55We were visiting from out of province and this was the perfect spot for decompression walks. My dog especially loved the marsh and pond. As to be expected in early spring, there was mud in places, so waterproof footwear would be useful. We went twice because it was such a lovely place. Would definitely return. Rachael C.

55This is an amazing property and we really enjoyed our walk today! The trails were lovely and our dog thoroughly enjoyed running around and sniffing. The paths were well maintained and were also well labeled!
Martin is a lovely host and greeted us with a smile! He reviewed the map with us and gave us some information about the current state of the trails.
As an owner of a reactive dog - it was the perfect place for our dog to run around and be free! It was a stress free walk for us, as we didn't have to worry about running into other people or off leash dogs!
We will definitely be back! Paige M.

55Great place with lots of trails. Very well organized too! All trails have names and are well labeled, you get a map upon arriving and there is a garbage at entrance (which many other parks don’t have) and the use of dog toys in a box before starting the trails. Had a great time with our two dogs, thank you! Zoe L.

55This place is amazing!!! My dog had the time of his life running around the trails and was smiling the whole time. He could have happily spent his entire day there. The host was super nice too, provided a map and the area was well labelled which i appreciate because I’m directionally challenged! Will definitely be back :)Dayna E.

55Amazing spot! Trails were very well marked and Martin met us and went through the map with us which was very helpful!
We went on a mild day in January and it was snowy and wet, waterproof boots were definitely needed! I wore rainboots but winter boots would have been better, the water isn't very deep in most places and easy to avoid where it is.
Definitely recommend! Megan B.

55Amazing spot with lots to explore. The weather was not ideal especially with a weather sensitive doggo, but despite that she had a blast exploring and sniffing the deer tracks in the snow.
Martin was extremely friendly and accommodating. He provided a map of the spot and explained areas to be cautious with due to weather conditions and the impact on the trails.
Will definitely be back to explore again! Completely recommend a trip to this spot!Jaquie D.

FAQ about our Waterford 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waterford 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 135 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
