55What a gorgeous location! It was pretty windy and cold but my two furkids had an awesome time exploring, sniffing, and adventuring in a new spot. I did have to stay aware of the chickens which sometimes came over their fence and my dogs would want to chase them. Other than that it was great and I will definitely be back!Diana S.

55Sarah’s yard is beautiful!!! Everything was well maintained, very private and peaceful. An abundance of space for our 3 dogs to run and swim and sniff. Our dogs can struggle with recall while off leash but this space is so private we had no safety concerns. We will be back!!Jenna S.

55Sarah’s spot was great! Pond with dock was perfect for Ellie to swim and practice dock diving (her favorite). Property was great size for some intense fetch (her other favorite). Only complaint is that the grass was quite long, but it’s a holiday weekend and it looked like nobody was home, so understandable!Heidee P.

55Beautiful spot! I enjoyed myself almost as much as my dogs! We were double booked with their Rover walker so we unexpectedly came face to face with the resident dog, who was luckily very polite! I would recommend that if you have reactive dogs you double check with the host that their dogs will be inside before going! Caitlee H.

55The dogs had a great time. Everything was well maintained and the fence was so high I don't imagine the greatest escape artist could get out if there. I would recommend bringing a camping chair or something to sit on. I'll be brining my pup back for sure!Amber F.

55Great large open area completely fenced in. I did have to call to make sure I was entering the right fence. When you get there it is the large gate on your left, then there’s another fence that you go through. Will definitely use again. Heidi M.

55This place is GREAT! Tons of space for my dogs to run around in, the fences were all high and secure, and it’s part of a more rural area so no need to worry about neighbors walking dogs or seeing too many people. Overall a great experience.Monica H.

55The perfect spot for medium+ pups! I brought my 5lb Chihuahua and my 20lb Fox Terrier. It was the perfect size for my frisbee-crazy terrier and I was able to work on training with my Chi. The only suggestion I would make is to make the gate more escape-proof, since it’s on a busy road. However if you just keep a watch the dog closely it should be totally fine. Abbey G.

55We used this Sniffspot on our way east along I96, so it was conveniently located near the exit. We found it to be clean, spacious, quiet, and very easy to access through the gate. Our 3 dogs got their sniff’s worth! Great to know we have a place to stop on our route. Joyce I.

55I've visited this spot multiple times with my friend and her 2 dogs. It has always been a good and fun experience. The grounds are always clean. Fences are well done so I feel confident my 1 1/2 year golden retriever can run around freely. My friends dogs are older and find the freedom this spot allows them to run with their favorite youngster is great fun.

FAQ about our Bancroft 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bancroft 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 164 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 25 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.
