55It was very beautiful, peaceful, and easy to navigate around. It was also very well marked so you dont get lost. My two dogs have a lot of fun as well as my children. Also, I forgot bug repellent, BUT there is a pharmacy 5-minute drive from there, so that was great as if any emergency, you are quite close to the town. I will absolutely go back with my dogs and children. Andrea R.

55Perfect spot for our old girl. Level and some shade to lay in.
Ricky responds quickly.
We had to cancel our first visit short notice as our senior Penny wasn’t up to getting into the car that day.
Ricky gave us a credit for the visit when we can make it out.
Thank you for your compassion and understanding :)Andrea R.

55Many open fields and paths throughout, absolutely huge, could easily explore for many hours. My dog loved taking a dip in the smelly muddy pond and even considered it worth the bath he had to have when we got home! Would highly recommend and we will absolutely be back!Laur T.

55We had an amazing time! Our dogs absolutely loved the spacious yard and had a blast playing with the neighbors' dogs through the fence. It was their first time running free off-leash in such a large open space.

55My dog had a great time here today! The place was easy to find, and lots of signage to make sure you don’t get lost. He enjoyed jumping into the small sections of water and just being free to roam around. Will definately be back soon. Jessica W.

FAQ About Ottawa 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. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ottawa 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 24 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 81 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.
