55My dogs and I really enjoyed this spot SO much. Drove 1 hour to get here and it was worth it.
Very quiet & private, the water was nice and clean as was the entire space.
My dogs are good off leash so no fencing wasn't a problem. It has some sectioning so isn't a layout where my dogs even needed to leave the area.
Thank you Sarah! 🐾Katie M.

55My dogs had an absolute blast at this spot!
They’re both high-energy but have very different play styles—one is obsessed with fetch and water, the other prefers sniffing, running, and exploring. This place checked both boxes. The pond was definitely the highlight—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for swimming and water fetch. They were in heaven!
That said, take the “no fence” warning seriously. My little explorer usually has solid recall (about 90% of the time), and I saw the property was on 5 acres, so I assumed neighboring houses would be far off. But you can see some homes through the woods. There were a few moments when I could tell he was debating whether to bolt—those gears were turning!
Also, the trail is a bit overgrown, so I recommend wearing long pants and sturdy shoes if you plan to explore the wooded areas.
Overall, we loved it and will definitely be back—next time with some high-value treats to keep those listening ears turned on. 😂Nexsy M.

55We had a blast! Lots of space to explore. The pond is nice, but our dogs didn’t want to swim when we were there, they were more interested in sniffing and running around the open space. They also enjoyed exploring in the woods. Would definitely visit again!Ashley K.

55We really enjoyed getting out hiking with Knox. The trails are a bit hard to find and follow when there’s a lot of leaves down so just keep that in mind. Amelia H.

55What a beautiful property! My pup loved it though to be honest he’s so not used to going places he kept circling back to the vehicle lol. He explored even dipped his toes in the pond, and they were kind enough to have water and treats out. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again.Ellen D.

FAQ About Monson 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.

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.
