55Such a beautiful spot! Nice big open fields. Although not full fenced in its large enough to not really notice. Although I wouldn't quickly recommend it for dogs that are "runners" if you have good recall it shouldn't be an issue. Can't wait to see this spot through the different seasons. I'd recommend somewhere to leave poop bags though! We'll be back! Hayley B.

55Great spot! Huge field my dog loved exploring and running around. Not fully fenced but not an issue as the space is so big. We’ll be back again. Brenda W.

55Great spot! Huge open spaces for my pup to run and play. We stuck to the edges of the various fields and forged our own path at times. Loved it. We will definitely be back. Stephanie J.

55Great spot! So much space! The lack of fencing should not be an issue for most dogs. Perfect spot if your dog loves to chase a ball. Will be back!Katie A.

55We had an awesome visit at this park ! It is very big and we got to have lots of off leash time. If your dog is not reliable, a long leash will be awesome as this spot provides lots of space and smells. This spot is full of burrs, I am unsure about visits during summer and fall as they are pretty intense in some areas.Maëva L.

55At first I was not sure about the spot being there is no secure fencing, however for me there were enough natural barriers and older fencing to feel comfortable. This spot is full of natural enrichment for dogs- no frills but my dog loved running through the fields and puddles. There is a little flattened pathway al the way to the hydro lines. I didn’t go beyond that because I couldnt see a trail through the bush. Parking is easy to find and everything is as is described. Thanks for hosting! Mary H.

55Updating my review as the spot has a few differences when it’s spring:
There is much more grass now- it’s long so ticks may be a concern.
Not really groomed so wear appropriate clothing.
The water / creek is still there but the grass is growing over it- be careful as the water can still be a bit deeper than it looks.
There are a lot of bugs when I went, should bring bug spray.
Saw a couple of wild turkeys as we entered, they flew off as soon as they heard my voice.
I still love the spot as it provides a lot of natural enrichment for dogs, but these are a few things to keep in mind. Mary H.

55Nice space for dogs to run and explore
Grass is deep, with small critters
(my dog loved hunting them, though unsuccessfully)
No signs, but it’s very clear where to go
We will be back 👍Tanja T.

55Fantastic place for my dogs to stretch their legs. It’s well worth the drive from Kanata. So large, and so many places for them to sniff and explore. One dog is a 3 legged rescue and the other is blind and yet the peppery is so well laid out there were no issues. You won’t find a better place for your dog(s). Dean C.

55Such a wonderful spot! The yard is secure, clean, spacious and the owner has gone out of her way to add so many extras for both the doggos and the humans to make it a great experience - toys, agility equipment, seating etc. I only wish I lived closer, we’d be there daily 😃Michelle C.

55So happy to see the snow melting slowly and grasses poking out with lots of smells to sniff, which my dog loves! And of course the huge yard with so much space to run and the toys! The red ball is Thibbs’ favourite! Heather is very responsive and accommodating. So happy to have found this spot. We love coming here.Andrea B.

55Excellent, welcoming host! There were chocolate Easter eggs secured in a mason jar for the people. 🍫🥚🐇
In addition to a large variety of dog toys, there was a lot of agility equipment! My dog liked the jumps. There was also a jug of water for the dogs & a dog bowl!
The ground was dry & firm, even in low lying areas. It was wonderful for the dogs to sniff, run, explore & enjoy the country!Margaret Mary C.

55Our first time back this year - we missed it so much!! And now there is a sand pit! Love it always but especially now that Fig is taking agility lessons and we can goof around on the equipment. Plus Heather was kind enough to put out some pylons for extra practice ♥️♥️. Such a great spot!! Susan W.

55This is by far the best day my dog has had in months, thanks to this farm! This gave him an opportunity to run, play and be free. He has been missing this terribly and is really playing a toll on his overall health. I highly recommend this spot! There are paths, toys and water for the dogs. This is a true kind hearted animal lover at this spot. Thank you for this opportunity, we will definitely be back!Glenna M.

FAQ about our Goulbourn 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Goulbourn 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 76 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 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.
