55Super easy to find, easy parking. Backyard was muddy, but they warned me ahead of time and offered to cancel the visit. We brought our pup anyhow, she had a blast!! Easy to access hose in the driveway to wash away the mud.Kayla H.

55John’s yard was everything it was described to be and more. There was a fresh bowl of water and plenty of toys waiting for us when we got there, and the yard was clean and fully fenced in. There was reinforced chicken wire along the bottom of the fence, as well as privacy screen - our dog loved it. Would highly recommend this spot for anyone in the area!Spencer S.

55Easily one of the top 2 spots I’ve been to. Extremely clean and well organized. There was even a water bowel, container of toys, and poop bags all readily available. I’ve already booked my next visit. Definitely check this spot out if you’re in the area and you’ll be glad you did. DAVID S.

55A little bit muddy but he did let me know ahead of time and the hot cold tap is wonderful for cleaning paws and belly before heading home. Highly recommend this place to let fur babies run !! Wendy M.

55It was our first time using Sniffspot and Johns place was awesome! Lots of space for our border collie puppy to run, play frisbee and try out some of the agility equipment. We loved that there was fresh water for her. Thank you! Alexe B.

55Great spot! No other dogs in fenced in yard. It’s great for dogs that are not social with other dogs. Hut was so tired after half an hour! So worth it! It even had an obstacle course for dogs to try out! Can’t wait to bring my other dog over! Thank you so much! Oh and they also have a box full of dog toys! So cool! Victoria C.

55Save for the north gate allowing a smaller dog (<40lbs) being able to slip through the holes, and a few poops (we picked up), Marissas backyard is a nice large space to allow your pup to run free. Can't beat it for $5! Nick D.

FAQ about our Hamilton 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 204 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
