55Very serene, big back yard with very high fences. Easy to access. Could only hear other dogs in the distance and could not see any dogs from the backyard, if that’s needed for you. There are toys and water bowls (but if you have picky dogs like mine - take your own!). The seating is wonderful. I will certainly be back. Lauren B.

55This was out second visit to a large fenced in yard with plenty of greenery. We almost missed our scheduled time due to a downpour that occurred right before our visit, however, with the rain opening new smells it was perfect for my pups. They ran, sniffed, and rolled in the refreshing grass. Water and some treats were provided. A very quiet and fun place to visit! We will plan to return.Joy M.

55This was a great yard for the noses of my beagles. They spent the entire hour walking around and sniffing. It’s a big yard with lots of grass and natural areas. There’s also a very nice area for humans to sit and enjoy the space. Very quiet area with no noise from other animals. We hope to return! Joy M.

FAQ About Henrico 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.
