55Great spot to toss the ball for my dog. I had read through the comments prior to my visit so I had a really good idea what to expect. I have a long haired dog and we only acquired one bur. Easy to find and access following the hosts directions. We'll definitely be going back for more visits Christine P.

55Our dog loves zooming up and down the hills and running through the pond at this sniff spot.
Clayton has obviously put in a lot of work since his property was hit hard in the 2022 windstorm. Thank you Clayton! The spot looks great and we appreciate everything you do!Kira M.

Each visit is unique with each season.

55Perfect place for my pup to burn off his energy...there's a dog that lives across the street who is noisy but it is good practice for us to work on our obedience and ignoring distractionsRuth B.

55My huskies had a wonderful time!! It was so nice to let them off-leash with no stress of other dogs. There was even a place to sit. Highly recommend for doggos who love sniffing and running around. I only wish we lived closer. Will definitely be bringing them back when I canCheri C.

55Dogs love our visits, as always! If you want to explore with your dog, bring snowshoes as the snow is deep to traverse in areas, and if you have an older dog you’ll want to cut a bit of trail. My older dog struggled but I knocked down some paths for him Meg D.

55Great spot, as always, and so beautiful in the winter.
If your dog has poor recall and tends to run away just know that the snow blocks the gate from closing/opening fully. No problem for us, but perhaps important to others :)Cat D.

55Excellent large fenced-in area to bring my reactive dog to play. It was also clean and there's a garbage at the gate to easily dispose of your dog waste before leaving. Meagan D.

55We have an older german shepherd, who is not great with other dogs. It’s been hard finding a safe space to let her run around and enjoy herself since moving to Ottawa. This was the perfect spot for us, and we’ll be back with her and our puppy in the future! Kenz B.

55My dog is petrified of other dogs as he’s an abused rescue. This place is perfect for him! Today was our first visit and he was nervous smelling all the other animals but over time he will learn that it’s a safe space just for him. Love this idea and love that there is a place to take him where he can run free! Zahrah H.

55I had an absolutely amazing time and so did my dog. Lots of space to run, play fetch and do some training. The host was also amazing and very helpful. My dog is absolutely exhausted which was the goal so thank you so much! Definitely highly recommend Nona A.

55We absolutely loved our visit and will be back!! The property was very clean and had a bowl of fresh water. We walked the whole perimeter and didn't see a spot where my dog (german shep) could escape. There was a towel and garbage by the gate. The field is pretty damp and muddy is some places. Bring extra water and towel as your dog will be dirty. Dominique D.

55Great spot to let the dogs run and play without worry. A lot of people had comments about the style of fence and that it was broken. We had no issues with any of the fence being broken but it is a farm style wire fence (pictures can be seen if you click through the images on the site) so if you're not comfortable with that type of fence I would check out the pictures before booking.
The only thing that would be great is if there was a parking lot as right now you have to park along the road but we already knew that before booking so it was fine.
Overall we had a great experience and would definitely book again. Shouldn't have to state the obvious but we booked in April. There are puddles. There is mud. IT IS SPRING. So if you go in the spring be prepared for a dirty happy dog after your visit. Taylor H.

FAQ about our Nepean 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Nepean 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 18 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
