55As someone living in an apartment, I was in a need of some place free of distractions where I can do some off-leash obedience training with my pup. Sheila's backyard was exactly what I was looking for and, as a bonus, is quite close to my place (:Ksenia B.

55Lovely and green private yard, with secure fencing. I needed a small offleash area for a research project and this worked perfectly. The dogs enjoyed the play time as well! Nancy F.

55Backyard was just the right size for us to get some running and training in without having to worry about other dogs and new distractions. It's nicely enclosed with some shady areas on the hot day. Sheila said a quick hello and offered water and was a wonderful host. Will be using the yard again on an ongoing basis as long as she will have us. Aga W.

55Space is exactly as described. It was a perfect spot for my small dog (@hellolucydog on Insta) and her little doggy friend Soady to run and play. There was even seating for the four humans which was really nice. The space is very secure. Katrina M.

55A lovely well-maintained space with green freshly mowed grass and pretty shrubs/trees for privacy. Easy parking on a quiet street. Great for those of us with a small (or no) yard to play with our pup. My 4-month old border collie mix had a blast sniffing, playing frisbee and getting used to a long lead. A beautiful grey cat kept an eye on us at the window from inside! We look forward to visiting this spot again.Nadia H.

55No issues communicating with the host.
Our shih tzu and great pyr mix enjoyed their first sniffspot! Great space for small and large breeds. The neighbourhood was quiet with no distractions (traffic, car sounds, city noise and other dogs).
Our pyr rarely goes off leash, so we made the most out of the experience. Got to train and play freely. There are also shaded areas for the dogs to cool down and take water breaks. We’ll definitely come back as it’s the closest sniff spot in our area.
You know they had a great time when they’re sleeping like babies soon as we got home.
Thanks Jessica!Von V.

55Absolutely loved this dog park! It was only a half hour drive from the North York. Getting here was easy and we were greeted by Alexandra to show us how to unlock the gate. We arrived when it was already dark at 6pm but the snow helped the park look brighter. There’s a treehouse, swing, seesaw and more on the park. My husky loved every moment and ran around the entire park. He fell asleep on the car ride back lol. We would love to come back again :)Linda N.

55The space was big and fully fenced which my dog enjoyed! She was able to run around, sniff and eat all the sticks without feeling scared or stressed by people or other dogs. She even spotted a squirrel which was her cherry on top. I would definitely take my dog here again to get her energy out.Abira S.

55It was a great experience. The dog park was fully fenced and private. I went with two dogs. Both dogs had so much space to sniff, play and have a blast. Thank you Sandy for the great facility. Marriam A.

FAQ about our East York 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 East York 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 242 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 43 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.
