55This property is truly amazing. The property itself is gorgeous, and very clean. There are so many activities for the dogs: various fields for fetch, a nice creek for swimming. We can’t wait to return! Marnie is a lovely host. She left some treats for the dogs, and some water bottles for the humans.

55I reserved this spot for a picnic with my Dad for Father’s Day and it was perfect. They have a creek that runs all through the property and many many shaded trails. We found a shaded spot by the creek and sat on a log for a while before we ate our lunch at the picnic table. We got to walk and catch up with talking while our girl ran around, swam, and sniffed like crazy! Thank you all for the treats and beautiful Sniffspot! We will be back with our friends who have a cocker spaniel. Angel P.

55Wonderful! The instructions given by the host were straight forward. The host responded in a timely manner to any questions that we had. Our dog had one of the best days of his life — getting to run freely off leash in a wooded environment with all sorts of new things to explore. It was a vacation for our suburban dog. Bonus — my child enjoyed exploring and wandering just as much. Me too! Kim R.

55The best spot for water loving dogs! Host was friendly and sent clear instructions to access the property. At the front of the spot there are two large fields perfect for playing fetch. But as you wander back in the woods it is so peaceful and all you can hear is birds chirping! The creek is great for dogs to jump in and out, my dog spent the whole time in the water! I don’t think the wooded area is fenced but there are natural boundaries (steep hills on either side). We all had a great time, we’ll be back! Michelle M.

FAQ about our 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.
