55We had such a wonderful time here. The owners are so welcoming and gracious and the farm is naturally beautiful with lush greenery, beautiful ponds, sitting areas, and walking paths. It was so nice to be able to have somewhere to go that is safe and gives your dogs freedom to explore. My fur babies absolutely loved it! We will be definitely visiting again. Thank you for such a great experience!Rizza B.

55What a lovely hidden gem! We took our 2, 3 year old Aussie pups here today as a birthday treat for them, and it did not disappoint! The property is really lovely and securely fenced, so they were free to run and explore. There were several places for them to swim as well. This was a great opportunity for our female pup to practice recall, as she tends to be a "selective listener" Our hosts were friendly and informative, and we felt very welcome enjoying their beautiful property. We will definitely be back! Rachel B.

55The photos say it ALL! Our 3 puppers had a fantastic time. They ran... and swam... and explored... and ran some more. Tongues out... tails wagging - they had a blast. Our older dog hates to be wet. Even the smell of rain will keep her inside, but she bounded right into Honey Dip and even stretched out in the little stream. 😮 The horses were away when we visited, so I am excited to see how they react to them when we return. We will definitely be back. Hope S.

55Fully fenced, natural area complete with three ponds. Quite a bit of space for your dogs to roam in safety. Remember, this is Florida so it's hot - the bugs weren't to bad but we wore long pants. I would also suggest bug spray.Brian D.

55Dogs had a blast. At first I was terrified about gators, but we kept the dogs out of the water features except the one by the house that owners say they swim in. Even said we could go for a swim too if we wanted. Watching the sunset while ours dogs played was absolutely beautiful. Will be back again. Maggie E.

55Beautiful spot…worthy of painting. Maestro didn’t want to leave! He wouldn’t get in the car even though it had started to rain. I told him we would be back and he reluctantly followed me to the car. Everything far exceeded expectations. I look forward to our next visit! You have really sweet dogs and maestro enjoyed their company. They are welcome to join us on our walks anytime. Katherine L.

FAQ about our West Melbourne 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.
