55This spot was perfect for our active puppy and senior dog. A ball thrower, poo bags and treats were available, and the yard was completely enclosed and clean. Parking was clearly marked. My dogs had a wonderful time running and playing. This will be a favorite spot! Christy S.

55Very nice space! Huge, grassy with a wooded area in the back. Very quiet, low-traffic street on a dead end, no neighbors noticed. My dogs did more running than sniffing in this spot. There were a couple of fuzzy yellow tennis balls available out in the yard for play. A resident returned home while we were there, called out to us to make sure it was okay to open the gate before he drove his car in and re-secured the gate behind him. It gave us plenty of time to safely leash the dogs while the gate was open. It was not a problem for my dogs, just a heads up if you have a dog with stranger danger that the owners will need to use the same gate you used if they happen to arrive or depart during your time.Laura S.

Me and the pups drove about 30 minutes to check this spot out and it was sooo worth it! Quite with lots of room to roam around.
We will definitely be back.Korbie P.

55Our second time visiting and won’t be our last! The new lock on the gate holds it together very well - my pup who tries to squeeze out of gates didn’t even pay attention to it! We did see someone in the neighbors yard again. One of my dogs is nervous of new people and ran over toward him and barked a few times before running off. They then told me that I need to control my dogs (they were) and that he can’t have them jumping over the fence (they didn’t even get near it or attempt to do that). Nothing to this sniffspot or the owner of this yard at all! More of an FYI to be mindful of this in case you have a pup like mine who is unsure of strangers. My dog was able to forget about him and ignore him the rest of the time. He was only out for maybe 10-15 min and was behind bushes doing yard work a few times so we didn’t see him the whole time he was outside. Kaitlyn H.

55This sniffspot is great! It is so big and fully fenced. My dog could really run and explore. There were chairs to sit on, some toys, and some poop bags just in case. There is also a water dish provided, so bring your water bottle! We will definitely be back. I highly recommend this spot!Candy N.

55What a great place for my dogs to run! I may have missed this info, but when you arrive and pull thru the front gate, that’s the gate you close behind you. The dogs have the run of front and backyard! Really great time. Kim B.

55Such a great space! So much room for my pup to chase her ball and sniff around. Instructions were very clear and the signs were really helpful. The fencing is secure and having the ability to sniff around both the front and backyard was great! The whole space was very clean and well maintained. There was ample parking, toys and extra poop bags. There were even treats for both pups and humans! I already can't wait to come back!Angela C.

FAQ about our Clifton 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 Clifton 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 459 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 54 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.
