55Ava and her husband are lovely hosts - gracious and organized. Their yard is well-secured and absolutely PERFECT for pups to run and have fun. Our pup, Dylan, very much enjoyed playing with Angel and Dude. This is the perfect spot for a quick play date or an all-day visit. Thank you for sharing your pup-perfect property with the rest of us!Ken H.

55Ilona set out all of the pool/sunny day necessities and yummy snacks for the pups! She gave clear instructions on how to enter the backyard. This was my girls first pool experience and it was exactly what we needed! We had a blast splashing around and it wore the girls out, thank you for offering your home!Sydney B.

55I’d like to think my pup loves his day-to-day life, but this was just a next level of happiness it made my heart melt to see. Ilona was quick to respond and made for a great, spontaneous visit to this lovely spot! There were plenty of spots to sit / stand that I could see the whole area and feel comfortable with my pup running around, plus lots of spots for him to run in and out of the patio area for unlimited exploring.

55We had such a lovely time at Ilona's dog park. She bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. She had water for the dogs and us and treats for the dogs. There were towels and toys. It is an older property, but the water in the pool was clean and the fencing was intact and kept our dogs safe. Our pups had a great time. The only drawback for us was the distance from our home. We are about 40 minutes away, but for those who are local it is nice access to a pool for your pups.Cindy B.

55Our pups had a great time! The host was very accomodating but gave us complete privacy. Bathroom was available if needed. My dogs had plenty of room to prance and sniff around. My pittie had a blast in the pool , and the host was so understanding when she popped a pool floatie. There was water and treats for the pups and even some drinks for the humans. Such a great time! Thankyou for making our pups night- they are tired happy girls :)Lana Z.

55The spot was everything we hoped! Great atmosphere. The host has a lot of amazing plants. Very nice orchids and more!
Our poodle loves to do what he was bred to do. Water retrieving! This spot was a big hit for him! We got to play in the water together the whole time! He would barely leave the pool to explore the back but there is a nice little run area behind the pool cage if your dog isn’t as enthusiastic about the water! Ilona is a great host and will do her best to provide anything you need for your visit. Dog water etc. Really appreciate the hose in entry/exit area to rinse off gear, pooch and yourself. We will definitely be back again for more fun!
I’m glad he has a water jacket because he has the drive to swim endlessly! Billie W.

Marvin's 4 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Bradenton (Open all day Christmas and New Year's Day!) | Sniffspot
55Visited our first sniff spot yesterday. Absolutely loved Marvin’s spot! My very fearful and reactive dog Winston enjoyed running free, exploring, digging, and playing in all the pastures. It was a very positive experience for him. We brought our own toys but there were plenty of toys available on site. My dog left happy as can be and exhausted. Thank you for sharing your property!! We will definitely be back!!Sierra M.

55The place was perfect for a lure coursing session I set up for my dog. It was fully fenced, spacious, had water and a sunshade.
No distractions observed. The place looked exactly like on the host’s pictures.
Would definitely book it again.Sasha P.

55We drive from Clearwater to come here. Not a lot of great areas to run if you have a reactive dog, so we are grateful for spots like this. Marvin has a huge property, very well kept. It’s split up into different sized lots with very sturdy fencing with very safe gates. You can fill up a kiddie pool if you want and there’s buckets for water that are easily. If you have a reactive/rude dog this is a wonderful set up. Far enough away from other properties where even if the family
dogs are out, it’s too far to really draw attention from your dog. Thanks Marvin!!! Jes K.

FAQ about our Arcadia 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Arcadia area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 134 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
