55Everything was wonderful! Ares enjoyed running around and being able to play in the water and with the available toys very much. A great and safe getaway for her to run around off leash in the city. Briana J.

55Lovely, shaded yard! Worth noting it’s right by a subway line, which initially spooked my dog, but that’s on me for not looking at it on a map!Colleen R.

55My doggy is mostly an indoor dog, so he didn’t play much this time—but I’m hoping with more visits, he’ll start to open up and enjoy himself more. The space is really well gated and even has seating for owners, which is a nice touch! 😊Ivy M.

FAQ About Brooklyn 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. 14% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Brooklyn 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 849 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1077 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.
