55Excellent instructions but the host for arrival and parking. We enjoyed a quiet visit and I was pleased to see my guy venture out awY from me following various scents...normally he is focused on a ball and proximity to me as his ball tossing buddy. He did great with recall...I'd say I let him get to a about 4 trees before the road before recalling and he did good. Thank you for sharing this lovely spot. He and I were on the move so I didn't get any pics. Margie T.

55this property is so beautiful and fun for my pup. I was slightly worried about the busy road which is not ideal for puppies or any dog that is a runner unless you keep them on a longline but wasn’t an issue for us, we just stayed toward the barn. we were also able to say hi to the horses and explore the property as no campers were there!Sydney W.

55Wonderful grounds for our group of 4 active dogs! They bounced and ran for the better part of an hour. Shade and water were plentiful. Many thanks to host Natalie :)Ann C.

55Just the right size lot for playing Frisbee with my black lab. There is a small shaded area that he used for a few minutes to get out of the sun.John T.

55Great spot! Doggos loved it a lot. Surprisingly, my dogs stayed out of the corner that was up against the chickens.
The traffic was heavy enough to not completely distract my reactive girl. And the fence was in such good condition I had no worries about her breaking through 😁.
Lots of toys too! Although my boy was only interested in the tennis balls. Silly pup.
Will go again for sure!Rachel G.

55Another amazing Time this is our third visit every time it gets better and better… a sign was added for parking and so was a bench and trash can. Shane is awesome to communicate with he lets me know when campers aren’t there and we are able to walk the whole place I love that the location is flat hardly any holes it’s really and ideal location to get your long line out stroll and do some training our pup is reactive so we stay clear of the other animals who are in a fenced area and although it’s near a road little traffic and again our dog is always leashed he can’t be trusted but the location is amazing and will keep coming back for those nice walks Lydia M.

55Quiet and unique spot. If you are looking for a spot that is semi shady and no hills this place is it. My little terrier found an endless number of holes of various sizes in the ground to check for vermin. They must be gone because she did not go crazy digging after anything. In a month or two this place is going to be covered in squirrels and birds to chase. The ground is hard packed dirt and good to walk on. If there is several days of heavy rain, a low rider like a Corgi will definitely get dirty. Other than that unless your dog likes to roll on the ground it’s not an overly dirty spot. My dog has terrible recall so she stayed on leash the entire time. I brought just a long line but it got caught up on branches and twigs on the ground. My bad, I’ve never been to a hazelnut orchard before. I will bring a 20’ retractable leash next time and it should work great. There is a road on one end of the property where the cars go upwards of 35 mph. If your dog chases cars this could be a problem for you. We saw two horses in an adjacent field, if your dog chases horses there is not a fence to keep them separate but the horses didn’t seem to care about us being in their vicinity at all.
Overall this place is quiet, clean and walking up and down the rows is very relaxing. We will come back here often and can’t wait for when the squirrels are out. Donna R.

55Beautiful spot. If those old trees could talk. Lots to sniff. My only issue is dogs should have impeccable recall as there is only one fence toward the road. Mine don’t. Ina G.

55The name says it all ! Very relaxing lovely area … so this place is not for off leash unless you have an amazing recall … with that said this is a perfect place to bust out that long line practice recall, walking stay ect. This location is awesome for training but also a safe spot to walk and sniff I am sure this will be a hot spot as the days start early and end later it would be nice for seating but really who wants to sit w all those lovely rows of trees. Shane was great and responded quickly I will be returning ! Lydia M.

55It was so nice to just walk and relax. The dawg Ollie didn't want to leave. I brought the directions, but forgot the rules. They were friendly about it. Next time I need to bring water for the dog.Susan G.

FAQ About Aurora 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.
