55This place is fantastic! There are plenty of places for dogs to run around and explore. It's comfortable for both humans and dogs. Our dog is from Update Maine, and I think it brought her back to when she lived on a farm, which you don't get a lot of living so close to Boston! Sara F.

55Its exactly as she describes. A small yard surrounded by a large open space. (No access to surrounding open space). Felt secure. Clean, neat. Some lawn chair seating. Quiet area. Some dog toys. Mostly a grassy yard. My dogs enjoyed it very much. Mary D.

55We pretty much go to Alicia’s every week now—the yard is perfect, our dog loves to run around and play with the toys, and we have always felt at ease and secure that our reactive girl will have a stress-free time! Can’t recommend highly enough.Emily D.

55The yard was great, my dog had a blast running around! Nice chairs for the humans to sit in as well. The mosquitos came out at dusk so don’t forget bug spray. Sarah B.

55It was great! We have a 6 month old German Shorthaired Pointer with tons of energy! Great clean, yard to let him run! We kept him on our 20 ft long leash just in case but definitely felt comfortable there! No openings in the fence and no other dogs or people nearby! Abigail C.

55Excellent space, will book again. A huge thank you to the host, Alicia, for sharing her space! The fence is as tall as advertised and sturdy with no gaps. Two notes for future guests. First, there are several neighbors whose adjacent properties are not fenced. If your dog is sensitive to emotional or hyper children, ensure your pet is under control as most motivated dogs could likely hop the fence. Second, if your dog is prey motivated, I also recommend a quick perimeter check.Sager G.

55Great spot!
Easy parking, easy to find, I’ve been twice in the last month with a new puppy and I’ll certainly be going again!
I walked the perimeter, and didn’t see any issues with the fence, though when I go it’s usually for a playtime between two dogs and they are focused inside!
Both trips I didn’t notice any waste or mess!Adam W.

55This is a lovely neighborhood garden with plenty of room for playing and training without distractions. Easy to find and good parking. Suitable for dogs who are not high jumpers. Sue S.

55Nice and private spot! Our dogs were able to play in an open space, and I’d even come back for some outside recall training with my dog as there are very little distractions (outside of smells from other dogs :) )Neda M.

55Nice size yard, had some toys to play with. My dog was in heaven. Only feedback would be that there were loads of tree branches that she kept chewing on that I had to take away. I’m guessing this is just a seasonal issue since other photos and reviews don’t seem to mention tons of branches. Regardless, I would definitely go again my dog had a blast running around.Fannie P.

55A great spot for an anxious dog to run around, play fetch, and explore by himself. The yard was spacious and fenced well enough for our shepherd. We’ll definitely be back!Sarah B.

55It's a beautiful backyard. Lots of open grassy space. There are 2-3 rabbit holes towards the back fence, which our prey-driven dog was very interested in. If your dog gets thirsty, I recommend bringing your own bowl and water. Otherwise, the space is beautiful and pleasant, and our dog left very happy. Frances P.

55Fully-fenced, clean, quiet, and super friendly owner. Our little dog sniffed to her heart's content and there are plenty of seats for humans. Would definitely come back!Alexandra C.

FAQ about our Cambridge 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Cambridge 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 233 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 30 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.
