552nd trip here - excellent!! They left a fresh water bowl out, along with waste bags, shovel and trash can - very convenient! The yard is fantastic! You can see horses and sheep (fun for the people and the dogs). They also have a nice porch you're allowed to use - came in handy yesterday as it was cooler than expected. I love coming here and I'm so thankful they offer a membership - great yard!!!!!!sara m.

55We had a blast visiting Erica’s farm! It’s fully fenced in, and Erica is so thoughtful and leaves out fresh water for the pups and a trash bin with poop bags. It was our second time visiting, and is quickly becoming one of my pup’s favorite places to visit. We all enjoyed seeing the sheep and horses too. Chelsea H.

55Lovely spot with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff. My girls had a great time playing and exploring and we will likely be back.
There is some traffic noise from the highway and a small dog may be able to get out of the fencing by going under the three season room. Catherine S.

55What a great backyard for a dog to explore! Our rescue had never been off-leash with us and loved it here. Plenty of room and lots of variety to explore with bushes, trees and lawn surrounded by secure 4 foot fencing. Highly recommended.David S.

55This is an idyllic yard with views of a placid horse in a nearby paddock and the sound of the owner's goats. Different areas to explore in a grassy yard with a bit of woods on the edges. Easy to park. Poop bags and trash were easy to find. Great spot!Maria B.

FAQ about our Harvard 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.
