55Had a great time visiting Roberts large fenced in yard. Robert had kindly left ample water, poop bags and a trash can for us. The yard is very large and a wonderful place for the dogs to run. There were 3 very large dogs in a fenced in yard two yards away that were excited to see us. If you have a reactive dog this may be a little stressful for them but they were far enough away to maybe also use it as a training opportunity. A gray cat came to visit us then quickly left!Ruth H.

55My pup had a blast sniffing around here! She was able to see a couple of dogs from the very back of the yard, but nothing that was a problem for her as the dogs were pretty uninterested. If your dog is highly reactive, that might cause a problem for them. The place was clean and well secured. There was a small spot where the gate was more picket style instead of chainlink and a small dog could probably escape if they wanted to. Any medium or large dog would be well contained. They supplied poop bags, a trash can, and two toys (a tennis ball and a Kong). There was plenty of space and lots to sniff. If your dog preferred running over sniffing I think they would still enjoy this spot as it is quite long. Haleigh B.

55Great spot, bigger than I thought it would be. Plenty of spots to run around. There was a cat inside the back enclosed patio that my not cat friendly dogs were distracted by. I felt bad for the poor kitty. Ashley W.

55What a great place to visit with my dog. This place has a huge, fully fenced in back yard for my pup to run all over. There was water put out and a nice bench for me to sit on while my dog played. By the gate was a trash can which also has waste bags for your dogs which I haven’t seen at other spots. I had my own so I didn’t need them but it’s definitely a nice thing to have in case you forget or if your dog goes multiple times and you didn’t bring enough. Definitely a great place and I will return. Robert G.

FAQ about our New Haven 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.

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.
