55My dog absolutely loves to run around off leash. This 20 acre wooded trail is the perfect spot for us. It is mostly secluded from other animals and covered by trees. Just make sure your dog has a good recall! Haris K.

55My dog loved being able to run freely around the trail and explore! There are arrows on the trees to help guide you along the path. We will definitely be back!Hanna B.

55Our experience on the large wooded trail was simply fantastic! Surrounded by the beauty of nature, we enjoyed an amazing morning. The trail is calm and well maintained, with lots of signs to guide you. There's A LOT of open spaces where our furry friends could run, sniff, play… Trees, stream, everything invited them to explore and have fun. It was an absolute delight to have the trail entirely to ourselves for one hour, free from concerns about other dogs intruding or people being bothered by their noise. Leo and Luna came home tired but radiating pure joy. We will definitely come back!Monica M.

55Great space in the woods. Clean and well kept. This is especially a good spot for dogs who like to adventure off trail. There are a bunch of trails through the woods but you get a lot more use of the space if they head off trail. We even saw a little fawn!! So cute. Rachel G.

55We've become regulars at this fantastic spot! There's a lovely stream, a small pond, and the trails are always impeccably maintained. The recent addition of a big digging pile is the best yet! Our energetic Golden Retrievers come home happy and tired, sleeping all afternoon. Highly recommended!Monica M.

55The pasture is huge! Yes it’s partially fenced but it’s so big and if you keep your dogs entertained they don’t even go near the fence that’s how big it is! We had a wonderful time and the space was clean and hilly so the dogs ran out their entertained very quickly!!!!
We will definitely be back! Alexandra B.

55My 2 dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The owner Tammy was lovely and welcoming. A solid recall for your dog is an absolute must here…both small and large dogs can easily slip under or step over the lowest board of the horse fence that runs the perimeter of the enclosure. The neighbour’s horses just across the road are friendly and curious, and they came right to their fence to check us out each time we passed by, so this may be a consideration if your dog is timid or boisterous around large animals. There is also a fairly busy road running along the fence at the far end of the property. As to be expected (considering the area doubles as a horse paddock) the odd “road apple”could be found on the ground so a “leave it” command couldn’t hurt if your dog is a roller or a snacker! If you’re confident in your dog’s listening skills, you will be treated to a huge grassy field to play in surrounded by stunning, peaceful scenery. If you can time a booking properly, very easy accesses to the 401 would also make this a dynamite spot for travellers who want a place to let kids and dogs burn off some steam during a road trip. We will be back for sure!Corry R.

55It’s a very nice 5 acre horse pasture. As others have mentioned, it is partially fenced in. As long as your dog is not an escape artist and have a solid recall, they should be fine! We’ll be back soon :) Haris K.

55We had a great time with our boys, a wide open fenced field is a great place for a little ball toss. (Not great if your dogs are runners.) Beautiful country atmosphere is so good for all our souls. Thank you Tammy and hubby for opening up your property for us to share. We got a sneak peak of the trail in the bush!, we’re very excited to come back to explore it again. Oh and they offer a variety of classes, .. bonus. ❤️ Tracey P.

55Great spot for my dogs! Very easy to find. Fencing is secure with large dogs, but a good recall is needed if you have small dogs or dogs who like to escape. I will be back again. Emily M.

55This spot was very large with a lot of room to run around. There was some loud barking from the building behind the parking spot, so keep that in mind if your dog is sensitive. The fencing had wide enough gaps for a small or medium dog to escape - my dogs have good recall, so not an issue for us, but if you’re relying on the gate to keep your dogs in, perhaps bring a long line. Overall a very good experience! Tess M.

FAQ about our Dorchester 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.
