55Our boxer Zac had an amazing time running around of lead. He can be reactive on lead towards other dogs, so having a place where he can be off lead safely is perfect. We would highly recommend The Dog Farm. I would suggest taking a sun umbrella is summer for shade :)Jen C.

55Lovely little spot for our 3 doggos, plenty of drinking water for them and a couple of tennis balls too. Such a brilliant idea for nervous or restive dogs Becks S.

55Fabulous spot. Quiet. Well fenced. My 3 dogs, including one who is very reactive had a blast. Was so nice seeing them all run freely and happily. And I didn't have to stress or look out for incoming people or dogs etc Luana G.

55A great place to take my dogs who aren’t the best sometimes with other dogs. They happily ran around and were super excited to be going out. Quiet and peaceful. The neighbour has two young labs who have a secret escape route. They came to the fence, friendly but made my boy bark a lot. The lady was very apologetic. Aside from that a great idea and I wish there were more in the area. Thank you. We will be back 😊👍Rebecca M.

55This place is awesome!! It was so great to take the dogs somewhere that we could relax knowing other distractions/dogs were not going to be a factor for our slightly reactive dog. The dogs loved sniffing about and playing fetch and we enjoyed the peace and sunshine in a beautiful spotFran B.

55Such a great spot to visit and my two had so much fun! Especially loved the hilly terrain and exploring the long grass and bushes in the corner. We were even joined by two sweet Labs from up the road for a bit of extra fun too! Thanks for an awesome visit! Augusta G.

55I went to the park with Luna and my daughter and grand daughter. We all enjoyed being there. Clean water provided and there were some Dog Toys which was great because I had forgotten to take ours. Luna could smell and run and chase balls freely. She also ran up and down the fence line with two other dogs who were being walked by their owners which might not have been good for all dogs. I plan on returning in the near future.Trisha A.

55Fantastic spot! Fully fenced so you can relax and let your dog run free. Different slopes and plantings for your dog to bound around. Depending on amount of rain but a great muddy water hole for the dogs to play in. Our Shepherd loved this part especially. Very well set up with dog toys and a hose so you can hose off you dog before exiting. Nicola C.

55Really well fenced place that offers everything you could hope for - running space with shorter grass - longer grass and rocks to explore. Dog toys and water bowl - and the little rain pond was full when we were there (ankle to knee deep ish). Top notch spot. The signage on the fence “The Dog Farm” makes it clear you are in the right spot. Sal W.

Frequently asked questions about Eskdale dog park
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. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Eskdale 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 5 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
