55Great spot for dogs to sniff and explore! Plenty of shaded area and space to run around. As mentioned, the neighbor’s dog does bark a lot. Though annoying, it was good training and desensitization for my reactive dogs. Overall, my dogs were relaxed, had fun and were tired afterwards. cindy w.

55Host was very welcoming! Yard was nice and tidy. The yard toys were nice and durable. My pit/lab mix would love to come back. And I would love to come back with my other grumpy, senior dog to let her sunbathe :) Samantha S.

55We had a great time at this Sniffspot - Burak had an assortment of toys and even some dog treats! It’s nice and flat so he had plenty of space to get some energy out. We were also running late due to traffic and Burak was very accommodating. We will be back! Lisa P.

55Great yard! Easy and safe to park, well-maintained grassy spot. I brought my newly adopted Jack Russell/Chihuahua today. He had a ball. Fresh water, squeaky toys that provided novelty; comfortable chairs set in the shade. My dog is reactive around other dogs, so coming here was welcoming, and a soothing place for him to enjoy. We even saw a hummingbird! Thanks you Burak!Susan M.

55Great backyard and what I like most about it is that it's so green and well kept. It was so fun for the pup I took, he slept all the way back to the shelter! Hosts were very nice.Ellen J.

55Such a great spot! My babies loved it! Non-stop zoomies. Clean and safe. The host provided water, toys and poop bags. He also let us in 10 min early from our reservation time. Overall, 5 stars. Super plus that it was such a gorgeous day. Will be back. Christina L.

55Grassy and clean space to run. Ideal for a small dog, but my golden retriever still had a great time running back and forth. Lovely space to have in the neighborhood. Whitney T.

55Very nice big grass yard! My bully pup did so many zoomies as soon as we got in. The gate was a little weird to lock but otherwise everything was simple.Emily W.

FAQ About Richmond 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Richmond 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 236 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 357 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.
