Description

Come and play in Sammy’s Playground. There’s lots to do. With the entire 0.5-acre backyard fully enclosed by a new and secure chain-link fence (Fall 2022), your pups are free to roam, sniff, fetch and run to their hearts’ delight. And, wow… you are surely going to love watching them go!! Zoom-Zoom. The areas along the perimeter are wooded and make for fun pathways for explorations. The central portion of the yard is sloped and open. This makes for plenty of romping and heavy-duty running- including long throws of a ball or a frisbee. We have a tennis ball thrower. Check out all of the photos and read the accompanying descriptions to get a better idea of how Sammy’s Playground will appeal to you and your furry friends!! And don’t worry about the yard (too much). There’s divots and mounds all around, no manicured lawns when dogs are at play. Go for it guys… Enjoy!! And, the pool cover is elephant and dog proof. The dogs are allowed on the pool cover. It’s our hope that we do our absolute best to provide our Guests with the best experience each time they come over AND that our Guests remain as great as each have been - that we can continue to avoid any reason to raise our hourly rate. SniffSpot suggests we list Sammy’s Playground at $20/hour. We are uncomfortable with doing this, because it goes against the spirit of our objective for Sammy’s Playground in the first place: providing a safe and secure environment for dogs of all kinds to enjoy off-leash “true-dog” experiences with their loving humans. Barking IS allowed. We do welcome donations of dog food, p-pads and medications for the all-dog rescue organization, PAWS New England. PawsNewEngland.com for information about fostering, donating, adopting or other ways to support this amazing group. They save over 1,000 dogs per year. ——- NOTE: to open the gate, simply reach over the top to find the key. Twist/turn the key until it stops. Then, lift the knob on top of the gate and push the gate open… you’re in! The gate automatically closes behind you. Please confirm that it has engaged into the closed position and then turn the key to lock yourself in. DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY. Confirm that you have locked yourself in by seeing the little red dot and not being able to lift the knob. The photos section includes views of the gate, key and lock. MUST: when you leave, lock the gate. Doubly ensure that you have done so by lifting the knob. NOTE: As an “Extra” listed benefit, you may park your vehicle in an area away from the main gate and take advantage of a leisurely stroll down the very-well-kept sidewalks of Park Street and adjoining neighborhoods. We list this as an Extra simply so that we know why we have a car in the driveway, but no humans and dogs in the yard. Selecting this Extra just gives us the heads up. This might be a good way to burn off that last little bit of doggy energy or for some leash training while you’re here. This is time AFTER your booked time of using Sammy’s Playground (not a part of it). We just don’t want you to run off without taking advantage of all the resources available to you for your dog(s).

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

FENCE: The new fence (Fall 2022) is primarily 4 feet tall and chain-link. The gates at the Main and a side entrance are aluminum rods with ~4 inch spacing. This makes Sammy’s Playground not safe for dogs about 15 lbs or less. FENCE: There is no separate fence around the pool. Upon entering Sammy’s Playground, the pool is readily accessible. We provide many sizes of doggie life vests YARD: The yard is for dogs and is not manicured. It is, after all, a yard for dogs. There are divots and small holes throughout the far back to which folks and pooches alike should be careful. DECK: morning dew makes the deck surface quite slippery. DECK: The back of the deck is a big step. SHED: The main wood shed door should be closed. If found open, don’t let your dog(s) enter. There’s fertilizer and other lawn-care products in there. We apologize profusely if that door was left open. GATES: MUST ALWAYS BE CLOSED and LOCKED - It is extremely important that folks pay close and strict attention to ensuring that the mechanisms that keep the gates closed are indeed CLOSED and LOCKED. OFF-SEASON (October to May): POOL IS CLOSED with a cover that can sustain the weight of an elephant AND dogs. The dogs can go onto the pool cover without any issues or concerns. As Spring approaches, the water level rises to sometimes overflowing. Please know that when dogs walk on the pool cover in the Spring, the cover will sink about to the chest height of your dog and your dog will get wet! Every human said dog that it was a great experience for their dog. We provide towels. (Photos are included)

Extras

After Playtime Stroll$0

Select this Extra so that we know why your car is here and you are not. After enjoying a fun-packed time in Sammy’s Playground, why not take advantage of the well-maintained sidewalks along Park Street and the many adjacent neighborhoods? The sidewalk is on our side of the street, set back from the road and is 3’ wide. Don’t forget your poop bags. And, we simply ask that you move your vehicle away from the main gate.

I generally do not meet my guests

Additional rules

Park by Main Gate (in front of the garage door) for easy access. We won’t have a car in the garage. The most significant rule to follow is common sense. But, it is also expected that Guests will be respectful of our land and property, and that of our neighbors,’ and fellow Guests - keep all 4 gates locked at all times, especially when you are in the backyard. Do not enter Sammy’s Playground until you are sure no one is in the backyard, including us and Sammy. Do not remove the key. Make doubly sure that you locked the gate when you leave by pulling the knob up. - toss dog waste into our woods (not over the fence though) using one of the 3 sets of shovels and rakes (preferred to doggy bags) or in the “Poop Bank” bucket - leave the property as you found it (return furniture to original places, put the toys away, hang wet towels, for instance) - do your best to protect the summer furniture, especially the cushions from getting dirty (use any of the towels) - report any damages or concerns. You will find that we are pretty easygoing and don’t get hung up on the little things. It’s more important that we know of a mishap or if something that is broken so that we know it needs to be fixed. Thank you

Joined in February 2024

Hi, we’re Sherri and David… married for 36 years now and still going strong. We raised our two sons here, Justin and Mitch, and have had the pleasure to supplement our family with countless dogs and cats, and even a couple of indoor bunnies and a tortoise. We mostly adopt senior dogs, but this time we fell in love with an adult dog (now 6 years old). He is a big black lab/German Shepherd mix named Sammy (he’s a rescue from Texas, our 5th); hence, we named this Sniffspot “Sammy’s Playground” after him. Sammy’s unpredictable behavioral issues make him a poor candidate for any public playground. It’s for this reason that we created this private playground - so that dogs like Sammy can enjoy a safe and secure place to play, zoom, SWIM and sniff. It’s why we offer the play space for the affordable rate, because we are sensitive to folks having dogs like our Sammy. Thank you for considering Sammy’s Playground - where your dogs will think you’re pawsome! 🐾 *** As an aside, our volunteer work focuses primarily on collecting donations of dog and puppy food of all kinds for PAWS New England, a large, all-dog rescue organization, a 501(c)3. We will happily accept any donations from you on their behalf.

It's become our dogs' special place. When you come into our yard, it feels like home. And we speak Spanish too! Reserve Your Private Dog Park Session Now! www.MadisonDogPark.com
