55My dogs loved running through the open field and cooling their paws off in the creek. I enjoyed the diversity of environments and felt like we were deep in a secluded forest. We even heard a barred owl! Jorge O.

55Beautiful land :) Pups had a great time running and exploring. The property is unfenced but if you’re pups tend to stay near you it shouldn’t be an issue! Our pups don’t tend to venture far from us so it was awesome! We put a blanket on the ground as the pups explored! It was so quiet and peaceful! Definitely recommend! Sophia S.

55Nice mixture of open space and trail areas to explore. Check for ticks after. I wasn't too sure where to park but just pulled off the road near the white fence and parked there. Jenny H.

55This was such a lovely experience. We came from Downtown Orlando to try and get some fresh air and a place to get out of the city vibe. From the start, Susan was communicative and helpful in answering my questions. Upon arrival, there was gorgeous open space, and a clear direction towards the woods. It was a perfect mix of defined trail and room to explore. The spaciousness made it easy to just relax and let my dog be a dog with all the running and sniffing. There were thoughtful touches including several boxes that had water and toys for the doggo. Even the ability to just pick a field and be un disturbed while we had a picnic lunch was great. Good mix of options for open play and fun adventuring in the woods. The weather was perfectly cool when we went, but I imagine you would want bug spray as backup if you go in the warmer months. Overall, 10 out if 10 experience and very grateful for being able to come enjoy the property.Libby A.

55Beautiful spot with large, wide open spaces. No fence, but it's not really necessary with the size of the area unless your dog is an extreme wanderer.Gary H.

55This spot was perfect! We parked all the way in the back of the property and our dog had a great time running around the forest and playing fetch in the big open field. We really appreciated the toys too. We’ll definitely be back! Emily D.

55We had a wonderful time here. Lots of different types of habitat to explore and also a great location for a picnic or nap with your pups. Would recommend for pups with good recall or who can check in with their owner regularly while exploring. It was perfect for us!Laura F.

55This is a great spot, we will definitely come back again!! My dogs had a blast running full speed around the very large property and exploring! The fencing all seemed very secure, the gates all had additional wire fencing added over any large areas between the bars. There were some small gaps under the gates that small dogs might be able to fit but it wasn’t a problem for my medium sized dogs. The property is about half open grassy field and half shady oak trees which was great when the pups got tired and wanted to rest in the shade. There were a few agility jumps also so that was a fun game for them to practice as well! Peggy R.

55I've spent a long time looking for a safe and legal place where my dogs can have some off leash freedom in non-training environment. I have finally found that place. The field is a nice mix of shade and sun. There is a bench in the shaded area that would be a good place to have a picnic. And there is even a clean porta potty for the human!! We will definitely be back.Lori K.

FAQ about our Alachua 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.
