Description

***IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD*** With big wide open trails, forest, marsh, creeks and wildlife, this doggy paradise attracts visitors from all over southern Ontario. Trail map is found here: https://tinyurl.com/trailmapoct2024 Trails are open, mowed and maintained all year long. We host a beekeeper who has about 40 hives on a well-marked and avoidable section of one trail. The bees are out only from April to October but please avoid the hives anyway. Read the reviews to get a good sense for what kind of experience you will have. We are grateful for all the positive feedback and pledge to make your experience just as fantastic.

Cleanliness

99% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water Bee hives on one trail - they don't like small dogs! Easy to avoid, well marked. Bees aren't active in fall and winter, but stay away from the hives anyway. We live out in the country and there are coyotes. They are very shy, and if you stay on or near the trails you will never see them. Avoid dusk or early morning if this is a concern for you.

I love to ski, so I cut a lot of trails. My dog Teddy is a shy but friendly Shitzu-Poodle mix who likes to go on long walks. Teddy and I are happy to share the trails with other dogs.

There are forest trails and trails around our hay fields. **Please note **Our residential areas are off limits, please stick to the trails and blue markers. Please do not enter any of the buildings on our property. When you come up the driveway veer to the right, there is a marked parking spot for you and your pup.

Please check in at the front desk to get the key to the yard, and clean up after yourself. There are water bowls in the yard, but please bring your own water. There are trees providing shady areas throughout the day. If bringing back the key when we are not open, please put it in the Mailbox, located beside our Front Doors. When we are open, our receptionists will gladly take the key back from you! All the fees go directly to the animals in our case, and we are a registered charity and no-kill shelter.

Private Dog Park In Waterdown at Goldenwood Acres

Partially Fenced
6 acres

***IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD*** **PLEASE READ BELOW** Welcome to Goldenwood Acres! On our 26-acre hobby farm, we have a 6-acre fenced farm field/dog park. It is a large place! Enjoy seeing natural landscapes, trees, and privacy along the way. Have fun, play catch, train and let your animal have unleashed freedom! We have uploaded a printable "safety map" for each season, which contains a legend for your use and the status of the park. Please note that the fire pit is not available during the winter season. PARKING AND DIRECTIONS TO SNIFFSPOT: 1. Ride up and park in the guest parking. You will see a white sign with green letters “Guest Parking” nailed to the hydro pole above the yellow and black slow sign. 2. Typically, there is a red jeep parked in one of the three parking spaces. You can also park on the grass if it's not too wet. 3. When you exit the vehicle, please leash and walk your dog until you reach the SniffSpot. 4. Walk towards the white barn, and about 1/3 of the way, hang a right and head towards the Highway. Follow the tree line through the field. Do not go to the left/west side, if past the chicken fencing by gate #1, that is the wrong way. Turnaround. 5. Avoid going through the forest; the larger pond will block you, and the woods are thick. 6. The path through the field will curve a bit and take a hard right, and you will see an opening with a gate. That is the SniffSpot. *2025 UPDATE – October 20, 2025* 2024 was a wonderful year! It was our first year in business and because of you, we were the top spot in the local area! 2025 is almost behind us. Since opening, we have had 255 happy dogs with a rating of +4.7 out of 5! Our Corgi loved walking after your visits because of all the new dog smells. We have reviewed all of your comments and feedback. One of the recent milestones is that we have levelled the field, and the space is very open and clean. Here are some additions and projects we will em”bark” between now and 2026 to improve your experience and the Sniffspot: 1. Fence gap at the Pond: Our neighbour has permitted us to install a fence segment on their property to close the fence gap at the pond. Once installed, we can declare a 100% fenced-in spot before the 2026 2. Entrance signage: We will be adding a main sign at the parking space, which includes a printout of the Sniffspot map, extra doggy bags, and garbage with a mini roof/shelter. 3. Directional signage: We will be adding posts with signs and directions that will be installed throughout the property in the summer of 2026. If you have any questions, please let me know. We hope to see you in 2025 and beyond! Best Regards, Daniel, Rachelle, Jacqueline and Scotch (the Corgi) FENCING DETAILS The 6-acre Dog Park Field is permanently fenced with approximately 2,500 linear feet of 4’ tall farm fence. The farm fence consists of professionally installed 2” by 4” squares of wire mesh (commonly used for smaller livestock such as sheep, donkeys, cows, etc) and cedar posts. If you look at the photo, you can see the locations of the gate on the main photo or on the “safety map” (see photos and captions). We have more fencing on other parts of the property outside of our dog park in case your dog does not have a good recall. The space is very large, so even during the events of potential escapes, the risk is low. Best Regards, Daniel, Rachelle, Jacqueline and Scotch (the Corgi)
