5510/10 Very spacious yard! Mostly high fences and very quiet around the area. Me and Raiden loved it. And just a little FYI there are some local cats walking a around if your dog is reactive. Karina R.

55Wonderful first experience at this SniffSpot! Lots of fun things to do and plenty to sniff. Our dog loves to dig and she was in heaven at the dig pit. It wasn’t sunny when we went but there is plenty of shade if needed. We’ll def be coming back! Jeanine B.

55Have tried to figure out where I could take the dogs, other than a dog park, for years. Finally! They ran until they could run no further. Love that these are popping up! Thanks for your gracious hospitality. Michelle B.

The area was so nice, had so much shade, places to sit, balls and dog bags were even there incase you forgot them. Will Absolutely be back! Amber H.

55The site had a large number of items and areas for my young pup to investigate. After he carefully checked the yard out, he ran from area to area, sniffing and exploring until he was exhausted. We only stayed for about 40 minutes because it was hotter than I anticipated and he was basically worn out. We'll definitely be back.Leon J.

FAQ about our Tampa small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Tampa?
There are 189 small dog parks in the Tampa area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
