What people say about dog parks around Hockessin, Delaware

I brought our foster dog for a meet and greet with potential adopters and Snow’s spot was perfect! It’s lots of land for them to run and explore with very secure fencing. Plus they have a larger yard and a smaller yard that makes it perfect for dogs meeting for the first time to make friends or for smaller dogs in the smaller yard and bigger dogs in the bigger yard. She also had a kiddie pool setup and water bowls and toys. Plus there is a playground for kids and a cool tree swing for people. It’s a beautiful spot with lots of beautiful landscaping and plenty of shade. We will definitely be back!

Great yard and well maintained! If you have a dog-reactive dog, stay to the inner yard as neighbors do walk their dogs along the street the outer yard bumps up to. But there’s plenty of space and it let Squee have a fun hour of sniffs and playing

Our two big dogs loved this spot! Plenty of smells to sniff and room to stretch their legs. Seating was comfortable for the humans too! Looking forward to going back.

We ended up coming back to the same spot a second time in one day!! My dog loved it. The rental space was amazing and they left out fresh water for our puppers! Great space to run and sniff!

My dog Colton had a fabulous time at this sniffspot. Plenty of space for shade! The fences are very secured. Humans can sit on the lovely patio while your dog(s) get their energy out. Lots of toys and fresh water too! We will definitely rent again! Thank you.

We fell in love with Snow's beautiful property. Our 3 dogs ran and played nonstop while we were there. There was so much space for them to run and sniff and catch balls ... they had a blast! The property is totally enclosed and provides a large, safe area for the dogs to exercise and explore. It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed our visit and can't wait to return.

We had a great time at Snow’s Sniffspot! Our dog had plenty of space to explore and run around to his heart’s desire. Would definitely recommend, and we will be back again!

Beautiful, clean yard! A lot of space to run and explore. My dog loved it! We had no issues with holes in the fence. There were occasionally other dogs walking by on leashes with their owners past the road, but the fence is secure so that your dog can’t run out. Easy, clear instructions for entering as well! We will be visiting again! Thank you!

As always, this is Missy’s favorite place to go. The host is always communicative, the location is easy to find, yard is well maintained, and there is so much space for pups to run! If you haven’t stopped by yet, you should. Your pup will fall in love just like mine.

Amazing property and host! Our dog had a blast exploring and running around and we had no questions because the host gave us so much information about her property beforehand

It was a great place to visit. Loads of running room. Toys and water were available, too. If you have kids, they have a swing set. Everything was very well maintained and tidy. We will definitely be going back soon.

Really great spot, plenty of space for dogs to run, plenty of landscape features to make it interesting. In early autumn one of the trees does drop spiky things, but it’s in a small part of the yard and easily avoided.

This sniff spot is paradise for Marley. Plenty of shady area to explore as well as open sunny areas for serious ball playing! Fresh water is readily available and seating for two-legged partners who wish to sit. Thank you for another great adventure.

Nellie and Roo had such a great time! We love the different sections of the yard so we can always make sure we have eyes on the dogs but there’s tons to see and sniff and interact with. Thank you!

Just the loveliest place for a sniffer like our pup! Clean, fenced, and lots of variety of landscape. We had a great time!!!

Thank you for providing such a fun space for our pups to play. They loved exploring the yard and there were so many things to do and sniff! We will be back!

This is an excellent area to have your dogs run & play. The host had two fresh bowls of water ready for our thirsty pups. For us humans who have dogs with selective recall you will remain calm & cool knowing the area is completely fenced.

FAQ about our Hockessin dog parks
