55Captain had a great time here! We had the yard to ourselves and there was ample space for him to run around and smell things. There is one area where your car kind of serves as the fence rather than an actual fence, but the owner let me know that before I came and with time to cancel if need be.Bethany K.

FAQ about our Tampa 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.
