55Sarah provided the perfect safe space for my sweet boy to sniff and explore to his hearts content. The grass was thick and green and the garden was lovely. Sarah left out fresh water and a pretty jug with more when needed plus some balls to play with.
She said we could park in her laneway but we found quick parking on the street. Timon was one very happy SharPei. We’d love to be back soon. Kerry S.

55Fantastic! We sat in the shade on the hill while the dogs explored. Dont forget to bring a lot of water and chairs. The grass is cut so you can see smaller dogs running in the field. We loved it!Mireille G.

55There's plenty of space for your pup to run around and play fetch. If you're tired or just want to chill, there's a bench right in the middle of the field too. Just remember to bring your sunscreen, cause there's not a lot of shadows and to consider protecting your ankles with something cause sometimes the grass might be a little tallerGui E.

55I am basing my review on my dogs happiness level. They were delighted to be dogs and I was delighted to have found this place. It’s a brilliant idea. One of my dogs could be reactive and this allows us to all relax!!Leah S.

55Lots of space to run around with interesting features like a swamp/pond, hill with trees, open field. There's a busy highway on one side but it is securely fenced and trees/bushes along the fence line. All in all our dog had a great time!Laura W.

55This was the PERFECT spot to take our dogs! We've dreamed of having our dogs just run free in a field but finding a spot that our 3.5lb yorkie can't escape is hard but this was perfect! We will definitely be returning! Tatyana A.

FAQ about our Gatineau 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.
