55Such a beautiful yard. Besides the pretty flowers, the yard is clean, well kept and private with high fences. If you sun burn easy, I'd book for later in the day though, at my 1130-1230 booking the sun was hitting the yard directly (I don't mind I'm made for that kind of sunshine) but the owner provided fresh, COLD water for my dog, toys, and plenty of resting area for me. Really, I couldn't of asked for a better place to bring my reactive dog. Sarah M.

55We are so grateful to our dog trainer for suggesting Sniffspot. Buddha's Park was perfect for our needs. We will be returning. The size of the yard and the water provided was everything a lab puppy needs! Thank you.Mindy M.

55Nice space, clean and well taken care of. The host was very nice.
It is close to the road so there are car noises and some planes flying overhead in case you have a noise-sensitive dog.Laüra G.

55This host is so thoughtful and even leaves out a full bowl of water for your pups, along with a kids pool, dog toys, and even towels! The yard is completely fenced in, and we didn't see or hear any other dogs in the neighborhood while there. The only two things to note- there's several holes in the yard to watch out for where pups have dug and it appeared like a small dog could easily get under the deck and possibly into a hole in the side of one of the sheds if they don't have the best listening skills that day. We will definitely be back! Christina I.

55The yard was nice, big and full of plants for my boy to sniff around in, and plenty of grass for him to roll around in. Nice shady spots for me to relax in and my boy to just chill (it was really warm out so running wasn't something I wanted him to do much of). Due to his major anxiety I have to start small and work him up to being the brave boy I know he can be. I have been to multiple sniff spot locations, and the host Amy is the nicest and most accommodating host yet. Definitely recommend for any dogs with anxiety, dog aggression, fear of loud noises.Sarah M.

FAQ about our Wilmington small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.

The most expensive small dog park is Where Furry Friends Come To Play. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
