55Nice spot, what you see is what you get.
Just a nice wooded, grassy property to run and explore. The un fenced, mowed side Is open to the road so use a long line if your dog doesn’t have great recall. Check for ticks, it is a very rustic spot. Lots of stumps and sticks and an old barn to poke around in. My dog likes to stay near me so he didn’t explore the wetlands. I had no issue pulling in or out of the gravel drive with my little hatchback

55So quiet and peaceful. Lots of trees, logs, and brush in the middle for my pup to sniff in. Very natural, beautiful woods. Could hardly see nearby houses. No fence but boundaries of the property are easy to find. We had a great time and will be back. Laura P.

55What an awesome spot for dogs to burn off energy and explore! We didn’t even make it very far because they were so happy right from the start. Two happy and totally pooped pups! We will be back! Nicole Z.

55The property is perfect for enrichment exploration and a beautiful walk. Mixed between open field and mature forest, Izzy had a blast exploring and tracking lots of wildlife scents. Erin also generously corrected an error I made on a registration which I really appreciate. Highly recommend and will be visiting again!Jen M.

55It’s a great place! I went when there was a light covering of snow on the ground but I could still tell this place will get quite muddy like they said at certain times of the year. This doesn’t bother me much though! My dogs thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I will be back! Sydney V.

55First timer, and it was the perfect spot for my boys to get in lots of sniffing and exploring! Lots of wildlife poo (and some bones) to keep things extra interesting. There were a lot of areas that were flooded/very wet (which is everywhere right now), but plenty of space to walk around those. Very quiet; we didn't see/hear any people/animals. Thank you!!Alicia M.

55Great spot if your dog(s) have solid recall, one of mine was briefly tempted by a passing herd of deer. This is such a great spot to explore for dogs and humans but I would definitely recommend a good pair of rubber boots.Lillian I.

55Nice big wooded area... will have lots of wildflowers in a month or so. Pretty mucky but that was not unexpected. Dog was filthy but blissful! Got a lot of energy out! Jack in the pulpits were just emerging. Anne F.

55We loved this SniffSpot! Love the mix between woods and the mowed patch as well. Gave our pups the perfect mix between exploring and sniffing and then a nice long patch to play fetch. We saw one deer for added enrichment. Samantha S.

55My new favorite spot 🥰 we came last weekend and decided to book again for this weekend and had another great trip. This time we came prepared with a chuck it for the long field which our pup loved. After exploring through the woods again of course. Love love love. Samantha S.

55This spot is great to let your dog explore! It is quite wet so definitely listen to the recommendation to bring a towel to clean off your pup afterwards. We will definitely be back!Kaitlyn K.

FAQ about our Chelsea 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.
