55First time here with our dog and our dogs best friend. Brought my 9 month old daughter and sat in the shade with her while the dogs ran and played in the water/mud! Great spot and will be back again for sure! As you can see from the photo they are pooped!Taylor H.

55This was a wonderful place for our two dogs to romp around. There’s a large yard great for playing catch, and there is a gate which leads to an amazing wooded area with several trails winding about. They enjoy their selves fully. There’s fresh water available. I would highly recommend for a wonderful off leash experience.

55Great communication, nice location with lots to explore. The dogs enjoyed their time and tuckered themselves out before the hour ended. We appreciate the water and bowl left out as well as the towels though we didn't end up using them it was still a thoughtful touch.Barb L.

55My dogs had a BLAST here. I have a reactive dog, and it was so nice for him to be able to run and play and go for a walk in the woods like a normal dog and I could relax and not worry about his anxiety (and mine). He had a smile on his face the whole time as you can see in the pictures. My Chihuahua was fascinated with the chickens which was hilarious. We had a fun time and will be returning often. Thank you for sharing your refuge.Rhonda M.

55This was a great spot and the perfect size for our two dogs to get a good run and also do some exploring in the woods. The fencing was great and I love that you drive in and then close the gate so even the front is secure. It wasn’t very muddy at all, but Valeria still left out some towels and the hose in case we needed to rinse the dogs off before getting back in the car. We will definitely visit this spot again!

55My two huskies had any wonderful time exploring the woods and saying hi to the chickens and ducks! The host was also super considerate and provided us with towels to dry off and detailed instructions on how to get there! Thank you so much! We'll definitely be back!!Ola W.

55The space was great and Valerie was an excellent host! Having multiple fenced areas with different environments (grass vs woods) really helped as I teach my foster puppy recall. The hose was especially helpful for cleanup after. There's even a place board if you're working on training goals. Couldn't recommend this space highly enough! Elizabeth M.

55This was our first sniff spot adventure and honestly it couldn’t have been better! From the easy booking to the welcoming email with instructions the morning of our visit to the actual property itself it was everything we could ask for.
Well secured yard and separate trails that the dogs loved. Clean fresh water left out for them. A screened in area with chairs for the humans to rest if so inclined. And a splash pad set up and going to cool off.
Definitely will go again. HEATHER S.

55My two dogs loved romping around the shaded woods on a hot sunny day. We had thought to bring bug spray but they had some out for guests which was a very nice touch. 👍 Sarah L.

55This is a lovely location and my dog had a blast. She loved exploring the trails through the woods and there was also plenty of room to play fetch. Just be prepared to deal with a lot of mosquitoes and deer fly at the moment! Rebecca T.

FAQ about our Merrickville-Wolford 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 Merrickville-Wolford 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 79 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
