55This is my new favorite Sniff Spot in the area. It’s a very large property in a quiet area, so my sound sensitive German Shepherd had a wonderful time here. It’s very well secured and has some cute farm animals in the back and a pond with fish and a turtle. I almost had as much fun as my dog. But a warning for dogs who have high prey drive (chickens & goats from what I saw) or love water because it’s an open pond. There is a pool for use if wanted, I didn’t get to it this time but probably will the next time we visit, the pool is fenced off though so you don’t have to worry about your pup going for a swim in there if not wanted. There are areas with grass but there is a good amount of uneven dirt, though that’s never an issue for me. I love this spot, we will be back! Mathew A.

55Dax and I had a great time in Bri's backyard. He doesn't get many chances to be off-leash as he is still very reactive. He tore around in circles for almost the whole time with a big dog smile on his face.
Dax is not a digger or a chewer, but as far as I can tell even if he were there wouldn't have been any issues. Highly recommend this space! Meghan R.

55The perfect size! Our 52lb husky/staffy mix was exhausted after 2 hrs here. Areas to sniff/explore, room to chase balls, and they provided so much: a bowl, towels, poop bags (although we brought out own) and the kiddie pool would've been a huge hit had we filled it up. It was nice having a table and chairs in the shade too. Will def book again!K. Bevin A.

55This is the biggest backyard we’ve visited yet! Lots of room for our pup to run around and play fetch. Well equipped with water and doggy bags and easy to find. You can see/hear planes but it didn’t bother our pup. Very quiet neighborhood! Thanks for a great visit! Rebecca R.

55Our pups love running around and playing at this spot! Lots of shady spots for them to sit and relax for a bit. There are nice chairs for the humans to sit and chat while the dogs play. Jo Anne leaves out toys and water for the pups too! Awesome spot!Magdaly C.

55Jo Anne provided a lovely, safe and clean space! It was very private. My pup was able to run around and enjoy everything! There was fresh water and toys, plus plants and trees to sniff! Even though we weren’t able to meet due to social distancing, I could still feel Jo Anne’s care and welcoming energy. There were even succulent cuttings offered and chairs to sit and relax for a break between playing. What a wonderful experience and a peaceful garden. I will definitely be recommending sniff spot and Jo Anne’s beautiful yard to my other pup parent friends! Adelaide C.

FAQ about our Acton small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Acton?
There are 190 small dog parks in the Acton area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
