55What a beautiful private dog park! The lush green trees, the open fields, the ponds, it was a doggie haven. Bridget also helped me out by providing bug spray which came in handy this time of year. It was a pleasure to visit and we will definitely be back! Eleni L.

55We had the absolute blast!! This was our first sniff spot and wow!! We were blown away 😍 We have a sweet, nervous boy, so to have all of this space for him to be himself freely without stress, meant the world. Cannot recommend this place enough! ❤️Alyanna M.

55Very quiet and peaceful setting. Open mowed areas are great for training. The paths were clear and mowed also, there is so much space to wander and exercise. Our pup loved it and so did his human. Grizz P.

55We hadn't been here since the spring, and really enjoyed the improvements with extra walking paths. My swimming dog jumped in the pond but we couldn't stay long because I forgot to bring strong mosquito repellant. Will come again!Julia R.

55My dog and I had an amazing time here! The trails are well kept, and there is so much space for her to run around and be herself. Loved that there was a pond she could go swimming in. We'll be back for sure! TJ N.

55Absolutely bucolic. Too many things to say about this amazing sniffspot. My only regret is not getting a picture of all these Canadian tiger swallowtails that were flitting around in the fields. Such a beautiful spot!Stephanie J.

55This place is vast and incredible. Rife with different terrains and levels, little creatures like frogs - a haven for any dog that loves to climb, sniff, and all around explore. It should be noted that on rainy days/after there can be ALOT of mosquitoes, which is typical of Ontario. The host provides great bug repellent, but do dress accordingly. Mirella N.

We loved running through the field and we did utilize the outhouse ( bonus) great spot all around will definitely be back next time we are in Ottawa! We also purchased farm fresh eggs and some dog treats that were left for us in a cooler at the parking area! Susie D.
