Christina's Private Dog Park In Norwalk | Sniffspot
55Great little spot in Norwalk! Feels surprisingly private for how close it is to major roads. There was fresh water and clean bowls as well as toys. The yard was super clean. Neighbors have yappy dogs but there's a tall privacy fence separating the yards. The only cons are that I couldn't figure out the gate (I just lifted my dog over lol) and also the section of the yard that faces the street only has 3 foot fencing, so if your dog loves to say hi to people walking by and is agile, they could jump it. Overall we really loved the experience! Audrey V.

55Christina is such a wonderful host!
We had a blast bringing our pup to run around a fenced in yard. Best part is that we were able to add on a play date with her pups so it made our experience so much fun. We will definitely be back soon!! Stephanie C.

55As a first-time Sniffspot user, I can't imagine having had a better experience!
- LOCATION: The location is great, it's right off the highway without having to get into the thick of East Norwalk traffic
- HOSTESS: I briefly ran into Christina and she was super sweet and understanding that her yard provides a safe haven to reactive dogs and their conscientious people
- YARD: Lots of space to sniff and run around and not worry about your dog
Again, as a first-timer, I wasn't sure what to expect: I didn't know if the fence would hold my dog; I didn't know if neighboring dogs (either hearing them or smelling them) would trigger her), I was worried about this, I was worried about that.
But in the end, all of my fears and worries were proven wrong and we can't wait to go back again. It's not only a safe space for my dog, but for me too (in that I don't have to worry).e w.

55Thank you both so much for being patient with Bahama Bob, it was great to be able to give him your beautiful yard to explore and run off leash. Your property was so clean and you both were wonderful to work with and loved sharing stories with great dog people. Look forward to our next visit. Lisa M.

55Beautiful flat yard and nice fenced in area for my standard poodle pups to run around. Mix of sun and shade. Hosts delightful; Even some sniffari trails along the side fence behind the bushes. We did see a neighbors dog briefly but my reactive pup didn’t even notice. My dogs loved it and we will be back!Ruth G.

55Great open space, fenced, easy parking. Met the host and they were very nice!! Water bowl for the dogs and even a jar of treats, which were a nice surprise, even if we didn’t take any. Privacy fence on 2/4 sides, 3-4’ wire/metal fence on other 2 sides. Solid amount of shade from a tree, toys from their own dogs, and some space behind the bushes to sniff. Neighbors/dogs could be heard but not seen and cars can be seen and heard but yard is pushed back from street.
A note for people with small dogs who are escape artists: there are a couple spots in the fence that are blocked by a rock that were interesting to my big dog/escape artist. Emmett A.

FAQ About Norwalk 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.
