55It unfortunately was raining when we went but despite that, there was plenty of covered areas for sitting and not a whole lot of mud. Also a hose to help clean our dogs! Will definitely come back as it was my bird dogs dream park!!!Maria A.

55A nice spot, but the host is correct in that there are definitely gaps under the fence that a dog could squeeze under—and a two lane highway right adjacent. My pup who is 35 pounds squeezed under and thank god did not go in the roadway but came back when I called to him. I think we will pass on coming here regularly for that reason, but this is not the hosts fault. She left treats and water and everything! This is a fantastic spot if you don’t have a curious pup or two who want to go everywhere. Cara C.

55Our large dogs loved it and the whole thing was very secure. Took 3 whole tiny burrs off my Velcro dog. Had to tell them “no” once to leave alone some standing water from lots of rain yesterday.Faye K.

55Great spot! Will be back for sure, actually planning a picnic and dogs bday party already. Fully fenced but I could see some rebel smaller dogs squeezing their way out at the entry gate. My dogs loved it. Explored the property and were fully exhausted at the end of it. There is a covered picnic table that is large enough for maybe 6 people. A hose for fresh dog water. A box with bug spray, sun block, toys and treats. 12/10 would recommend. Megan G.

55This was my first time using Sniffspot and I am sold! My pups had a wonderful time sniffing, running, exploring and playing. It’s the perfect size - big enough to explore within an hour and small enough to easily keep an eye on your pets. I appreciated the amenities for the dogs but also go the humans - I didn’t think about bringing bug spray but it was provided. I’ll definitely be back. Brittany L.

55The spot is wonderful! Our dogs enjoyed exploring this partially wild park. Water was abundantly available as well as a handy guide to the surrounding area along with important safety information. Toys were available for play. If only my dog played fetch 🤷🏻♀️ We will definitely be back! Lisa B.

55Mostly secured. My dogs seem to have gotten passed a fenced area on the right hand side when entering. Not sure how as the side they went through is not visible but i heard a gate rattling when they got through. Thankfully it wasn't towards the street and just on the other side of the property. Aside from that, it was greatAlex M.

FAQ about our Kerrville 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kerrville 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 23 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
Does Kerrville have any fully fenced dog parks?
