55The best spot! Our second time here and it was even better than the first. :) Gus had so much fun running and playing fetch! There’s fun agility equipment and toys for the pups. Also a little kiddie pool. We’ll most definitely be back!Jessica W.

55I recued a dog 2 weeks ago that was abandoned in a rusty crate way too small for her and her legs were, still are, cut with sores from the crate and from being in her own pee and poo.
We visited here this morning knowing it's fully fenced since she's not great about recall yet as she has probably never been out of a crate til rescued and never off leash with me yet. She gets distracted very easily since it's literally a whole new world for her, so I couldn't go somewhere not secured.
We live in an apartment, so until today, she only had freedom of 1000sf and her toys the past 2 weeks. It was freaking awesome being able to see her run and play, and more of her confidence and personality come out!
My older boy loved being able to chase and run with her instead of just roaming property on his own. Definitely the two dog go to spot from now on for us! Heather G.

55It was our first time using SniffSpot and I’m glad we chose Merlin’s farm as our first adventure! My 6 month old puppy, Skye, had the time of his life! There is an obstacle course as well as some toys. We will definitely be back :)Maria P.

55Very large, secure, and well maintained space for your pup to run around. Important note: the sheep are in a small pasture immediately adjacent to the Sniffspot field. They can and do come right up to the shared fenceline. There's some screening on the fence that obscures them from view some, but my dog was still very much aware of them. I didn't realize just how close they'd be based on the listing, so just consider if that's something that will work for your dog.Laura G.

55Amazing first sniff spot for my two lab mixes! The space was very clean with trash cans provided as well as extra poop bags. Lots of obstacles were on site with ball launchers, a large tub for drinking as well as a kiddie pool and hose to fill it. Lots of bugs as is expected in Florida summer so just be prepared. Multiple shade spots and a bench to sit on. Fence was a great height and fully secure. We will visit again! Cassidy V.

55Always a great time at this location. I walk the property as extra physical therapy constantly when we visit, very well maintained by owner and visitors. I've only once found somebody before us left 2 poop piles at the entry gate and Pavillion a couple vists ago, which I picked up to clear away the gnats and flies for us and the next visitors. Thank you all for being, responsible, clean and keeping the place pleasant for us all to enjoy!Heather G.

557:30 a.m. Suday 8/18. Horses were out in the pasture next door and came up to the fence to see us. They had no fear of my dogs who had never seen horses before and were acting crazy. They were growling, barking, and jumping until I put on their leashes and made them sit while I petted the horses. It was a great lesson for the dogs, and both horses were so affectionate with me. I loved they wanted my attention even though it made me miss the horses I once had. Made my day even better.

55What a wonderful place! We took our 6 dogs for a playdate and we all had a ball! The host provided 2 pools for them to cool off and water bottles for our hand to stay cool and hydrated. Will be returning again often and soon. Place is secure, clean and shaded. Celia R.

FAQ about our Wildwood 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 Wildwood 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 277 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
