55The dogs had a blast sniffing around Jennifer's yard! It felt very private, even with a residence being present in the yard. A few different landscapes for the pups to enjoy, treed/shady areas, longer grass. Sounds of a small farm close by, but no issues for my pups. A nice collection of dog sticks available. Clearly marked sign with my reservation and secure fencing throughout. I didn't see dog poop bags available, so bring your own! Chantal K.

55Really cool spot for the dogs to just run free on the pathways and through the long grass, they had a really good time! We went in the evening and it was a little buggy so good to be prepared for that but overall a great experience for all. Marie B.

55My dog was so excited when we turned off the main road. We absolutely love this little piece of heaven, I wish I could buy it!

55My dogs and I loved the spot! There is so much room for them to run, explore, and things to sniff. We all ended up a bit muddy, but it's to be expected, and the dogs loved it. There is water and a bowl, poop bags in case you forget yours. The area is very secure, and even though my dogs could hear other dogs and animals nearby, it was private enough for my reactive dog to not be too bothered. Parking and entrance clearly marked. We will certainly go back! Tara K.

55They have a nice clean bowl with drinking water available for your dog! Right on!
I just love this space! The freedom and relaxation that me and my dog both have here is the best feeling. No leashes, no muzzle. A really private natural setting.
My dog ran all over the place. Really positive visit. We will be back!Sarah G.

55Cute spot! One of my two dogs are blind, so we kept to the outer cleared trail. There's some deep mud on the back edge of the yard, so prepare for some muddy paws/boots if we get more rain. Easy to find and access. I brought my own bowl and water as someone else had mentioned standing water that's tempting for the pups to drink, and I'd suggest that for others accessing the space. Doggie bags and garbage can available near the entrance.Chantal K.

55Great space. Our 2 dogs ran around like crazy! They loved it! There is a pool of standing water they wanted to drink from, so best to bring your own water. Will be back. Watching them chase each other in the tall grass was so fun Cam B.

FAQ About Nelson 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. 37% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Nelson 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 3 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
