55I can’t say enough good things about this dog-friendly backyard! It’s a total game-changer for my reactive dog. The space is thoughtfully designed with plenty of room to roam without feeling overstimulated. Tons of toys are available to keep my pup engaged, and the layout makes it easy for him to relax and feel safe.
There are also lots of comfortable seating areas, so I can hang out and enjoy the space too. It’s clear that a lot of care and intention went into creating an environment that works for both dogs and humans. The easy access in and out is a huge bonus—stress-free from start to finish.
Honestly, this is the only place I’ll be visiting from now on. It’s rare to find a backyard setup that truly supports reactive dogs, and this one absolutely nails it. Highly recommend!kai e.

55This place was awesome! As dog parents of a reactive dog, the barkyard allowed our dog to run around and decompress away from our busy city life. There were no gaps in the fence making us feel safe that our dog couldn’t get out. We are excited to play her again!Jenna F.

55Our pups had an absolute blast at Stephanie's! Yard is super spacious, tall fencing all around, lots of toys, tennis balls, treats, sunscreen, poop bags, literally everything you could need. Our pups loved taking a dip in the pool. Lots of shade which is essential for hot summer days to keep our pups comfortable and their paws protected. Lots of seating available, everything clean and homey. I especially appreciated the outdoor fan as I am always running hot. Cannot say enough good things, we will surely be back! Thank you so much, Stephanie!Marina G.

55If I could imagine a dream back yard for my dog to play in, it could not be as perfect as Stephanie’s Bark Yard. Augie does not get off leash much in the city, but at Stephanie’s he runs like the wind, is learning to play fetch, and is getting to love the playing in water, thanks to the 5’x7’ puppy pool.

55My dog and I had an absolute BLAST here! The yard was clean, large, and filled with everything you could possibly need or want for you and your dog. I don’t have a yard, and Stephanie’s place is only a four minute drive from where I live, so this was super convenient for me! My boy and I will absolutely be back in the future. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who is thinking of giving it a try! Thank you for renting out your space, Stephanie!Caroline M.

FAQ About Stoneham 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. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Stoneham 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 364 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 628 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.
Sniffspot has 364 fully fenced dog parks in or near Stoneham. Browse all fully enclosed options.
