55Diggy and I covered just a fraction of the acreage at this beautiful location. His nose hardly left the ground and got to swim and swim some more. We saw a heron fishing the shoreline and two swans. Directions were perfect. I Can't wait to come back!

55This was truly one of the most magnificent experiences I've had with my dogs! Having three rescue pups who can be reactive toward other dogs, I feel that opportunities for allowing them to experience freedom on walks is limited. I stumbled upon this Sniffspot thanks to another member of a Facebook dog page that I'm part of. We will be back again and again! Thank you!!Shawna B.

55Great spot. Lots of wide open areas to run around with all the grass nice and short. Instructions for entering and parking were very clear. We loved the streams that surround the spot! We’ll definitely be back in the summer months. Jenn R.

55I have 2 German Shepherds who both begin whining well before we even turn onto the property road in that mysterious way dogs have of knowing when something wonderful is coming. We are frequent flyers here and I can attest that the property has special attractions every season of the year. Cynthia C.

55Awesome time for all 3 dogs, ranging in age from 2-13. Old one was totally content with just pottering around and sniffing and the young one really enjoyed the space just to run like a crazy beast and the middle age one enjoyed a combo of of the sniffs and running. The property is really amazing.Rene H.

55Instructions on where to park, etc. were very clear. Appreciated the bucket for poop bags! A map showing property boundaries would be helpful (and maybe I missed it on the app) but we had no problems and the dogs had a blast. It was a beautiful day after a rainy morning. Pretty property. I hope to come back! Cathy N.

FAQ About Waverly 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.

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.
