55This was such a cute little spot, we came in the later afternoon and the backyard was shaded and the turf wasn’t hot for our pup! The pool was very well kept and has stairs so your pup can adjust to the water. Host provided doggie poop bags, so many chew toys, dog beds and lots of seating options for the people. The space had many beautiful plants that added to the atmosphere. Dylan B.

55Our yorkie absolutely loved this spot! He took a surprising leap into the pool and that’s when we found out he’s a water baby. It was a lovely and clean place to relax. Isabella M.

55Definitely on the smaller side for big dogs but we had a blast. I’m trying to teach my dog not to be afraid of water when his feet don’t touch the floor so the pool was perfect. We will definitely be back. Maritza V.

55The yard is always clean and SUPER spacious! Plenty of room for your pup to run and sniff. You may want to bring your own chair so that you can sit. Now that the weather is getting cooler, we’ll definitely be coming a few times a week! Rai S.

55My pups had SO much fun! she had snacks and drinks for the humans too which I thought was so sweet! it was a bit muddy but that’s to be expected from the water. My Pom also got out from under the fence but she’s not a runner so she came right back but just keep that in mind if you have a small pup! overall GREAT experience :)Natalie A.

55The host was very communicative and helpful the whole time! Lots of room for the dogs to do zoomies. We’ll be back again once it’s more dry outside! :)
I would’ve done 4 stars because there was trash around the pool area and the entry gate didn’t latch, BUT the owner let us know they had tenants in the home so those could be unusual circumstances. Rhema J.

55There were so many things for dogs and humans but the time flew by so fast just spending time with my standard poodle in the pool. I booked an hour as she loves water but she’s never been in a real swimming pool and this was the perfect pool for it. She could easily swim to the stairs and walk right up the stairs and she could walk around the pool no problem. My friend and I took turns in the water with her, that way we could take pictures of her and videotape her first experience in a pool. I can honestly say she didn’t have a lot of interest in other things because she was really interested in that swimming pool. It was crystal clear and clean. The crepe myrtles and everything around it gave it a nice oasis feeling. I didn’t notice any openings that an animal could get out and I definitely will be coming back to this location because I felt very comfortable which is great considering this was the first time I’ve ever used Sniffspot. I don’t remember hearing any dogs barking or anything from neighbors, and my dog was not distracted by anything around whereas she normally is at my own house.Karen L.

FAQ About Richardson 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.
