55Here’s a beautifully maintained park just for you and your little fur babies it has secure fencing for all dog sizes. They provide a couple of toys but you can still bring your own. They even provide poop bags and a trash can so you can clean up after your little critter.Neil F.

55We absolutely loved The Patch. It was a perfect pit stop on our way out of town. Space is exactly as described. Derek was amazing in communicating access points and water that we needed to bring. The park was spacious with lots of amenities for every style of dog. Riley enjoyed romping around, sniffing every single post and I was able to sit on the bench to watch her explore 😁. Highly recommend!Rachel O.

55This spot was perfect to let my cane corso run around. The spot was very clean and was in a beautiful location to watch the sunrise with our pup. We can’t wait to go back. Melissa J.

55It was a nice location. It was easy to find and enter the property. There was lots of room to run and play. The only downside was there was not much shade. We will be back! Jeanne C.

FAQ about our Byron 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Byron 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 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 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.
