55This was my first Sniffspot experience, and I couldn’t be happier! My foxhound mix was so happy to explore this location, there’s open field, a forested area and water and mud to play in. The owner messaged me the day of to make sure that I would be able to easily find the Sniffspot entrance, and which was very helpful. Overall, my dog and I were very happy with our experience here! I will definitely recommend this spot to my friends and family with dogs!Melanie P.

55My dog loves this spot. If you want a large open space for your dog to just run and explore this spot is great. I’ve never had any issues here. Shawna M.

55This was a great spot!! We could hear people on a nearby trail at times, which was nice to work on training with my nervous and reactive dog! The fence was secure and my dog loved it!Pheby E.

55Love this spot! The first Sniffspot we tried and we still come back. Tons of space for the dog(s) to run and play, a nice little water feature and some shaded areas. The benches are a nice touch too.Ashkahn S.

55Axel doesn’t really get along with other dogs so I wanted to be able to let him run, sniff and just have fun with no other canine interruptions. This place was excellent. He wore himself out doing things without having a leash attached. It is a huge area that was fully fenced so I didn’t have to be in “mom” mode 😊Pamela S.

55This area helps my reactive dog run some energy out and get to just “be a dog”. If your dog is reactive to cars or the sound of dogs barking then this may not be the spot for them but otherwise I would recommend this spot to everyone. Olivia M.

55This is a favourite spot for our girls. There is LOTS of space to run, lots to explore and the pond. It’s basically a large L shaped field which is wide open and has some woods and the pond on the one side.
When you arrive there is a big gate you need to open. It’s easy to do and if you’re from the country you’ll recognize this as a typical field gate. The Sniffspot is clearly marked on a sign pointing left.
It’s a field. Don’t expect it to be flat and it isn’t grassy as it’s a field. There is a little seating area on the right as you enter the field (we’ve never used it as the girls are far too busy running , exploring and playing in the pond) and there is also a dog bowl and barrel to put poop bags in. We’ve always brought our own water and bowl.
The woody area does have a lot of burrs and we’ve spent time plucking them off our giant when she went exploring in there, but it wasn’t a surprise to see them as this Sniffspot is in the country. I would expect burrs at any location which has a woody area. We have great recall and for the most part the girls are more interested in being able to run flat out and explore the pond.
The pond area is full of tall reeds as one would expect. Our giant loves splashing about in it and exploring, spending a fair chunk of time in there each time we visit. Our other dog is 44lbs and ended up swimming yesterday as she ventured further back than she usually does. If your dog jumps in the pond know it’s stagnant water, there’s mud, your dog will get dirty, probably smell a bit swampy, probably a bit ‘fieldy’ from rolling, and they will have THE TIME OF THEIR LIFE! Bring a towel or two. I’ve had our dogs smell worse after running in a dog park in the city and be just as dirty, if not worse.
Fencing is great for our girls. It is by a busy road on one end, and it’s rural or field fencing so if you have a smaller dog and don’t have good recall it may be an issue if you can’t occupy your dog in the field.
To sum up: this is a country Sniffspot so expect a country setting. It’s PERFECT for dogs who love water, to run, and explore.

55Super big area to get full zoomies! There’s no toys there so be sure to bring your own if you pup likes them. Some lovely smelly sections of grass which our girl loved to roll in. Not a big deal we just gave her a bath but be mindful if you don’t want your dog doing that!Kayla Z.

55Have gone twice - it’s fantastic! There is a bit of a gap at the front gate - a small dog or really determined dog could likely get out. Otherwise it’s a great space & the dogs absolutely loved it!Louisa S.

55Perfect spot. It was clean, large, had a variety in landscape that my dog loved exploring fully— and best of all, secluded. There were horses and dogs across the street that were far enough away that my dog paid absolutely no mind to them at all and the spot had plenty of areas where they weren’t in view. Will definitely be back as I prefer not to book a spot that’s just in someone’s backyard. This was perfect! Thank you so much :)Michelle G.

55My dog had so much fun. She loved the water and just ran around with zoomies. Just a heads up if your dog has long fur: there were a lot of burrs that had to be pulled out of my dogs fur after. It never stopped her from running by around though! Elena B.

FAQ About Navan 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.
