55Me and my dog baby had the best time here! Most of the yard is mulch which is great because it had just rained, but my dog didn’t get covered in mud, so I’m grateful. This hosts has a super nice system set up with lots of accommodations. There’s tons of toys to play with, parking was easy, everything was as described. I also had a cute bench to sit on and I felt comfortable in the environment. I definitely would love to take him here again.

55My dogs and I always have so much fun here! Such a great place to spend an hour or so getting fresh air. Lots of shade for the warmer days too.

55My pup had the best time ever! Finding and entering the zoomie zone was effortless and everything is organized so well it makes your experience 100% amazing! The tree rope turned out to be my dog’s favorite part of the zoomie zone, but there were plenty of other toys to choose from. We did the doggy dip and the pool and a towel were all ready for us. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend for anyone looking to find somewhere for their pup to run around, get out energy and have a blast!

FAQ About Gainesville 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.
