55This is a great spot! The yard is beautiful and very clean. Candy enjoyed sniffing around the whole yard. It's a great yard to play fetch and also to just sit and relax with your dog. I found opening and closing the gate to be a little confusing, but that could be just me, LOL! Thank you Eric! Carrie J.

55This was our first time, and we will definitely be back! The host was very responsive and allayed my fears about my reactive dog. The yard was extremely well-kept, and had a lot of interesting places for my dogs to sniff and explore. Angela Y.

55This is our first time using this app Sniffspot and will say I was very pleased. Its a bit strange going to someone's home (stranger) and utilizing the backyard, but after 10 minutes or so it was very comfortable and my dog got use to the space as well (after sniffing every inch out!). The backyard was as pictured, alot of space, high fences and the enterance has a lockas well (gate). There was a garbage can on porch as well to throw away waste which was nice so did not have to travel with it in car back home (well, I hope that is what it was for!) Quiet neighborhood on a cal de sac which was nice, easy parking (driveway). I did manage to throw ball to hard as the ground was hard and bounced in neighbors yard, so it was a bit strange knocking on their door, but he was cool and threw ball back over fence. This was on me, no fault of yard and / or my dog. We had a great time, great visit, and will book again. Thank you for allowing us the time! Christion B.

55Nice private spot for my pups to run around. No issues with dogs/people. I did find several cigarettes on the ground that could have easily been swallowed up. Thankfully my dogs were having a blast but could be an issue in the future. Overall really enjoyed my time and my dogs enjoyed the snow. Miranda J.

55A beautiful backyard with plenty of good sniffs for my dog to enjoy. He enjoyed checking out the deck, patio, shed, big tree, plantings, and playing a game of fetch with his favorite bouncy ball. We did see the neighbor’s dog through the slats along the back fence, but it wasn’t an issue for either dog. Both very chill about sniffing through the fence, and then I engaged my dog with other things.Michelle L.

55Had a great time with my 2 medium/large dogs (45 & 60lbs). They had room to run around, fetch, and lots to explore. Brought my own water bowl which was very helpful since it’s starting to warm up. Yard was clean and exactly as pictured. Thank you so much! lawren w.

55Amazing backyard spot for my 2 dogs and for me and my fiancé! There were so many spots for my dogs to sniff and they had so much room to run around. there was also a wonderful outdoor couch and a fire pit to keep the humans cosy while the dogs played. Could not recommend more. I cannot wait to come back! Joanne V.

Beth Ann's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Cranston | Sniffspot
55What a beautiful spot! It felt even bigger than 0.5 acre because there was such a great variety of spaces for our dog to explore and sniff, as well as different spots for people, including a nice shaded bench next to the koi pond, where you can sit and hear the calming sound of running water. There was plenty of room for our dog to really stretch his legs and run, and everything was lovely and clean. Fencing looked very secure. The yard has a really nice private feel to it (tall stone wall at the back) and I didn't see or hear the human neighbors at all (visit was mid-day on a Saturday).
Just to be aware if your dog is very dog-reactive, during our visit there was a barky dog on one side of the yard (behind a five foot chain link fence), and one at a higher level at the back of the yard, The one on the side was only there for a few minutes at the beginning, and the yard is so big that our dog only spent a few minutes now and then barking at the one in the back. It wasn't a problem for us.
Host was kind and welcoming, though we didn't meet her -- she put out water and toys for everyone.
Wish I'd taken more pictures today, as the yard is bigger and more varied than it looks in the two I've uploaded.
This one checks all the boxes for us. We had a great time and will be back!Lynn C.

55Really wonderful landscaping that creates a variety of grassy play areas. The neighbor’s German shepherd will ‘greet’ you thru the chain link fence but he’s all bluster. Definitely would have been an issue if I’d brought my reactive dog - the host made me aware (thank you) so I only brought my socialized buddy. Truly an enchanting landscape Eileen B.

FAQ about our Cranston 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.
