55Megan was an absolutely wonderful host! She really loves dogs and makes sure that the play experience goes well! I hosted my puppy’s first birthday party with 6 other dogs. It was a very snowy day and she provided us with the fire pit, extension cords to plug in heaters. Everything was ready on time! The place is very well maintained and she has tons of toys! Overall, will definitely go again and recommend this 10/10!Uma K.

55My dog loved running in the fully fenced in yard! She could go on the higher deck but it was closed by a gate on the driveway side. You could hear dogs barking next door but we were warned by previous reviews. Allie M.

55The yard is a great spot to bring your dogs. My boys had so much fun in the open space. My Frenchie had the Zoomiez 10 different times. Very little sun which was perfect for my bully’s. Kay A.

FAQ About Wilmington 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.
