55Our experience was so great— we will definitely be back soon! There were pool toys available, the pool was perfectly clean, and it was so nice being able to hose off our dog before we left! I couldn’t recommend this spot more, especially if you’re in an apartment like us and can’t find many places to take your dog in the extreme heat!! Thank you, Mai!!Hailey C.

55We were hoping for our pup (mini aussie) to gain confidence in his swimming. The pool was plenty large enough for him to stretch out and do just that. By the time we left (only stayed 45 min because he was tired) he was confident enough to jump in from the sides away from the initial stairs. The area was very clean and well shaded for a 4:30 pm visit. We will be back!LaTisha H.

55So cute and looks just like the pictures! Unfortunately my dog wasn’t a water boy (it was his first time) so we ended up leaving early but I highly recommend! Andrea S.

55This was our first time trying a sniff spot and it was really nice. The turf looked clean, plenty of chairs and lounging spots for humans and dogs, and the pool was perfect for our pup’s first pool experience. Quiet and shady. Lots of space for zoomies. I recommend!Giovanna P.

55This was my first Sniffspot with my dogs and we had a GREAT time! I was nervous because I felt like I was trespassing! Very nice/clean yard and pool! I like it wasn’t a huge yard so I’m able to keep an eye on my kiddos! We will definitely be back!! Tracy A.

55This is such a fun space! There’s a ledge on two sides of the pool for the dogs to rest and take a break. There is a table with shade. Ours loves to get out and jump back in the pool over and over, we leave exhausted! ❤️Andrea A.

55Nice, quiet place with a lovely pool. The turf wasn't too hot even in the afternoon Texas Summer heat and the pool was nice and cool to enjoy. I brought my 2 year old Staffy to have her first time in a pool and get her use to being in the water and eventually short swimming. She absolutely loved the place and got nice and tired out from an hour of playing. I would highly recommend this place. Brad A.

55The pool has a large seating area that was perfect for our dog who is still learning to jump in the water. Definitely be careful with the turf and bring or rent the booties! When we first arrived it was OK to stand on, but by the time we left it was too hot. The space between the panels on the gate were large enough that a small dog could squeeze through. Mandy D.

55What a wonderful sniff spot for our German shepherd. He liked the pool and it was a great way to teach him how to swim. The pool had gradual slope steps that helped our dog enter the pool without fear. The pool was well-maintained and had a nice temperature. The host was very kind, attentive, and responded almost immediately to our questions. Our dog was tired and happy after the visit. We highly recommend this spot for anyone who wants to treat their dog to a swimming adventure or help their dog build confidence in their swimming skills.Olivia L.

55This spot is AMAZING! We took our 5 month old pup here to learn how to swim and we had a great time. Everything was fenced, clean, and my pup adored the pup bed that was out! We will be back again :)Taylor F.

FAQ about our Richardson small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Richardson?
There are 177 small dog parks in the Richardson area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
