55Such a beautiful backyard! Lots of space to run and play. My boy is pretty lazy and doesn’t like to play with toys outside🙃 but he had a blast getting to smell all of the smells. Super hot day so he throughly enjoyed the kiddie pool! The host offered everything you can think of for my fur baby; waste bags, a trash can, toys of ALL kinds, a water bowl, and a kiddie pool. Very nice shaded area for me to sit as well. Beyond thankful to have found them. I have one tired pup. 😊Charli B.

55Pennys place was the perfect spot for our girl to run free. The spacious yard, made us pup parents so happy to see her just be a dog! There was clear communication and easy directions, followed by a TON of chewy balls to play fetch! There were some puppers next door but I assure you the gate is secure and there was plenty of space to play instead of bark. We will love to book for our girl in the future!Priscilla D.

55Spot was very nice, clean and had a whole lot of balls for the doggies to play with. I’ve never seen my dog run so much and so fast as she was here. My dog doesn’t get to run since she is a runner and having a nice spot for her to run with a fenced yard was so nice. Will be returning againChristopher K.

FAQ about our Mathews 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.

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 Mathews 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 164 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
