55Yard was very nice & clean. Easy street parking. It is in a neighborhood, close to neighbors with other dogs. Wasn’t a huge deal for us because we used the barking as a training opportunity. Towards the end, the neighbor dog let into their yard & the barking & fence running made it a little too much for us, so we left early.
Overall great yard & I’ll definitely be back, but for severely dog reactive/aggressive dogs, this might not be the best fit. Samantha L.

55Great yard for the city! Plenty of street parking. Host was easy and fast to communicate with and very friendly in person. There is some comfortable outside chairs and a table.
Of note:
*Bring your own dog toys (there are a couple there, but not a lot - this isn't a criticism, just an informative statement).
*Planes are near by - if your dog doesn't like loud noises, that might be an issue
*There were some personal items out (shoes, bike etc), my dog is teething, so I obviously watched him closely. (Again, not a criticism, just an informative statement).sara m.

55Good! But there is what sounds like a big dog that was somewhere behind the yard that was barking a lot during our visit. So if that triggers your dog I would be aware. Rachel D.

55Ross's backyard was perfect for us to run around in the yard and take a break in the shade (for me AND for the pup). I brought toys, but here were a few balls in the yard that, of course, my dog preferred! He and I both had a great time, and we will come back again. Julie K.

FAQ About Winthrop 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Winthrop area are 5 stars.
