55Sandy is very welcoming and her place is great. Our doggie had a great time running on grassy trails. The creek is beautiful. A perfect spot for your dog to cool off. The best sniff spot that we’ve discovered so far.Iwona B.

55Our dog had a ball, lots of space to run and explore. It was a very hot day so the creek was her favorite part. Sandra kindly came to meet us to show us a path to the creek because the way was a bit overgrown the day we were there. Thanks for a fun afternoon !Lauren P.

55Georgi, our German Shepherd, absolutely loves running free in the fields and the paths leading to the creek. It's so great to be able to let her off leash on 100 acres. It's a wonderful experience for all of us! Thank you!!Heidi B.

55Our visits to this spot keep getting better because there is so much to explore. Today we all waded in the creek — a true bonus in the heat. I wish our dog slowed down enough - even for a second- so I could capture his smile in a photo.Eva Marie D.

55This sniffspot is truly remarkable. There is endless space for your dog to run freely and still be within eyesight, plenty of shade if you need to take a beat of rest, a quaint creek for the dogs to cool off, and tons of smells and nature sounds to keep them busy! It also tops the list as far as cleanliness! My pup had the best time! We can’t wait to go back! Mersiha A.

55Beautiful, sprawling property. Our two dogs had the best day sniffing, exploring, swimming, and wandering. The stream stole the spotlight, tho the trail through the woods and fields were absolute highlights. We will absolutely be visiting again.William B.

FAQ about our Ghent 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?
