55The pups had a blast jumping in the pool and running around the pool deck. Love being able to use the hose to rinse them off before we head home! Plenty of grass to run around in and take potty breaks too. Bethany G.

55This was a perfect spot for my dogs. My water loving dog enjoyed swimming nonstop and my dog that wants nothing to do with water enjoyed sniffing and exploring the yard. They provide everything you could need, too! Brittany L.

55This yard has a good amount of space to run and sniff along with the pool! My foster puppy doesn't swim, but she did enjoy sniffing and watching the bubbles from the filter. The hosts have done a good job of shoring up any places in the fence that might tempt an escape artist. Paula M.

55We had such a great time. It was my dog Milo’s first introduction to water and he was curious but a bit scared. He still had tons of fun running around the open area and he loved playing with the hose water when I was rinsing him down. The area and pool was very clean. The only thing was that I leashed up Milo for some training and someone had opened the front gate. They were friendly and waved but if Milo was not leashed up he probably would’ve ran to the human to be friendly haha. Overall we had a great time and can’t wait to be back, thank you!! 💕Katherine F.

55We were so thankful for an opportunity to let our little girl swim one last time before she went over the rainbow bridge- she wasn’t sick, just old and really tired. Thank you for opening your home in this way. She enjoyed it, and that was a huge comfort for us 💔🐾❤️L. “Michele” M.

55we had so much fun! they didn’t talk to us at all (which we love!) and had toys and water bowls for us. pool was pretty warm comparatively speaking. there were a few piles of dog poop we’re assuming from previous visitors but that’s to be expected. Haley P.

FAQ about our Gainesville small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types.
