55Alice had out two doggie pools, pitchers of waters, doggie bowls, treats, and sanitizer. The yard was nice, big, and clean. There were some shady spots, places to sit for the humans, and lots for the pups to sniff. The pups had a great visit! We'll be back. Robert S.

55My pup had a great time at this inviting yard! We will be back! He is a hound mix so he loved sniffing around. The yard was big enough, but not too big. I was able to keep my eye on him the whole time. Very clean and lots of items to keep dogs happy (room to run/roam, dog pool, treats, balls, water bowls, poop
bag/trash). Katie R.

55This was the best SniffSpot I have visited! It is large but not too large you worry you’ll lose track of your dog. Lots of shade and sun, perfect for fetch, off-leash training, or just watching your pooch enjoy a roll in the grass. The host has poop bags, water bowls, and toys available but bringing your own is always a good call. Lots to explore and sniff and my boy spent 20 minutes sniffing and 20 minutes running, it was a great way to while away an hour (minus the unexpected travel time and packing up). I am reluctant to leave such a great review because I don’t want to give away a secret. =)
Thanks, AliceInFosterland!!!Marnie M.

55Lovely yard! Lots of toys, and a hard-sided pool our pup especially loved. Easy to reach from DC, and convenient parking in the driveway. Nice table and chairs if you get a chance to sit down. Danielle B.

55Me and my fur baby really enjoyed the visit!!! The yard was clean, very spacious and I noticed there were poop bags, balls, hand sanitizer and 2 bowls of water for us to use. This will be our regular spot to come when I don’t want to take her to the dog park. Tasha A.

55This is a favorite spot and my boy LOVES it! There was a dog on the other side of the fence this last time but the fence is secure so it was a non-issue. We will keep going back as the host clearly cares about her place and the enjoyment of pups!Marnie M.

55We have a minpin puppy (6 pounds) and the fencing was totally secure. There were no spots where she could squeeze through and escape. Lots of toys and bones for her to play with and a water bowl with access to the water hose, along with seating for us to relax while she explored. She enjoyed sniffing around and chasing butterflies. Great spot. I'd definitely come back. Nicole L.

FAQ about our Adelphi 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?
