55Wonderful! Such a beautiful space with thoughtful touches with a welcome station and map, also included water, extra treats, bags, toys, etc. Easy to get to from DC, right off 50. Loved trying the agility course and getting to be near nature. There were horses next door and a few deer outside the fence line. Our girl enjoyed chasing sticks and we enjoyed there were places for us to sit. Hope to come back soon!Rebecca G.

55Still my favorite spot to take my reactive dog. He is people- and dog- reactive; while we didn't hear any dogs while we were there, we did here some people (the yard backs up to a commercial alleyway). Just a warning if your dog is super-sensitive to people talking. Also, remember to wear/bring bug spray! We forgot and I got quite a few bites (but I'm a mosquito magnet, so I should've known better). Thanks for having us over, Odie loves it there!Shannon H.

55This was our first time trying sniff spot and it did not disappoint! Everything was just as described in the host listing and my dog absolutely loved it. The fencing was high and secure- reassuring for me! Beautiful yard with plenty of space for a larger dog to play and explore. Loved that water and tennis balls were included! Will definitely be booking this spot again!Jean S.

55Fantastic spot! This was my first time using Sniffspot, and it’s so convenient and reasonably priced. This spot had at least a dozen tennis balls, sticks to chew on, and 2 overflowing bowls of water. My dog was very happy to sniff and run about. I will definitely be visiting again.Katie M.

55We will definitely be coming back! We live in the area and recently adopted a very nervous/reactive dog. We love that we will be able to bring him here to play safely without having to worry about things getting too overwhelming for him. Note for those with nervous dogs: there are sometimes people/cars audible from the yard, but nothing too loud. Our dog was able to refocus quickly and never got too worried. He had so much fun! And the water bowls were filled with fresh water, which we really appreciated. Thank you!!Shannon H.

55Frank had so much fun sniffing the leaves and running around this perfect sized yard. She also appreciated that there was a huge bowl of tennis balls and two dog bowls full of water. Us humans loved the the chairs and patio. Frankie did try to climb under the shed once, but I think that says way more about our crazy dog than the shed. Margaret S.

55Another perfect experience here! We came around 6p so it was already dark, but the lights gave our pup the chance to run around. Roxann put out two bowls of fresh water for our birthday guy and as always, a ton of tennis balls!
It's a great spot to escape from the city!David P.

55A really nice private play space for dogs, beautifully kept with a pot full of tennis balls and filled water bowls thoughtfully placed for them to rehydrate too. For reactive dogs, there is sometimes activity in the alley behind the back fence, but not more than a momentary distraction. Anna H.

FAQ about our North Beach 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.

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 325 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
