55Amazing first sniff spot for my two lab mixes! The space was very clean with trash cans provided as well as extra poop bags. Lots of obstacles were on site with ball launchers, a large tub for drinking as well as a kiddie pool and hose to fill it. Lots of bugs as is expected in Florida summer so just be prepared. Multiple shade spots and a bench to sit on. Fence was a great height and fully secure. We will visit again! Cassidy V.

55A nice open area for our dogs to run, it has agility equipment which is fun. The spot had a few toys in case you don’t bring your own, and there was a doggy pool. Deidra W.

55Always a great time at this location. I walk the property as extra physical therapy constantly when we visit, very well maintained by owner and visitors. I've only once found somebody before us left 2 poop piles at the entry gate and Pavillion a couple vists ago, which I picked up to clear away the gnats and flies for us and the next visitors. Thank you all for being, responsible, clean and keeping the place pleasant for us all to enjoy!Heather G.

557:30 a.m. Suday 8/18. Horses were out in the pasture next door and came up to the fence to see us. They had no fear of my dogs who had never seen horses before and were acting crazy. They were growling, barking, and jumping until I put on their leashes and made them sit while I petted the horses. It was a great lesson for the dogs, and both horses were so affectionate with me. I loved they wanted my attention even though it made me miss the horses I once had. Made my day even better.

55What a wonderful place! We took our 6 dogs for a playdate and we all had a ball! The host provided 2 pools for them to cool off and water bottles for our hand to stay cool and hydrated. Will be returning again often and soon. Place is secure, clean and shaded. Celia R.

55This was the most magical experience for me, my boyfriend, and my dogs. They enjoyed running across the green plush field while exploring the completely fenced in acreage. I am unable to take my small dogs to the dog park, as I fear their safety. This was the perfect experience to let them off the leash, so they could run and play while I felt anxiety free. You can see the host pours their heart and soul into making a memorable experience for animals. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!Vicky L.

55Absolutely love this location. It's plenty of room and acreage for our big boy to exhaust himself and there is no weak points in the fencing all the way around so no need to worry at all about any escape artists getting out. Scott R.

FAQ about our Lady Lake 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 Lady Lake 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 277 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
