55Wonderful bit of wilderness very close to Ottawa/Hull! Since it's a ravine there's so much more for them to explore than half an acre suggests. They had a great time and looking forward to taking them back.

55Always a great time at this spot! Good idea to wear old shoes or rubber boots this time of year. Delilah had a blast laying in the mud puddle! 😂Adrienne O.

55Our dogs had a great time! It was clean, fully fenced and lots of room to sniff and run. There was some noise from the traffic on the road nearby but it wasn’t too loud at all! Would definitely come back! Téa B.

55This is a great, large, safe space to let your dogs run! After an hour and a half running with her bestie, Dottie has been sleeping the last 6 hours! Just make sure you wear rain boots in the spring :)Jessica G.

55This was a great place for my dog. He got to run and play without the worry he could run away. Fencing was great! He had a blast. Thank you for sharing your space with others!Glenna M.

55Our dogs had a great time! We’ve had a couple of negative experiences at the public dog parks so we haven’t been going, but it means they don’t get a lot of opportunities to run. They loved running and sniffing without limits today. Thanks!! Madeleine G.

55Wonderful spot for our dogs! They had the best time running around the field and playing in the water. Easy to locate. 100% will be back!Stephanie G.

55We had a great time at this Sniffspot. It was the first time in a long time that my dog reactive dogs have been able to be off leash. They looked SO happy to be running through the field and cooling off in the muddy “pond” (more like a big puddle). Will definitely be coming back. But to anyone going - bring towels if your dog likes water because we went during a DRY spell and there was still a decent amount of water there. Hayley I.

55This spot is lots of fun! Really wide open space in the back part, beautiful country scenery. Pretty easy to find, just had to park on the road which can be a little busy, but there’s a big sign to indicate the entrance. No disruptions throughout the visit. Mary H.

55It was our first time, and my dog Bear had an absolute blast! He loved exploring the pond, the hill, and chasing his ball in the huge field. Bear is reactive and doesn't get along with other dogs, so we will definately be coming back to this spot!Rachel P.

55Great space. There is a field section with mowed grass, a mountainous section with longer grass, rocks and trees and a small pond- a win for my 2 Cane Corsos. The car ride hope was peaceful with 2 smelly but exhausted dogs😁Nancy A.

55This place is a life saver for me and my 1 year old reactive shepherd. We can’t go to public places so this is the perfect solution. It’s very well kept, the fence is high and secure in all areas (fence is a wire mesh and the holes are relatively large so I wouldn’t bring any small size dogs since I think they could fit through). It has a small marsh on it and a big hill and a small sitting area in the shade. Madeleine L.

55This space is a large field, with a hill in the middle, marshland in one corner and a medium-busy road along one side. Having an open space was my goal as I teach my foster puppy recall and this was perfect for that! It was very easy to keep track of her. Not much shade if you're going mid-day in the summer but the water was great for cooling the dogs down Elizabeth M.

55This is our favourite spot! A perfect space for my dog to run and play fetch. It is easy to find, well fenced in and we really appreciate that the grass is cut. Lauren S.

FAQ about our Rockcliffe Park 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.
