55This was a great space. The area was large enough my dogs could run and explore all they wanted. Clean and well kept. The fence was high and well managed. I felt my dogs were completely safe there!Kelly C.

55This was an absolutely amazing visit for our dog! Kona absolutely loves the outdoors - she loves hiking, swimming, running, camping, etc.! Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a fenced in back yard and within the past year she was attacked by another dog that got loose and has since developed anxiety and subsequently some reactivity. This doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be able to enjoy life to the fullest though! While we have done a lot of work on her anxiety and reactivity, having a private fenced in area just allows Kona the opportunity to really relax and just be a dog!
Honeybee Private Dog Park was gorgeous and was probably one of the best locations I could have picked for our first time trying out SniffSpot! It did not disappoint! The space was a decent size, had both shaded and sunny spots, had a picnic table for owners to chill at if needed/wanted, plenty of open space for Kona to run, big bowls for water, a hose, and kiddie pools for dogs as well! I left the visit smiling so hard my face hurt, all because I was so happy that Kona was so happy! She had so, so much fun!Ceren I.

55The grass was very well kept, which my toy breed dog very much appreciated as she doesn't want to do anything when grass touches her belly. The fence was also in great shape and had no faults in it where she could get out. Both of my dogs had a great time exploring the yard. We will definitely return.Alexa K.

55Ripley & Kain had so much fun that they nearly wore themselves out in the first 20 minutes
They played chase, lounged in the mossy shady parts of the yard, soaked up some sunshine, and smelled ALL the smells they could.
This property was great!
Poo bags and a disposal container are available on site, as well as water bowls, easy access to water, and kiddie pools.
We will definitely be back! Thank you for such a great experience on sniffspots!Hailey B.
