55Huge open area perfect for fetch and exploring. It has a wire type fence but our dogs definitely would never be able to get out unless they got on top of something to jump out - so super highly unlikely. We loved the lake and little shore and dock. We will definitely be coming back to this spot because of its massive space and privacy from people, traffic, and other dogs. Mackenzie S.

55My wife and I have two dogs who like to run and explore. This place was amazing for them. So much room to run in fully fenced area I can't say enough good things about it. We can't wait to go back. The host provided water bowls, waste disposal basket, benches and chairs galore, raised beds for the dogs, docks to enjoy the water... Everything was super clean and neat and well kept! The experience was much better than we expected, just a perfect day with our pups! Great communication with the host too! Highly recommend! Steven M.

55I have a small dog, a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix. He had a blast! He is used to condo living and taking walks, so this fenced in yard allowed him the opportunity to run around, play fetch, and have a great time. When we went to enter, we couldn't get in, as the gate was locked from the inside. I rang the doorbell and the host came to greet us and allow us in the yard. He was courteous and kind. There was a small pen with three ducks inside the yard, but it was enclosed so the dogs couldn't access. Make sure to walk around the yard, as there is a little gap in the fence near the back of the yard a small dog could escape. I found something in the yard to put in front of it so the dog could not escape. Overall, a pleasant experience!Robert H.

55As always, Lulu and I had lots of fun running around in Roxanns lovely yard. We even discovered a pile of sticks (Lulus favorite) near the toy box for the dogs to use! Jackie E.

55My two dogs absolutely loved the backyard. It was the perfect size and location. It had all we needed (balls, doggie poop bags, other toys, a doggy pool). So perfect! We will definitely make this a routine to come a few times a month. Thank you so much for the incredible experience! Annabel B.

55This yard was lovely! It was nicely maintained, including the tall, secure fence. We arrived to bowls filled with cold fresh water, and an assortment of balls and sticks! There was plenty of shade. We were there at 3:30 on a weekday and found parking easily on Ivy St, super close to the house. The house had a Sniffspot sign and it was clear where to enter the yard. Great experience.Suzanne H.

55This was our first time trying sniff spot and it did not disappoint! Everything was just as described in the host listing and my dog absolutely loved it. The fencing was high and secure- reassuring for me! Beautiful yard with plenty of space for a larger dog to play and explore. Loved that water and tennis balls were included! Will definitely be booking this spot again!Jean S.

55Fantastic spot! This was my first time using Sniffspot, and it’s so convenient and reasonably priced. This spot had at least a dozen tennis balls, sticks to chew on, and 2 overflowing bowls of water. My dog was very happy to sniff and run about. I will definitely be visiting again.Katie M.

55My friend and out dogs Taco and Kami had a super fun play date at this Sniffspot. It is a big yard, enough for a medium hound mix and large GSD to run and chase each other and of course plenty of things to sniff. The home owner provides water bowls and hose for fresh water and a nice basket of sticks for tossing and chewing. For the humans there is a table with four chairs to sit, relax and watch the dogs have fun.Jennifer M.

FAQ about our New Castle 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 New Castle 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 541 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
