What people say about dog parks around Ottawa, Ontario

Robert S.

November 2023

Great spot. Was visiting Ottawa/Gatineau and brought friends dogs for some enrichment. Secure spot with plenty of room to run around. There were a few mushrooms around the bushes along the back fence line, but these pups knew better and listened when I said “leave it.” It’s most definitely a spot I will come back to. As I make the drive from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to the Ottawa/Gatineau area monthly. (To see the dogs, of course!)

Emily K.

November 2023

The yard is super nice and huge! The fence tall which is nice and secure enough for any size dog. This yard would be amazing for a dog who doesn’t mind potentially seeing other dogs. The fence is a chain link (as you can see on the pics) so if the neighbours have dogs and go outside, your pup would be able to see and interact with them through the fence. The owners have two beautiful Aussies that were hanging out in front of the glass sliding door, but I am sure you could arrange with the owner to have them away from sight while you are there. Like I said, this would be a great spot for a friendly dog who might just need a secure place to run around.

Melanie B.

November 2023

My dog and his 3 friends had an awesome time. Very spacious backyard that was easy to access and the agility equipment is an added bonus! The neighbours have two small dogs that were out for a bit and barking on the other side of the fence.

Sunny & Meeks have loved visiting Ricky’s Private Dog Park! It’s a beautiful open space with lots of room to run & play. :) There’s a lovely, gentle 13 year old dog just on the other side of the fence that may pop over to say hello so if you’re dog’s not triggered by other pups, then it’s the perfect spot for you!

We don’t have a big enough yard for our energetic dog and we’re happy to have found Kenzie’s place close to ours! The yard is as described, very secure and clean. We also loved the privacy. Our dog went home tired and happy! Will definitely come back for another visit!

My dog and I had a great time! It was quiet and private and my dog got to run and play fetch.

Jessica S.

Nice space for my dogs to run and play fetch! They loved cooling down in the doggy pool. Had shady spots to rest and a place for humans to sit!

Emily K.

September 2023

My dogs had an amazing time! The yard is very clean and spacious enough for my 2 large dogs to be able to run around and play. It is easy to find and the instructions were clear. My dogs loved the mini pool the owner left out for us, and definitely appreciated the water bowl! (The neighbours small dog barked for about 10 minutes when it heard my dogs and I playing. You cannot see the dog, so my dog was not effected by this.) Thank you for opening up your beautiful yard to us! Two tired, happy dogs after the visit!

FAQ about our Ottawa 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ottawa 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 20 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
