along fences, trees, logs, branches, pinecones and more!
About the surroundings:
ℹ️ There were two horses on the property adjacent to one of the back paddocks. There was double-fencing between them and the horses moved away after a while.
ℹ️ As mentioned in previous reviews, Fred Taylor Park is to the left of the paddocks. There is fencing and plenty of space on the property to maintain distance, in case you're conscious of other people/dogs.
ℹ️ We heard dogs barking a couple of properties away, but we didn't see any other people or animals on/near the property otherwise.
ℹ️ Our Huntaway x can be reactive (on leash) to unfamiliar people or animals, but she had no problems with the surrounding distractions!
Thank you Shelley for hosting a safe space for our pups to play in 🩷 So looking forward to our next visit!!Abby M.

55The dogs had a fantastic time. It was so nice to not have to worry about off lead interlopers.
We did have trouble finding it though even with Google maps. Look for the red brick fence at the entranceAlan B.

55Dogs loved it! Good mix of shade and sunny paddocks. And clusters of trees with the creek too. And good sized clear areas for a whippet to absolutely motor. Entrance is a little confusing for gps. But there is a big brick entry fence with letter boxes at start of shared driveway. That's a good marker. Head along there and once you are down the drive to the sniffspot there appears to be a couple of entry points/gates to the land. One has a kind of frisbee tied to it ! Enjoy Lisa O.

55This place is great! A nice group of small fields with a creek, chairs and some shade. My dog loved it. There were two horses in the next field over separated by a double fence and some vegetation. My GSD either didn't notice or didn't care. We'll for sure be back!Michael K.

55Another visit to this spot, the dogs loved the new little obstacles that have been set up. Great place for summer as the dogs can cool off in the stream and there’s shaded areas too.

55I took my furbaby - Orange and his bff - Sasuke. Sasuke is my sister’s furbaby who is highly reactive and super strong, it was the first time we got to see him run free but also choose to stay close to us. Thank you for the amazing space. It was super clean, with plenty of sun and shade for us to watch them from. Host was helpful. Thank you again for making this space what it is, which is a heaven for our furbabies. Will be back for another play soon. To’a T.

55Beautiful spot! We visited recently with my parents and their dogs. Heaps and heaps of space, and multiple spots for them to play in the creek. Was very private and we had no issues with any fences. There were two horses in an adjacent paddock at the back who came over to say hi, completely unfazed by the dogs. It is a bit hard to find if you haven’t looked at all the photos with directions - so do that first coz they really help!Grace L.

FAQ about our Auckland fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Auckland?
There are 22 fully fenced dog parks in the Auckland area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
