Krystal's Private Dog Park In Scarborough | Sniffspot
55We loved it! Krystal’s yard was just perfect! We live in an apartment and our rescue dog is learning to socialize, and not ready for dogs interaction and needs to drain energy. This spot is well fenced, no view to outside, big enough for zoomies and there were plenty of toys and treats. Our pup was so happy fetching and jumping. Thanks Krystal, for letting us use your garden!D R.

55Amazing yard! Host was also very kind and responsive. She left toys, poop bags in the yard. There is also a bench for people to sit on which was nice.
You cannot see or hear anyone so it’s very private and easy to get in and out of.
We went after sunset but she left the lights on and it was quite nice.
My dog ran around and sniffed and loved it! Jasmine D.

55Overall my dog had a fun time sniffing and exploring the yard! There were toys, water bowl, treats, and seating provided. Just note that near the end of our booking, the neighbour’s dog came out and barked and stared at my dog nonstop which made my dog anxious so we decided to leave early (see pic). But, the host assured me that the neighbour’s dog is only seen 2-3x a month. Maggie L.

55We had a blast! There is a lot of space to play (great for zoomies) and a large selection of toys. The backyard is separate from the house which helped my reactive pup feel safe and allowed us to really have fun. We will be visiting again. Jennifer J.

55Was our first visit and we will definitely return. Good sized space for my dogs to explore and play. Great assortment of toys, water bowl out and freshly filled. Access to the hose for more. Poop bags and treats for the pups on the patio table. All very thoughtful and appreciated. There is also a doggie pool, we didn’t use it today but will next visit.

55A fun space for running and sniffing, fully enclosed with a secure gate in a quiet neighborhood. The host welcomed us to park in their driveway. Some great features include a dog pool with fresh water, a clean and raked digging sandbox, shaded seating for humans, and a variety of toys including a Chuckit with several tennis balls. Thoughtful touches included a generous bowl of water and little flags marking a few spots of uneven terrain (so humans could avoid injury while playing!) A great Sniffspot and we look forward to returning.Nadia H.

55David’s space was great! The basket of toys, fresh drinking water and paddling pool made available made for a nice, fun morning. Our two boys had a great time running around playing chase and were snoozing all afternoon. Copper especially loved the sand pit! Would 100% book again. Kirsty B.

FAQ about our Scarborough 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. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Scarborough?
There are 147 small dog parks in the Scarborough area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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 doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. 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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
