55As always, Curly oaks was beautiful this morning. The pond is a great thing for my dog, I’m hoping he will learn to swim. Good for the summer. If I get hot I can sit under the oaks. It’s a large pasture so my dog and I can play dog-ball with CooperEleanor M.

55Curly Oaks has a secure fence. There is a nice clean pond and of course curly oaks for shade. My baby is reactive so they keep their dogs out of the pasture next door so that is perfect for us.Eleanor M.

55This is a pasture, lots of open space for running and smelling but there is shade curly oaks around the edges of pasture. For the pups a good clean pond for slashing and swimming. I’m hoping my dog will learn to really swim with his feet off the ground. It’s become the favorite spot. Eleanor M.

55My baby loves Curlys..When we get there, I open the car door and out flies Cooper. He lands already running. He goes down to the pond and runs around it again and again. I love this pasture, the sun the breeze and a very happy boy. We’re safe with a good fence no other animals and a large space for fun.Eleanor M.

FAQ About Sarasota 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.
