55We were a bit early, and Rena graciously came to meet us. Her property is quite lovely. Their were horses in their enclosed field plus a dad and 2 kids on the river fly fishing. So our pups remained on lead except in a large, fully fenced area. Mary G.

55Rena met us in the driveway and guided us to where to park and then she walked us the short distance to the fully fenced area as well as to the river access. Her property is absolutely lovely and the rocky beach on the river gives ample sniffing and swimming opportunities. My dog has very high prey drive so we enjoyed our time on a long line, which made it easy to reel her in as she swam to the faster middle of the river and was headed downstream after the purple martens that were skimming the water for bugs.Carrie E.

55Great spot for dogs that like water! The fully fenced area was nice & shady, but we spent the majority of our time at the river. Our dogs had a blast!Cassidy D.

55Just what we needed. Fun and shady fenced area for sniffing around and fetch. Then the river beach was gorgeous with nobody else around. Just what we needed to have some peaceful river dog time with our boys. There were some shady areas near the river bank as well. (I burn easily so I’m always looking for the shady spots.)Kristin F.

55Rena is so helpful and communicative. Her place is so lovely, my dogs had a blast frolicking in the river and we love the lounge chairs she has in the sand. A great spot that we will definitely come back to!Katie X.

55This was a beautiful spot. We had a few swimmers in the group so they enjoyed the river access. Rena greeted us and showed us around as if was our first time visiting. Great place for reactive pups as it was a quiet and calm environment. It was nice having both the fenced area and the river access. Thank you for sharing your property! Angie F.

55Nice spot. It was great to see my girl navigating the rocky river bed (on leash) like a champ. I didn’t feel 100% sure about letting my good girl off leash on our first visit. I thought best to learn the area better first. The fully fenced area was a welcome, off leash, place to play. Amelia L.

55Host was pleasant and walked us through the location. Land by river is rocky, but did not hurt our dog. When we went to the first fenced in area on the right of the path, there were a good amount of greenery and thorny plants, be careful. Pup had fun dipping his toes in the water and seeing his first horses!Amaya-Giselle V.

55Sky had a ton of fun. Water seems a little chilly. He has a lab brain in an Am Staff body so mum needs to keep an eye on signs of "he's frozen but he's not cold". Ines D.

FAQ about our Sandy 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sandy area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 128 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 32 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
