55Lots of fun areas in the yard for the pups to explore! The fence is a little low by the gate side (maybe 3ft) but that wasn’t a concern for our crew. Dogs had a great time! Thanks for having us! Diana F.

55This yard is fantastic! So many areas to explore. Only thing to look out for is when you first enter, the fencing is very low which made it so I had to kind of monitor that area during our visit just because one of my dogs would have been a bit reactive if we saw another dog walking by. Lili L.

55This was the perfect spot for our two dogs to run, play, and relax. We just moved to the area and no longer have a fenced yard of our own, so we were so glad to bring the dogs here! We will be back, at the request of Jet and Autumn :) Danniele M.

55Our 3yo Golden Retriever “Luke” had a great time chasing his ball, checking out the vegetation and doing zoomies in the nice soft grass. He decided part way through our visit it was time for a nap so we left early…. We will be back .. great playground for our pup.Ken R.

55Awesome spot. Coco had a blast! Several small sections of the fence are lower, maybe 3 feet, so just keep an eye on your pup around those areas. LOTS of smells and fun areas for your pup to run around and explore! Eliza D.

55Hi there! It’s Akira here, and I just wanted to tell you about the amazing backyard I get to visit! Every time I go there, I have the best time ever. There’s so much room to run around and play, and they have this super fun pool that I just can’t resist. On hot summer days, I love splashing around in the water and playing with all the cool water toys they have. By the end of the day, I’m always super tired and happy. Gabriela A.

55Greta had a great time chasing her tennis balls. The entrance was easy to find, and there was convenient off-street parking. The owner had dog toys and a kiddie pool, but we didn't take advantage of those on this visit. The yard was neat and clean. There is plenty of shade for when your dog needs a break from the heat. We will definitely be back!Heidi R.

55My pups loved this yard! There are so many nice garden areas that they can explore and it’s big enough for a large dog to run around in. There’s plenty of shade trees for them to rest under as well Shoshonee T.

55SO much room to run , my dogs loved the big open field to chase each other and play fetch, they especially loved running circles around the shed 😅 so much he sounded like a hyena 🤣 super clean and nice neighborhood, I did have to block the stairs with something because mine were super interested in going on the deck so sorry if they were a bother when I was showing them off!

FAQ About Methuen 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. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Methuen 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 310 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 526 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.
