55We had so much fun here! Plenty of space for the pups to run around and explore. We loved all the toy choices scattered around the yard. Nice shady spots to cool down and plenty of open space to play fetch.
There are some neighbor dogs that ran along one side of the fence barking if we got too close, so just something to keep in mind if you have a reactive dog. Maddie S.

55It was a great and safe place for my two dogs to run and play. One is quite reactive to people so it was awesome to see him off leash and having so much fun!Andrea P.

55Beautiful property. Tons of fun! A fenced in wooded area with small trails? Sign us up! We had an absolute blast exploring and playing some recall games, unfortunately I didn’t get many photos but Gideon loved everything about the place, including the fact that while a water bowl was provided, the water spigot also had a “self serve” option as you can see 😅. We would absolutely love to return! One of the best spots we’ve sniffed so far! Brianna M.

55If your dogs enjoy exploring, like mine, this is the sniff spot you are looking for! Great place for hide and seek too! My boys had a blast. They had a sheltered life before adoption and love to run free and explore the world, and they got to do that here. This spot was clean, well maintained, and huge! Definitely will be back. Dawn M.

55As has been the case for every visit, this spot is a great find. Easy access (tight parking sometimes) and a wonderful spot for the dogs to play, with a large open area and a walking path in the woods. Been here many times, looking forward to more in the future.Matt C.

FAQ about our Norfolk 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Norfolk 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 429 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 35 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.
