55Wonderful backyard! Lots of open space for my dog to run around! The host offers a dog water bowl and a fun splash pad we love to use! The grill is also in great condition, definitely worth it to have a nice backyard grill / picnic experience :) this Sniffspot is in a neighborhood so on very few occasions we could hear a dog barking in the distance Julia L.

55Can’t recommend this sniff spot enough 💗💗💗 we had a short visit today and it was perfect for Enzo to let out some zoomies. He loves the splash pad and exploring the whole yard. Today Enzo was intrigued by the fence line and I got to learn that the fence is much taller than me and it has no openings, very secure 🥰Julia L.

55Really great backyard. The pups loved it. My piti definitely tried to find a way out but was secured. The patio was great to relax in while watching the dogs. The only thing I would say is a possible negative is if your dog's needs constant supervision the dog has multiple places they could go that you can't see them. Michelle M.

55The only Sniffspot I go to! (No really haha) I came here to try Sniffspot out, and never felt a need to try any other because the experience was so pleasant. The host has fast response time, the yard is huge and gorgeous, extremely private, plenty of balls and water toys! 10/10 all around :)Abigail H.

FAQ about our Jacksonville small dog parks
Are small 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 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Jacksonville?
There are 76 small dog parks in the Jacksonville area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
