55So much fun! The space is exactly as described and the host did a great job explaining where things were. It was a bit of a drive for us from Arlington but definitely well worth it, especially as my pup is all tired out and sleeping!Tam C.

55Great variety of terrain and fields/woods. My dogs didn’t want toys bc they were too busy just zooming around. Host is kind and communicates well. Will return. Thanks!Beth M.

55We had a great time! My dog and his friend had the best time running around. It was easy for us to stay away from the electric fence. I’m always happy to see my sensitive and reactive dog really enjoying himself :) I hope to come back soon! Lizzie B.

55A pond, dog toys, and dog washing station makes this a great choice for exercising your dog(s). A great spot to wear out the dogs before heading for libations at a nearby brewery or winery. If you have a dog that does not stay close or does not have a strong recall having only tree line as fencing can be an issue (especially as there are off limits areas such as drain field). Horses are visible behind an electric fence. The owner is all up front with these items, so you should not be surprised and also provides a detailed map. Elizabeth S.

55My pups never swam before but the geese in the pond sure enticed her. She also liked playing with the toys they provided more than her own so that was fun. It’s beautiful and peaceful. Love to give my dog space to run and their hospitality made it not awkward to chill in their backyard lol. She slept for 4 hours after so it was a success. Isabelle P.

55We always love coming here! My dog is reactive, so I’m very picky about Sniffspot locations. It makes my day to see him living his best life, without a care in the world. No triggers in sight. Jessica H.

55Our dogs had a great time exploring, and if it had been a bit warmer they would’ve loved swimming in the pond. We’ll definitely have to come back when it’s warmer! We kept our pups on long lines because I don’t trust their recall, and it was still a great time with lots of space to run and play. Kaeti H.

55This was a wonderful spot and we are excited to visit again! Our dog is reactive and we live in a busy neighborhood, so it means a lot to us to find a space for him to explore. The area is quiet, beautiful, and he had tons of fun running around and sniffing everything :)Orli M.

55Most amazing sniffspot I’ve been to yet! The host is wonderful and nice. She keeps the lot super clean, organized, labeled and provides very clear and helpful instructions. I showed up a little late due to a gps issue and she offered for me to stay a little past my scheduled time to enjoy the full hour. That was so nice and thoughtful of her!
The washing station is awesome. My dog didn’t love it, but I sure did lol! Major bonus not having to bring a dirty dog into the car. Mine didn’t want to do anything but drink from the pond, but if you have a swimmer, you have to check this spot out!
Thank you!!! We will be back asap! Hanna D.

55This place was wonderful! The perfect place for our little guy to swim on a hot day! Our other dog doesn't swim much but she loved chasing the grasshoppers, frogs, and following the fish around in the shallow areas. It was a lovely, relaxing visit for us too - my husband and I sat on the pier and enjoyed the scenery while the pups explored. Loved the little rinse off area on the driveway - I need to get one of those tubs!! The dogs have been asleep since we got home, so, 10/10!Stephanie M.

FAQ about our Haymarket dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
