55Great spot! As described, very private and quiet. Please note the gaps under some areas of the fence could allow a small dog out (but surely not a large or medium one). Francesca C.

55Perfect open space to run and play. Tenzin enjoyed the yard even though he was a little obsessed with the frog in the pond. I’m sure he would love to go back. Patricia N.

55Great location and plenty of space for my dogs to roam. Really fun property to explore. Plenty of shade and water at the hose if needed. I would definitely recommend it to others who are looking for a secure place with stuff to explore.Kara M.

55Easy beautiful drive to get to. A great space to allow the dog stretch out for a full sprint! Fence is solid and totally adequate to contain our 45# dog . Agreed a small dog or maybe very persistent medium dog could work to get through. We’d love to come back and so glad to have another space to bring our reactive dog to allow some off leash time!Cheryl C.

55Great spot!! Just what we like- offstreet parking, private access to the yard. Short walk from car to yard, lots and lots of space. Open space for my frisbee lover to play and wooded areas for my explorer to sniff! Love this place!Cynthia B.

55The yard was amazing! So much space and beautiful. There was a pool all filled up that my Labrador loved. We played ball the whole time. They checked out everything and there was a bin of toys and chewys to check out. We had a big group and there was something for everyone. I definitely recommend. Lots of shade too and very quiet.

55Love this spot!!! Our sighthound was loving the big open space to get his speed in and our spitz enjoyed navigating the wooded trails in the back. There’s plenty of scenery for them to use all of their senses with and tons of shade to cool off in. Host was very helpful with answering a couple questions we had, too!Evan L.

55I really love Rachel’s spot. It’s honestly just a dream. The neighborhood is so quiet and comfortable, very peaceful. The yard is fully fenced and the grass and greenery is kept very nice. The yard is long and goes back so far no matter who strong I am with a chuck it the ball will never make it out of the yard, Gideon just loves it here. Lots of sniffspots in this area are small or a bit dirty, but I have no issue sitting in the grass and throwing balls without fear of mud or droppings. I feel blessed being able to borrow this space. Thank you, Rachel! Brianna M.

FAQ About Norfolk 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Norfolk 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 406 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 709 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.
