55Our foster pup loves this place. Thanks for offering it to the public. We got to see a beautiful woodpecker and family in the dead palm tree toward the back of the property. We also enjoy just taking in the nature sounds at the sitting bench. Thanks again! We’ll be back as long as we have this guy. Karen G.

55Taken our pups here once before! This is our favorite due to all the shade and how large the area is for them to run. 10/10 recommend and for the price you can’t beat it Lee H.

55It was our boy's birthday and we wanted him to let loose and run, and he sure did! The property is amazing and the owner was so nice and welcoming. Our guy enjoyed it so much, and so did we. We'll definitely be back.Alex L.

55This was the most magical experience for me, my boyfriend, and my dogs. They enjoyed running across the green plush field while exploring the completely fenced in acreage. I am unable to take my small dogs to the dog park, as I fear their safety. This was the perfect experience to let them off the leash, so they could run and play while I felt anxiety free. You can see the host pours their heart and soul into making a memorable experience for animals. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!Vicky L.

55My Aussie, Arlo, and I LOVED this spot. The spot is tucked away off the main road and is very private and quiet. There is tons of space and the grounds are very flat and well groomed. There were some big trees for shade and the agility setups were a super fun to interact with. Arlo says 10/10 spot for frisbee practice - we will definitely be back!Katelyn R.

FAQ about our Silver Springs 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.
