55This place was very easy to find and not too far from civilization, lol. Abe, the owner was very helpful, he was out of town but promptly messaged me when I asked about the layout of the property. My two mini-Aussies had a lot of fun and were exhausted after nearly 2 hours walking and running around this property. Lots of doggie interest there. The layout is easy since it’s basically a square but includes a strip on one side where there’s a path to walk along a great canal that is fenced so no danger of falling in. The pond up front had a flock of geese that my pups chased but of course gave up when they all flew off. My only concern would be summertime stickers if weeds grow and are not mowed. We were there on a sunny day when the ground was still soft and the weeds down for the most part, and my pups still had lots of little stickers they got but only from where they explored off the side of the canal path. It took me about 30 minutes to brush them out when I got home, but it wasn’t enough of a problem that I wouldn’t return to this spot. Dogs with short hair shouldn’t have as much of a problem.Debra M.

55Jake had a great time at this Sniffspot! Even though it’s January, he spent a lot of time in the pond! so much space to run around. Because it’s a new Sniffspot, there wasn’t signage, but I’m sure that’s in the works.
The road leading to the property isn’t busy at all, but it is unfenced along the road. Bring a long line if your dog hasn’t mastered recall. There is lots to see and smell – we will go back again soon!Peggie H.

55Fun spot! Be prepared for messy dogs and muddy shoes! But that’s the fun of Sniffspot :) my dog loved this spot and it really gave me lots of practice with his recall and I was able to hike around the spots with him and he loved swimming in the lake. Spot is not fully fenced in by you can really distance yourself from the road and it’s not a busy street!Madisyn S.

55We brought our two puppies here for some off leash safe play time. They had a blast! The space has a lot of nice shading and plenty of running space. There was water, some toys and fun agility equipment that we enjoyed with the dogs. Fencing was great and the host is wonderful! Sarah C.

55We loved Nanci's property! The parking was clearly marked with a cute sign. The yard felt very secure and we didn't see or hear any other dogs while we were there. Our dogs were SO happy. They loved the agility course and the tennis balls and chuck-it that were provided. There was a dog poo pick-up bucket and shovel provided. Good mix of shade and sun. Just the ideal sniff spot for our dogs and we can't wait to come back. Thank you for sharing it with us!Lisa C.

55We had a great time. We didn’t need the whole hour because my pup is older and poops out quickly, but he had the best time running, sniffing and peeing on things. We will be back for sure. Heather M.

FAQ about our Newcastle 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 Newcastle 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 126 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 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.
