55Such a beautiful spot! Nice big open fields. Although not full fenced in its large enough to not really notice. Although I wouldn't quickly recommend it for dogs that are "runners" if you have good recall it shouldn't be an issue. Can't wait to see this spot through the different seasons. I'd recommend somewhere to leave poop bags though! We'll be back! Hayley B.

55Great spot! Huge field my dog loved exploring and running around. Not fully fenced but not an issue as the space is so big. We’ll be back again. Brenda W.

55Great spot! Huge open spaces for my pup to run and play. We stuck to the edges of the various fields and forged our own path at times. Loved it. We will definitely be back. Stephanie J.

55Great spot! So much space! The lack of fencing should not be an issue for most dogs. Perfect spot if your dog loves to chase a ball. Will be back!Katie A.

55We had an awesome visit at this park ! It is very big and we got to have lots of off leash time. If your dog is not reliable, a long leash will be awesome as this spot provides lots of space and smells. This spot is full of burrs, I am unsure about visits during summer and fall as they are pretty intense in some areas.Maëva L.

55At first I was not sure about the spot being there is no secure fencing, however for me there were enough natural barriers and older fencing to feel comfortable. This spot is full of natural enrichment for dogs- no frills but my dog loved running through the fields and puddles. There is a little flattened pathway al the way to the hydro lines. I didn’t go beyond that because I couldnt see a trail through the bush. Parking is easy to find and everything is as is described. Thanks for hosting! Mary H.

55Updating my review as the spot has a few differences when it’s spring:
There is much more grass now- it’s long so ticks may be a concern.
Not really groomed so wear appropriate clothing.
The water / creek is still there but the grass is growing over it- be careful as the water can still be a bit deeper than it looks.
There are a lot of bugs when I went, should bring bug spray.
Saw a couple of wild turkeys as we entered, they flew off as soon as they heard my voice.
I still love the spot as it provides a lot of natural enrichment for dogs, but these are a few things to keep in mind. Mary H.

55Nice space for dogs to run and explore
Grass is deep, with small critters
(my dog loved hunting them, though unsuccessfully)
No signs, but it’s very clear where to go
We will be back 👍Tanja T.

55We love this space! It’s so quiet, and I love that we have a safe spot for our reactive doggo to run around, sniff, and be a dog! The Valentine’s Day photo op booth was such a surprise and SO CUTE.Emily N.

55First visit to the spot, easy to find where to go, my dog was sniffing everywhere by the end he was definitely tired. Outdoor toys available or bring your own. Wide open space to get your dog to full speed, would recommend for first timers who want a full visual of where their dog is throughout their visit. Lisa B.

55We brought our two dogs out for the first time and they had a blast. One of our dogs is a rescue who had very little socialization and is quite a nervous girl. She’s an active large breed pup so she really needs to run and burn off energy but busy dog parks are just too much for her right now. We were so thrilled to see her running and playing in a stress free environment! The space was clean and well kept and there are lots of balls and a “stick library” for the dogs to chase and play with. The yard was large enough for the dogs to play and run but also small enough to work on some recall training. (Once the pup gets better at that we’ll try the larger space for a trail walk). Overall a great experience and we’ll be back for sure! Thank you Heather!! Sandra D.

55The enclosed area is great for my dog to run free. She could have stayed longer judging by her unwillingness to leave:)
I would take our dog there as often as I can. The space is an oasis for dogs owners. Hope to go there over the winter and enjoy the snow with our pet. Thanks for having us!Stella K.

55What a great time for our two dogs to play in such a spacious area. It was all as advertised and Heather reached out prior to us arriving to ensure we were all good and the exact locations/entrances. Also it included a bunch of toys and even a prop box to allow us to grab some pics of our dogs as we were celebrating one of their birthdays! Great experience and we will definitely be back and recommending to our friends!Andrew W.

FAQ about our Goulbourn 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Goulbourn 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 20 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
