55This Sniffspot was great! There were a few toys in the backyard that our pup loved even though we brought our own balls - there was more than enough room for her to run around and tucker her out. Will definitely be returning :)Cameron I.

55Amazing spot! It’s a huge open yard, very shaded even at noon. On a hot day it was perfect. We brought our own water but the dogs didn’t need it. They loved sniffing and crawling in the grass. I also walked the perimeter and the fence seems very secure and I didn’t see any poison ivy. We will be back!David A.

55This was a perfect spot for Quinn! It had plenty of room for him to run around and it came with a box of toys for him to choose from. Megan was very kind and offered me a chair to use while I was there. We would definitely come back again! Dominic L.

55Great big, well fenced space with a tub of toys and not a lot of potentially dangerous items around. Gus did a few sniffs around but I think he was looking for grass and all we had was snow! Very appreciative of the opportunity and very reasonable price!Jes B.

55The yard is a great spot to bring your dogs. My boys had so much fun in the open space. My Frenchie had the Zoomiez 10 different times. Very little sun which was perfect for my bully’s. Kay A.

55My dog loved running in the fully fenced in yard! She could go on the higher deck but it was closed by a gate on the driveway side. You could hear dogs barking next door but we were warned by previous reviews. Allie M.

FAQ about our Wilmington 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?
