55Very nice spot, all the amenities you might want. I'm recovering from surgery and wanted out two fluffs to have a little enrichment time as I can't walk them. Highly recommend. Jeannemarie L.

55Great place to bring your dogs to run around. They offered a lot of supplies to use. Just wished entire area was grass. My dogs came out of there pretty dirty but they definitely enjoyed themselves Mafe R.

55From the humans:
This Sniffspot will forever be our favorite! They accommodate both dogs and humans. It's in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood which makes it so much better. There was a car that passed by us twice, honked to get our attention, and waved to us. Not sure who it was but that simple gesture made me smile and made my day ❤️
From the birthday girl, Luna (brown&white):
This was the best birthday present ever! Nothing makes me happier than being able to run outside. I loved how big area was, the agility course and of course.... the snacks!
From Rex (black&white):
I only get along with Luna and need space from other doggies, so this was the perfect place for me. I got to run around and play so much! I'd give this place an 11/10!Hokulani M.

55The fenced in yard is convenient to park at and get the dogs in to. My wife and I have no issues. The jumps and dog tunnels give more excitement for the puppers, so they can do more than sniff around.Robert M.

55Carlson was very accommodating for my last-minute request to visit. He even made sure to put out water and towels, as the ground was still a little damp from the recent rain. The yard was entirely secure; any gaps under the fence were blocked off with wood or cinderblocks. My dogs saw a few people and dogs walking by; they barked, but due to the structure of the fence, couldn’t see them very well. I wasn’t worried they would get out. The size of the yard was as expected and there were multiple toys out for my dogs to play with. Carlson even has a dog house and dog bed for use on the porch! An added bonus is all the wonderful restaurants and shops in Mystic just down the road that we stopped by after our trip. Lyndsay W.

55A quaint, mostly grassy, well-fenced yard with a bit of a water view, plus several toys (and a few toddler/K-3 type play items too)— it further has a shed and corner patch of pine trees with a path around back for those dogs that seem to like a bit of a place ‘to hide’ or get away (or where they think they’re not seen anyway, lol). We’ll come back. Michelle M.

FAQ about our Groton 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Groton 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 226 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
