55Excellent place to explore, the dogs loved it! Trails are well marked and lots of little different routes to keep things interesting. You can tell a lot of care has gone into keeping things safe for everyone. The host came out and gave us a greeting and provided us with a map, contact info and friendly reminder to wear bug spray, which is a must for any wooded activity at dusk. We will definitely be back :) Stephanie F.

55Great trails. Pup loved it. We will definitely return. I wasn’t well prepared for the mosquitoes so next time I will bring bug netting and head to toe coverage with bug spray as it’s deep forest and lots of mosquitoes, as expected. Thank you for the lovely walk!Michelle B.

55This was a wonderful experience for our pups and we loved the privacy and exploring potential. We also appreciated the places to sit, as one member of our group has difficulty walking long distances. As mentioned in other reviews, do remember your bug spray - mosquitoes really were a nightmare!Emma G.

55My dog and I had a great time here! Trails were easily labeled, well groomed, and clean! Didn’t hear another sound the entire time! Beautiful place to go for a walk! We will definitely be back! My dog particularly liked the puddles but he was easy to wipe with a towel and there is also an extra available for a “doggy hose off” to hose off your pup before getting in the car which I loved as it let me relax more and let him play in the water all he wanted :) can’t wait to go back! Will be amazing colours in the fall! Karyssa C.

55Great little loop and walking venue in the forest and near a pond. Oreo absolutely loved his sniffari. The owners were so kind and I did forget one of the rules and I did sincerely apologise after as Annie did come to gently and kindly check on us. And I ask other visitors to be respectful of this rule and not forget it as I did. It is that when returning to vehicle, do not hang around at the vehicle and socialize. No lingering please. They have a reactive dog that sees us through the house’s window and hears us on his property and is apparently tearing the window frame apart. So, my apologies again to Annie that we decided to drink our tea and rusks at the vehicle before setting off. We will take our tea on the trail for sure next time. Do bring mozzie spray and do embalm yourselves in it because the moment we stopped, we were swarmed. A great big thank you to the owners for allowing us to use the land for off-leash dog walks. Very grateful. 🐾🐾 Maria D.

55This is our second time visiting and I know we will be regulars going forward. I did find it abit confusing following the map at first but quickly realized if you just look for the blue stripes on the trees it’s very clear where to go. If you don’t see any blue stripes, you probably got off course and you just have to look around to find it and you’ll be ok. I love it here because Archie doesn’t stay on the path but loves to go through the bushes and jump through the forest. A few other sniff spot places he’s come across a lot of burrs as a result which makes clean up after so time consuming. Bu here it’s very minimal maybe a little one here and there and easy to remove so it works well for us. We could easily stay more than an hour, for sure in the future. We took note of the comments from others about mosquitos so we came prepared from that perspective although the second time there was very little. Would 100% recommend. Thank you Mike and Annie for sharing your property!Christine C.

55Mike was there to meet us and give us a quick intro and paper map. Everything was clearly marked and easy to navigate. Our dog is people and dog reactive, so it was super nice to be able to have her safely off leash. We were there an hour and didn't manage to explore everything, we'll be back!Amy V.

FAQ about our Acton 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.
