55Penny's Place checks all the boxes! It is within a 10 minute drive, spacious enough for my off-target Chuck-It! throws, has spots of shade, fresh water access, enough balls to outfit a batting practice, and wonderfully maintained grass coverage throughout. Did not encounter any potential escape or intrusion concerns with the fencing.
Summary: Ideal spot for expending seemingly incessant dog energy productively.Kathryn S.

55This was a perfect space for my pup. So much room to run and sniff and chase the ball. It was clean and they put out fresh water and balls. It was quiet and perfect for reactive dogs. Will definitely return! Abby W.

FAQ about our Mathews 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 Mathews 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 145 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 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.
