55The dogs had a fantastic time. It was so nice to not have to worry about off lead interlopers.
We did have trouble finding it though even with Google maps. Look for the red brick fence at the entranceAlan B.

55Dogs loved it! Good mix of shade and sunny paddocks. And clusters of trees with the creek too. And good sized clear areas for a whippet to absolutely motor. Entrance is a little confusing for gps. But there is a big brick entry fence with letter boxes at start of shared driveway. That's a good marker. Head along there and once you are down the drive to the sniffspot there appears to be a couple of entry points/gates to the land. One has a kind of frisbee tied to it ! Enjoy Lisa O.

55This place is great! A nice group of small fields with a creek, chairs and some shade. My dog loved it. There were two horses in the next field over separated by a double fence and some vegetation. My GSD either didn't notice or didn't care. We'll for sure be back!Michael K.

55Another visit to this spot, the dogs loved the new little obstacles that have been set up. Great place for summer as the dogs can cool off in the stream and there’s shaded areas too.
Thanks again for hosting us 😊Kelly M.

55I took my furbaby - Orange and his bff - Sasuke. Sasuke is my sister’s furbaby who is highly reactive and super strong, it was the first time we got to see him run free but also choose to stay close to us. Thank you for the amazing space. It was super clean, with plenty of sun and shade for us to watch them from. Host was helpful. Thank you again for making this space what it is, which is a heaven for our furbabies. Will be back for another play soon. To’a T.

55Beautiful spot! We visited recently with my parents and their dogs. Heaps and heaps of space, and multiple spots for them to play in the creek. Was very private and we had no issues with any fences. There were two horses in an adjacent paddock at the back who came over to say hi, completely unfazed by the dogs. It is a bit hard to find if you haven’t looked at all the photos with directions - so do that first coz they really help!Grace L.

55Such a cool place for the dogs to run around & explore! Our two dogs loved it so much. I think its such a great way to tire out the dogs without having to worry about the stresses of a public dog park etc. Kelsey S.

55We have visited a few times now with our 2 Rottweilers, Parker and Kadan and also with their friends, Frankie and Gertrude. It's heartwarming to see them running around like crazy and in and out of the creek. The grass is kept short so we worry less about grass seeds. This is a great spot!Mary W.

55This was a lovely location with lots of space, water and trees for the kids and adults to hang out under while our 2 dogs explored and had a fantastic time chasing each other. I have a dog that can sometimes be reactive so going to a normal dog park is a we bit stressful (actually very stressful) for me. Today I got to completely relax and enjoy watching our pup have so much fun and really let her whippet side of her sprint as fast as she could- pure joy for me to see. I highly recommend this sniff spot.
Thank you Shelley for sharing your space with us.

55Amazing spot ! A lot of space to run your dog, a little water stream for hot summer time. We even had taught toys in a basket to play with ! Being able to have a happy dog off leash in a safe area is the best feeling, thank you ! We need more spot like this. Morgane B.

FAQ about our Auckland dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
