55Beautiful spot to let your dog run off leash. Fence is very solid and well built. Our little terrier didn't find any spots to squeeze through, although he did try! There was fresh water out, lots of poo bags and trash containers. We enjoyed our time here.
Thank you!Alison W.

55This was a lovely place to let our dogs roam! They have added so many nice touches and it has beautiful view! Make sure to check for ticks after. Leah W.

55The dogs loved this spot! The fence was perfect and I had zero worries about the dogs getting out. The trek up was kinda steep but was perfect to wear out the doggos. The trails were nice and I was happy with all the water they had to offer. Lots of ticks but that’s with anywhere this year so just make sure to check your pups when you leave. Haley H.

55I love that I can hike around with my dog off leash and she has so much space to explore! There are trails around the property with benches throughout to take breaks for you and water for the dogs. The owners and lovely whenever I happen to run into them, always friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place for high energy dogs to get great stimulation and a great workout for owners walking around!Leiah R.

55This was our first time using sniff spot. It was an amazing experience! Our great dane and 2 weimaraner loved running up and down the hill. We have started shying away from dog parks, because you can't always trust the other dogs there. You are given a lock to ensure that you are the only people there, too. Overall terrific and will definitely be back.Kelly J.

55Excellent experience. First time here.
It’s clean. There’s water station, potty bags & trash station, treat boxes with cleaning supplies, benches to sit/rest. We loved it. And of course, our doggie’s ‘dream come true’ hour in 4 acres, since he’s an apartment dog. Will be sure to return for more sniffaris! :)George A.

55This is such an awesome place! Our dog is a runner so being able to let him run and knowing he couldn't escape was amazing. He thoroughly enjoyed it and we did too. Bit of a hike up the hill, so you both get some exercise. There was water, clean up bags, tennis balls to play with and it was clean! We happened to run into the owners, and they were so nice, friendly and helpful. All around a great experience.Holly E.

55We had a fantastic time exploring with our dogs! The property was very well maintained and had fresh water, potty bags/bins, toys, and seating available (seemingly) around every turn. This was our first Sniff Spot experience and we fear we’ve been spoiled by how wonderful this property was! We will be back :)Kathryn O.

55If I could give it 10 stars I would. Beautiful hike up to the top. Luna is usually bored within 20 minutes to 1/2 hour but she was happy the entire time, sniffing and running. We are booking again for sure Kathleen J.

55This is truly a wonderful place. We were lucky enough to meet Rick, he sure loves dogs and cares deeply about this dog friends and human friends. So many wonderful touches. Clean water. Poop bags. Trash for poo. Picnic tables even a adult potty. I loved that we used the lock they provide so we know no one could accidentally open the gate and our dogs get out. I love that layer of security. This is absolutely worth it. We wil be back while we are here visiting for next 2 weeks. Nikki B.

FAQ about our Saint John 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.
