Sammy's Playground Wrentham, MA
Come and play in Sammyโs Playground. Thereโs lots to do. With the entire 0.5-acre backyard fully enclosed by a new chain-link fence (Fall 2022), your pups are free to roam, sniff and run to their heartsโ delight. And, wowโฆ it sure is fun to watch them go!! Zoom-Zoom.
(Important information on pricing and opening the gate are at close of this section. Pull your vehicle right up to the main gate.)
The areas along the edges of the yard are wooded and make for fun pathways for explorations. The central area of the yard has a slight hill and is mostly open. This makes for plenty of romping and heavy-duty running- including long throws of a ball or a frisbee. Check out all of the photos and read the accompanying descriptions to get a better idea of how Sammyโs Playground will appeal to you and your furry friends!! And donโt worry about the yard (too much). Thereโs divots and mounds all around, no manicured lawns when dogs are at play. Go for it guysโฆ Enjoy!!
The pool๐ฆ is open and the water is Devine for pups and humans alike. We allow two humans per dog to assist any dogs that may need โassistance.โ We have a bunch of life vests available, but canโt guarantee that we have one that will fit your dog(s). Many dogs will find great pleasure in retrieving their ball or simply going for laps in the pool. Sammy is a nutcase for his tennis balls. David stands in the deep end, throws the ball to the stairs, Sammy bobs for the ball, retrieves itโฆ all to do it again (whining the whole time).
For ๐ฆ pool use, select the corresponding โExtraโ for your visit. Yellow, stripes towels for the dogs. Colorful towels for the humans. Place wet towels on the wall. Theyโll dry almost instantly in the sun. Now that Fall is approaching, pine needles, leaves and other nature debris are falling into the pool. This is making upkeep more challenging. We are doing our best to keep the pool open as long as feasibly possible. Feel free to skim the water surface if it bothers you. But the pool water is correctly adjusted as clean water for continued swimming.
We also set up the furniture, gazebo, hammock, doggie toys, cold drinking water and beverages for our Guests for ALL to enjoy as we enjoy this summertime!! Yea.
Itโs our hope that our family-like relationships between us and our Guests remain great and we to avoid any reason to raise our hourly rate. SniffSpot suggests we list at $20/hour. We are uncomfortable with doing this, because it goes against the spirit of our objective for the playground in the first place: providing a safe and secure environment for dogs of all kinds to enjoy off-leash โtrue-dogโ experiences with their loving humans.
We do welcome donations of dog food, p-pads and medications for the all-dog rescue organization, PAWS New England. In fact, on some occasions, we may make Sammyโs Playground available on โoffโ hours. When we do, we consider this โpremium timeโ and hope you will be more inclined to make such a donation.

NOTE: to open the gate, simply reach over the top to find the key. Twist/turn the key until it stops. Then, lift the knob on top of the gate and push the gate openโฆ youโre in! The gate automatically closes behind you. Please confirm that it has engaged into the closed position and then turn the key to lock yourself in. DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY. The photos section includes views of the gate, key and lock.
NOTE: As an โExtraโ listed benefit, you may park your vehicle in an area away from the main gate and take advantage of a leisurely stroll down the very-well-kept sidewalks of Park Street and adjoining neighborhoods. We list this as an Extra simply so that we know why we have a car in the driveway, but no humans and dogs. Selecting this Extra just gives us the heads up.
This might be a good way to burn off that last little bit of doggy energy or for some leash training while youโre here. This is time AFTER your booked time of using Sammyโs Playground (not a part of it). We just donโt want you to run off without taking advantage of all the resources available to you for your dog(s).
