55If you have a small dog, I would be worried about the gap in the gate. Its great for big dogs tho, its clean and flat with lots of space for dogs that like to play fetch. Tatianna N.

55This place was amazing. Had a ‘wooded’ tall grass area (so many smells!) a kiddie pool, and an open area for them to run in circles and to cool off they ran under the deck!!! This place was so fun and unexpected for a residential area. Abbie H.

55Great spot for exploring, playing in multiple water sources, and chewing on bones. Yolanda especially enjoyed the cheese treats the host left for us 🥰. No dogs are visible from spot, however, the neighbor behind had their dogs out (behind a solid 5-6 foot wall) and they barked like crazy when they heard my pup on the other side. Eventually, they went in and my girl was able to calm down and enjoy the space.Maddy B.

FAQ about our New Brighton 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?
