55My dogs and I had a wonderful time! HUGE backyard with a very secure fence. Grass is cut, so we didn’t have to worry about snakes. Secure enough to keep my 9lb dog contained. I did not notice any holes or gaps. I had to let my dogs leashes drag because they were having so much fun they did not want to listen to me lol. There were some friendly dogs visible on the other side of the fence, which for my dogs was a huge bonus. There was also a really nice covered patio with fans. The host was very sweet and accommodating. I did get a little lost on my way here, I recommended not using Google Maps (took me to the wrong location), use Apple Maps instead. So thankful to have places like this to bring my city dogs 🥰. Will be back soon!Lauren R.

55My dog and I had a great time here! The backyard is very open and spacious. It was big enough for my working-line German Shepherd to sprint at full speed during fetch! She usually needs the size of a soccer field to unleash her energy. The backyard was also very relaxing surrounded by nature. We played hide and seek. I would hide her favorite toy and it would take a couple of minutes for my dog to sniff it out because the yard was so big. Highly recommend! Sarah O.

55Beautiful, well taken care of space! The trees provided great shade, and will be very helpful as temperatures warm up. Our senior girl sniffed around the yard for a while, and then picked a couple different shady spots to air-scent from. It was nice to hear the birds in the trees and the crickets chirping. A year ago, we would have played fetch too, as the yard is a great size for that. We saw no dogs on a weekday morning, but if I had seen the neighbor dog out, I would have just kept our dog on her long line and away from that fence.Bianca T.

55We had such an incredible experience at Christopher’s fenced in large private yard! I was genuinely blown away by how much fun our visit was! There was plenty of open space for my two high energy pups to run free to their heart’s content. We felt very safe and at peace here, with only the next door neighbors small dog barking frequently. There were tons of interesting and varying areas for my dogs to excitedly smell and explore as well. We immediately felt at home, due to the charming tranquil set up for our visit when we arrived. Our host also stocked the patio area with plenty of awesome toys that your fur babies will have a blast playing with! My pups were absolutely ecstatic for such an amazing opportunity to have a fantastic adventure together, and were beyond happily exhausted when we left. We are so grateful that you hosted us today Christopher, thank you again :)Cassandra R.

55This is a great and very cute spot. My pups love to run in the yard and are tired out at the end of the visit. Fence is safe and secure and there’s water available. There are dogs in the neighbor’s yard but my pups are not reactive to that, so it’s no problem for me. Will be back again!Brittany S.

55Beautiful yard with a lovely patio to sit on while my dog played fetch! Extra toys/balls were provided and plenty of water. Dublin was curious about the rocks around the hammock and loved cooling off in the shade in between throws. Ellie K.

55Such a great spot! Amenities were very helpful. Very well kept and clean. Henry had the best time running around and playing! The neighbor dogs were out and barking some, but Henry didn’t really react to the distractions. Just sniffed at the fence and went back to playing. We will definitely be coming back! Abigail C.

55A great sized yard with a nice amount of shade in the morning. The fence is a great height and in good shape. The yard was well tended and there was a nice bowl of clean water and dog toys. There’s ample street parking as well. This is a wonderful spot!Madison B.

FAQ about our McDade 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.
