55As always this is a great spot, my dog was overjoyed to find a brand new ChuckIt ball, which was strategically hidden from him before we left. Many thanks!Charlotte P.

55Another great visit. We brought the agility cousins and we all had a blast. We come weekly and every visit the pup is easier to catch at the end of the hour. Might be able to trust him in public one day soon ๐คฃ Sarah C.

55This was our first time - there were dog bowls ready and a tap - so water isn't a problem.
There's plenty of room to run about, and also a corner with trees and long grass for the dogs to go exploring.
Thanks!Warren B.

55I love this spot! It was perfect. Completely secure. My dog sniffed and sniffed and then finally chased a ball!
There was a hose for water and a cool down, there was drinking bowls, toys and even a seat for me.
Will definitely be backJen H.

55Amazing little spot for our high-energy little Husky. She looked like she was so free. She met the little puppy at the fence that was crying to come in. We definitely will be back again, and we will be bringing her friend along as well. Highly recommend this spot.Awhina P.

FAQ About Eskdale 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Eskdale 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 3 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
