55A little piece of paradise in the heart of Orlando. My dog loved it. I also enjoyed it. lol There was lots for my dog to sniff. The land is almost half waterfront with a raised concrete wall at water level. It has beautiful bamboo trees and lots of shade over the property. There is a combination of sand and grass for walking. There are many hammocks and chairs set up along the waterfront. The water view is covered a bit but you can see the large lake used by boats and kayaks. There are onsite trash cans and a gate that can be locked to secure the property. My dog enjoyed being off leash. The host was very polite and welcoming. It's a relaxing spot. Some RVs, boats and other items were stored on the property but my dog enjoyed sniffing those as well. Lol Would go back! Thank you for opening to guests! Renee C.

55A lot of open space. Fully fenced. Host was very kind and helpful. Would love a doggy ramp into the lake for swimming! Provides a lot of amenities. I love that it is secluded. Danielle S.

55This is one of the best places to go with your furry buddies. It was hands-down an amazing experience for my dog to jump in the lake, the whole family got to fish, and even mom came along because we were all so excited! Perfect for groups of dogs because there is enough land to play, but if you have a dog that does better alone it’a a wonderful option because it’s a gated area for them to enjoy themselves. This area is shady, secluded, and super peaceful. Will be back!

55Loved that the area was enclosed, and our dogs loved being able to swim. It was a little tricky to find but Michael sent instructions to me before our time and his number if I had any trouble. I found it without even needing to call him. Amber D.

55There was so much space in this spot! There were hammocks, chairs, shade, and balls/frisbees! My dog had a great day and was worn out by the time we left. There is even a convenient ramp for your dog to swim in the lake! He was a great host and showed us around the space. Will be coming back! :)Caitlin C.

55This place was great!! Totally secure and just rough enough for a dog to be a dog. Plenty of space to swim, run, sniff, dig, etc. Mike was a great host, clear instructions, and very friendly. Could barely get Koda to leave. We will definitely be back!Jaci G.

55Our first Sniffspot and we were not disappointed! The hosts were so gracious and welcoming, and the backyard was spacious and fully fenced in with a gorgeous view of the lake. Host even helped me rinse off my boys after their adventure, and made sure we were set on our way out! Thank you guys for your hospitality; my dogs had an absolute blast!Ngan V.

55If you’re looking for a place where your dog can run, this is it!! it is a very large yard that is nice and open!! the owners greeted us and were very friendly. i will say that if you don’t want your dog to get muddy (or yourself) this maybe isn’t the spot for you. it is very swampy but we also did go in the morning after a night of rain. we would love to come back and see how it is when the weather is hot and dry! the owners also have a hose that they let you use to rinse off your dog after you’re done. if you use sniff spot because you have a reactive dog and want your dog to have a dog free experience, there are two beagles next door that hangout by the fence that like to bark a little. they were pretty friendly and liked to run along side the fence with our dog, but thought i would mention if someone is looking for a dog-free environment. overall, this was a great place with secure fencing which is always what we look for when we use sniff spot!!Soledad J.

55Clear instructions on where to park, how to get in/out, large well-kept yard, trash bin easily accessible on way out to throw poop bags. There are 2 neighboring dogs on the right that came out while we were there (chain link fence, in case your dogs are barrier-reactive), but the owner brought them back in when he saw us there. We had a lovely time, my dogs had a blast! :) Elizabeth B.

FAQ about our Windermere 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 Windermere 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 323 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 39 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
