55Lovely clean yard and plenty of space for our two Westies to play and run.
Comfortable seating for pet parents to keep watch while your pet kids are at play.
We had our 14 week old Westie with us it’s great the yard is completely fenced, but my little girl was able to get out between the bars and under the fence.
We will need to wait several months before returning for our girl to grow so she can’t escape through the fence.

55My dogs had such a great time! They don’t get to go outside off leash often so this was a nice treat for them. The yard was beautiful and shaded in lots of spots with plenty of space for my 3 to run around and enjoy the sights and smells. We’ll be back. Jessica H.

55This was our first experience at a sniff spot and it did not disappoint! We used it as a first meeting between my nana's new puppy and our two dogs. Great neutral spot. The puppy is quite small so we did attach a pool noodle to make sure she would slip through the slats of the fence, which worked great! All our other dogs (who are 20+ pounds) were fully secure in the fenced area. Towels, treats, poop bags, water bowels and a sprinkler were set out for us and the host opened up their patio furniture before we came. We met a neighbor dog and their family through the fence so their was some excitement (barking) that came along with that, but we expected as much as we understood where the house/yard was located. All in all 10/10 and we’ll most likely do it again. Especially once the puppy gets a bit bigger!Paige W.

55This sniffspot is great! Everything we needed was set out with clear instructions. The gate/fence is super secure and I didn’t worry at all about my dog getting out. The space was clean and had plenty of room to run as well as a few trees which was great for the training I was doing. We’ll definitely be back! Amy E.

FAQ about our Hanover 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.
