55I really enjoyed our visit today. There was plenty of room to play ball. It's all shaded. A nice clean drinking area, optional doggy pool. It was so quiet and peaceful. It's a beautiful yard. I love having this so close to us!Kari L.

55This was our first time using any Sniffspot and it was a great experience!
Clean, shaded, fenced in yard. Lots of signs to point you in the right direction.
Fresh water to drink, toys to play with. The splash pool was out and I think my dog would tell you that was her favorite part. She dove in it multiple times. So, bring a towel if your dog loves water!
We just moved to a place without a yard and Jezzie's Place was a perfect spot for off leash time with my dog.

55We visited with two mini dachshunds and a Bahamian Potcake (Marley). Marley loves to run, and enjoyed himself a lot more having things to run through and over. My doxies had a great time as well. Jazz seldom leaves my side at dog parks, even when whey are empty, but she happily roamed around explored on several occasions. There is water, and dog treats. Ed has provided a great spot where dogs can run and explore freely, in a place that is actually interesting to them, and their people don’t have to worry about unfriendly or unvaccinated dogs. Our veterinarians are not fans of dog parks, but I think even they would approve. Also, the park is located just before Rollins State Park. We walked up the road and followed a trail for a little bit after their off-leash time. We will be back!Debra B.

55Ed's place was exactly as advertised. Thinned out woods, with mulch laid down to cover roots and irregularities. The pool was out with fresh water, a clean bucket of drinking water, poo bags, a nice picnic table with some pretty Sunflowers to take pics with 😉. Ed personally welcomed us and made us feel right at home. We will definitely be back. Derek C.

55Great spot for my pup. He enjoyed chasing a ball (2 were provided), playing in the small child size pool, and especially having the freedom to dig a hole (permitted by host). I enjoyed the picnic table adorned with a vase of sunflowers. Susan M.

55Fantastic. Park at the end of the driveway by the small dogface sign. The host met us and showed us the path which is on the left of the driveway. Plenty of room for our husky to be off leash and explore. Fresh water was provided, treats, doggy bags and trash receptacle. It had been raining so the host put a towel down on the picnic table seat so we could have a dry spot to sit. Also had some pretty flowers. Our dog played, ran and explored. We all loved it. We will be back. Tracey M.

FAQ about our Grafton 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Grafton 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 55 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 8 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.
