55I parked on Birch St as suggested and it was an easy in/out at the gate. The dogs had their noses to the ground immediately to take in all the smells. The yard was clean and mowed. Geordi loved the kiddie pool and Sherman explored every corner! Good mix of sun and shade for warmer days.Ellie A.

55Good yard with secure fence. Lots of bushes, so for our lab Owen fetching was part scavenger hunt, and he enjoyed the cooling clover patch during breaks. We felt very welcome in Laura’s yard. Sherry W.

55Such a nice place to let your pooch run like a  maniac. Just be aware some neighbors have dogs, this nice lady was walking her dog as we were leaving and my dog went crazy as he does not like other dogs.
Overall amazing experience and will definitely be coming back. Nimueh B.

55Great spot with lots of grass to run. There is a large concrete court in the center which I was concerned with how hot it might get during the summer but it was easy enough to keep my dogs on the grass. Kelly G.

55Perfect yard! Tons of space for the dogs to explore but not get too far out of sight or hide. Never saw another dog or person which was nice. Our dogs loved exploring this yard and we loved enjoying the garden in the shade Nia N.

55Great place for your pup. My GSD is reactive towards dogs and this was a perfect area for him. There were barks of other dogs but none were seen. So if you have a reactive dog, this place is perfect! 10/10 recommend Gisell A.

55Private. Easy to find and use. Worked on attention and recall with my pup, was the right amount of distractions (minimal, but some random noises from neighbor pets/gardeners at times which is what I wanted). Pup enjoyed running around. I walked around the yard a bit too. Rochelle F.

FAQ about our Rockaway Beach small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
