55This spot was a great place for dogs! Pool was amazing and even great for small dogs as there’s a shallow area they can walk. Back yard is huge to explore. Overall a great experience for our puppy. Will definitely book again. Thao N.

55This Sniffspot was totally awesome! Very clean and lots of comfortable places to sit. The pool was perfect, especially for the doggies that were swimming for the first time - several steps to help get in and out of the pool easily. Big backyard with nice grass for the dogs to run and play. The dogs and humans had such a good time!Diane P.

55It was great! Beautiful to bring your dog and relax ! Although my dog was in a mood and didn't want to go in the water today. She still had fun running around and rolling in the grass, it's nice that it's fully fenced so you don't have to worry about your dog running out. Kimberly N.

55This spot was amazing! It was easy to locate with a cute Sniffspot sign by the gate along with plenty of dog waste baggies and a trash can. The space was very open and safe with scenic trees that added to a pleasant ambiance in the back of the yard. My dog absolutely loved the pool and spent all her time there, along with her humans to swim and play. It was very clean, refreshing, and had plenty of steps for ease of access and resting. I’m extremely appreciative to have a great spot with a pool to continue to help build my dog’s confidence with swimming. I would highly recommend this spot! Elise B.

55Our dogs loved it! We brought our 2, 3-year old Husky and German Shepherd, and our 9 week old Husky puppy and they had a blast! The two huskies got in the pool and loved it so much. The German Shepherd is not too fond of the water, but still enjoyed her time running and exploring. We will definitely be coming back! Everything is as described, clean and fully fenced. Viridiana O.

55We had a great time at this Sniffspot! The pool setup is very well thought out. One of our boys is a swimmer and the other one is not, and both of them enjoyed themselves in the water. A lot of open space to play fetch. Everything was clean and well maintained. We definitely recommend and will come back. Maria A.

55Our dogs had such a great experience running in a huge fenced in yard, and swimming in a pool! One of our dogs doesn't swim well and was afraid to go in the pool at first, but we showed her the shallow part and she was running in and out of the shallow end, while our other dog swam in the deep end, they had a blast! I highly recommend and we plan on coming back! Alexa L.

55Great place! One of my dogs had fun playing fetch in the big backyard. The other swam and swam and swam. The steps in the pool is really helpful for dogs that are a bit unsure about a new pool/environment or if they are smaller in size. The host also provide a hose to clean the dog(s). It can get a bit slippery in that area but otherwise it has the perfect set-up for a fun day with the dog(s). Marina M.

FAQ about our Richmond 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.
