55Our favorite spot we don’t go anywhere else as I’m driving down the driveway. My dog BB goes crazy she is full of excitement and can’t wait to get out of the car. All I have to do is say we’re going to the farm!!! Sheryl L.

55This is such a great spot. It is our 2nd visit and we were able to bring our new puppy and older dog to come and play. They enjoyed exploring the space. We have never heard a person, another dog, or any neighbors during both visits which is such a plus. My husband & I enjoy this yard just as much as the dogs do.Abby C.

55Orla loved being able to run and explore such a large space. She’s fear reactive to most dogs so dog parks are off limits for us and she rarely gets off-lead time to really run around. The space was clean and had plenty of things to do and sniff. This was such a treat and we will definitely be back!Kathlyn M.

55Such fun agility equipment and plenty of room to run around and sniff. There’s even a tree on its side that was so fun for my pups to crawl over and around. Host was very responsive and you could tell that she really wanted us to have a good time!
It was a little difficult to find as Google Maps had me turn across the street from it so had to do some turns to figure out the right spot. There is signage, but it’s small and hard to see from the road. But that’s something that’s easy to fix with larger signage.
We had a blast!Shannon E.

FAQ about our Silver Springs 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.
