55My dogs had a great time. There was plenty of room for two large dogs to run at full speed and play. The yard is clean, safe, and secure. They enjoyed getting in and out of the kiddie pool as well. We will definitely be back. Lacey W.

55Perfect spot for my pup to play! Huge, well-kept yard with ample space for playing fetch, well fenced, with a basket of toys and a kiddie pool, if your pup is so inclined. Finding and entering the property was easy and our host was very responsive and kind. 5/5Dee K.

55Super considerate and accommodating. Melissa warned us about the air show going on over her sniff spot and was super flexible about rescheduling. The set up is so spacious, clean and engaging for our Aussie.Tyler t.

55This was a wonderful Sniffspot! It clean, open, and the fence looked very secure. There were a few toys in the yard but it didn’t bother us, and my dog was only interested in sniffing the yard and playing fetch with the ball we had brought. Melissa was super sweet, we had arrived pretty late in our reservation but she allowed us to stay a little late as there was time between us and the next reservation. My partner had lost their phone in the yard while playing with our dog, Melissa was quick to respond and help find our phone! Fantastic and would visit again.Brenda H.

55I probably should’ve paid for the whole hour, my dog didn’t want to leave! It was so big and spacious. Plenty of room to throw the ball. Will be coming back!Terez M.

55Melissa’s Sniffspot was great for our reactive dog - it was fully fenced and secure on all sides and located on a quiet street with plenty of space for our pup to run and play. We’ll definitely be back! Joseph S.

55Nice big open space! There are a few gopher holes like the host mentioned. Some of the big ones are on the couple big mounds but my dogs really just kept to the flat ground mostly! They LOVED running amuck!Nicole M.

55I parked on Birch St as suggested and it was an easy in/out at the gate. The dogs had their noses to the ground immediately to take in all the smells. The yard was clean and mowed. Geordi loved the kiddie pool and Sherman explored every corner! Good mix of sun and shade for warmer days.Ellie A.

55What an amazing place for our dogs to enjoy! A fully fenced yard with two gated entrances. Lush green lawn to romp around and more than enough room for lots of fetch as far as I could throw! There is a gate/ fence that adjoins the neighboring property which has slats that might allow smaller dogs to slip through, so be aware of it. My dogs are all Shepherds and it was no worry for us. The place is so big that this gate/fence piece is easy to avoid if you're worried with very small dogs. The owner was very kind and communicative by message to make sure that their dogs (indoors) looking out at us wasn't a bother (it was no bother for us). But we only saw their one dog briefly peeking out from inside :) This place is a true gem and we'll certainly be back!Lyndsy D.

55We were really just looking for a big yard to throw the ball around and this was perfect. I was expecting it to be muddy but it wasn't. Very nice fenced yard. Thank you!Kasey P.

55We loved the spot. It’s only 15 minutes from where we were on the west side. It was a nice size spot where we were able to use the chuckit and my dog was able to get up a bit of speed. She has lots to sniff and nice shady spots when she wanted to take a break from the ball. I was initially confused about parking and which entrance to use, but the host sent a message while I was trying to find instructions, so that worked out. There was a spot near one of the mounds where my foot fell in a hole, so be forewarned. Other than that, we really enjoyed it. Christine S.

FAQ about our Rockaway 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.
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 Rockaway Beach 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 23 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
