Nerissa's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Chico | Sniffspot
55My springer spaniel and I enjoyed this place. The dog park area is fully fenced, with trees and a mix of grass and scrub well over 100 x 50 ft. Plenty of space for several dogs to run flat out and play hard. (So the acre - 43,560 sq.ft. - in the listing seems to be the size of the lot, but the dog park part is probably 6,000 - 8,000 sq.ft. which was a really nice size).
We’ll definitely be back soon, hopefully with pals.Murray L.

55Property has long stretch of grass for dogs to run through, sitting areas, shade and a big beautiful tree right in the middle. Property owner was very kind and generous and understood that our dog is slow to get comfortable around new people :) Easy access side entrance, and no other visible animalsMikayla S.

FAQ About Chico 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.
