55Such a great spot year round, but especially prepared for summer. The deck has an awning to provide shade. Ice cold water is also provided for humans and pups alike. I also really appreciate that sunscreen was available as I had forgotten to apply some!Johanna F.

55Fantastic experience! I am so grateful you offer your fully fenced backyard for my 7-year-old foster dog, and it was such a great experience! The space was thoughtfully prepared with a beautiful welcome sign, treats, toys, a towel, and a fresh bowl of water. Martin absolutely loved the freedom to explore off-leash, and it was amazing to see his personality shine. I even got some great video and pics for his shelter to post or share with interested adopters. The yard was secure, clean, and perfect for a stress-free play session. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a safe and welcoming environment for their dog!taiasha r.

FAQ About Fanwood 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 Fanwood 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 825 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1091 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.
