55A very beautiful area with lots of surrounding fall foliage. The fence is secure and easy to open/close. The grass seems like it used to be a spot where animals grazed, as it is a bit uneven. Not a big deal and I think it will slowly become more even over time.Eisha L.

55I am so stoked about this sniffspot!! Great location close to where I live, easy access and such a huge place for my pups to play. We brought our own toys, but need to remember water next time! The views were so beautiful, and my dogs had a blast. We will be back ❤️Suzanne V.

55This place is wonderful!! My pup isn’t exactly an athlete so he didn’t use it for the whole hour but he got some great sniffs and zoomies in :) the fence is extremely sturdy, parking is easy, there were two neighbor dogs we could see/hear in the distance but it wasn’t a big issue at all. Will definitely be back!Grace B.

55Great spot, nice and open, lots of room to play. My shiba loved it but if you have a low rider like a corgi, they may struggle with some of the stems and stalks. Harriette A.

55This was me and my pups fist time using a SniffSpot, and we loved it! It's a lovely setting just beside their barn which is set a little bit away from the main house, which made me feel better about bringing a squeaky ball and getting silly with my pup. My pup and I walked the perimeter of the fence when we first arrived just to check out the fencing and saw no breaks or holes for her to escape from. Then the bag of toys we brought came out and she was full tilt for the whole hour! There is a nice bench near gate where we set our toys and the water dish we brought. Catie S.

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.
Are dog parks safe?
