55We had a wonderful time at Rachel's! The yard is big, there are plenty of little nooks to sniff, and there weren't any areas that I was worried or concerned about (holes in fence, objects to get caught on, etc).Ashley A.

55My young apartment dog was over the moon to have a place to run zoomies, and the area was cool and shaded enough for my old dog to chill in the grass and roll a bit. The fence was secure enough all around for my 11-pound chi mix. I'm so glad Sniffspot finally revealed you! Gillian S.

55My pup and I had a great visit! The yard is a perfect size for getting the zoomies out and exploring. It was so nice to have tables and chairs available for humans too. We will definitely be back! Cheryl C.

55Margo had a blast sniffing and zooming around. There were lots of places for me to sit, good shade, and many things for her to smell. Not too much view into other yards for her to bark at neighbor dogs (though I don't think any were out when we were there). My only complaint is that there was a tree that dropped lots of berries right outside the gate and now I have to clean my shoes 😅Taylre-Gene G.

55The school year is back is session, so once again we're visiting to let the pups burn off energy to offset boring days for my girls. Both my old dog who only putters and the hunting, dashing, zooming young dog love this place! Lots of shade, sniffing areas, and open spaces large enough for almost any dog to get some good zoomies in.Gillian S.

55The host was flexible with the booking change bc of last minute rain. The pups loved the yard! They played their hearts out. The yard was a perfect size— big enough for them to get exercise but not too overwhelming which was helpful in keeping track of the pups. The host was also lovely and helped with dispensing the waste. My pups would love to visit again!RM A.

FAQ about our Riverdale Park 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.
