55I appreciate that the gate is so close to parking! My dogs loved all of the agility equipment, and the woods and neighborhood surrounding the area gave them something to look at when they needed a break from running. I felt very safe here alone and will definitely be back! Victoria F.

55We had a great time! We recently had a baby and felt our dog needed some extra attention. It was nice to take him to a safe place to run around. Love that tennis balls and snacks were provided! We will definitely be back. Thank you Kate D.

55This was a great place to take a dog! It was spacious enough, it had a bunch of things to do and play with. We loved practicing our beginner agility. My dog really enjoyed sniffing around and the ground was flat enough to do all of this. There was an area with a bunch of goodies for people and dogs alike and it was clean and well kept. I love how the area was in a great location and was relatively quiet. Will definitely be going back in the future!! Tabitha T.

FAQ about our West Haven 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.
