55This place is true to the description provided by the owner Melissa. We enjoyed it very much and we will visit regularly. It’s a good size for any dog in need of vigorous exercise. The astroturf is great, clean and soft. No risk of mud or branches or sticks or wood chips that can tear the pooches pads.
The balls can run a good distance bcz there are no dips in the ground which is smooth and well maintained.
There are benches with tables and very comfy chairs, fresh water and poopi bags and disposal bin.
It is the ideal place for dogs who enjoy serious running with no distraction.
It’s simply perfect! Thank you Melissa for creating such a great place!Cristina S.

55This is our 3rd time here and our dog enjoys this park tremendously because she can chase her balls which run much faster on the even flat astroturf. Everything is maintained well and is super clean. It’s really a great private park and we love it!Cristina S.

55It was our first time in this place. My dogs loved it, even my chihuahua was so happy and playful as she never plays fetch. The place was clean and big. We felt like we were in a dog park but private…. Would gladly come back. Would definitely recommend it to any pet owners. Erika B.

55Great facility. Friendly staff. Clean and well maintained. Water and bowl was provided via a spigot on the side of the building, inside the play area. There was a well stocked clean up and disposal station, too. Plenty of seating. I brought my own toys. I did not bring, or use, any mosquito repellent. There were a lot there at 6:30-7:30pm. I will definitely bring some next time. I feel that the price paid for an hour was worth it. Anthony S.

55The space was perfect. Good floor surface and plenty of room to spread out. I have been looking for a place to practice agility with my dog and this is the perfect spot. We take group classes but if you don't practice in between classes is take a lot longer for both you and your dog to learn.Nancy B.

FAQ about our Kensington 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 Kensington area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 351 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 63 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.
