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.

55What a lovely place! Exceeded my expectations. There was water for my dogs, tennis balls, a little pool and even bags to pick up their poop. Very clean and peaceful. An oasis in the city. My reactive girl was able to relax and I was able to enjoy them without being worried. Thank you! We will be back. Xenia J.

55Winston had a great time running around. The yard was the perfect size for some one on one fetch and the fences were high enough for my leaping boy to stay contained. There was some noise from the construction next door but we knew that going in and it caused very little distraction from our play. Water filled bowls were left out which was very appreciated. We’d love to come back!Kacey M.

55Great time here! There is a SniffSpot sign right outside the entrance which was ideal and Roxann put out 2 bowls of water! The yard is long enough for our pup to get a quick sprint in when playing fetch.
I booked it just 15 minutes before my scheduled time, she was a delight to communicate with and very generous. David P.

55My dog loved this backyard! It's a good size - not huge but plenty of room for your dog to run around and play fetch. The host provided water and has a bin full of tennis balls, which was really nice. Would definitely recommend. Michelle T.

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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 348 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 41 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.
