55Omgosh the pups had a blast! It is the best grassy area and the pond was a huge hit. Easy to find, I was originally looking for a sniff spot sign, but compared the pictures online to make sure we went through the right gate. Can’t wait to take them again! Hannah B.

55Knew where I was going when I saw the 2 dogs on top of the pillars even without a sign. A nice young lady showed us where to go and the easiest way to get my scooter through the gate. Biggie was so happy to fetch his ball from the clear pond. Hunter explored the area and chased Biggie. That is his idea of fun. We introduced both of them to the agility items. For a first experience, they did well. Lots of grass to run and play and a structure in the middle to give shade. Perfect in every way for our 2 pups.Sharon W.

Bark & Splash Retreat: Ewa's Dog Yard + Pool for Pups & Their People | Sniffspot
55Ewa’s backyard is beautiful and the pool is the perfect height to swim around with your doggies. I’m very short (4’11”) and the height was definitely something I had in mind. Our dogs were hesitant to get in the pool but they eventually did and we had a great time. There is a ledge along the side of the pool that is super convenient for the dogs to sit or stand on. We loved it!Judith M.

55We had our two dogs and both had a great time. One loves to fetch balls either from the pool or from the yard and the other likes to chase his friend. This was the perfect spot for both activities. The host has thoughtful items like sanitizer for the owners and a large bowl of ice water out for the dogs. They were worn out by the time we left. Perfect way to start a Sunday morning.Sharon W.

55We had the most amazing time at Ewa’s Dog Yard and Pool! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was created with a deep love for dogs. The yard is spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained, giving our pup plenty of room to run, explore, and just be a dog.
Whether your dog is a swimmer or just wants to hang out and play, this place is a dream come true. It’s the perfect mix of fun, safety, and freedom. We left with a very tired and very happy dog — and we’re already planning our next visit!
Highly, highly recommend!KIRSTEN B.

55This was my first experience with Sniffspot. Even though I booked last minute the host responded quickly to my text and had directions on how to get into the backyard before I got there. I just forgot to look before I got there. She had water, toys and plenty of places to sit in the shade or sun. The fence was very secure and the yard was very clean after the hurricane. The photos of the property help very much in finding the gate and confirming you are at the right spot. Carolyn H.

55We loved it here! There was a nice walk way leading up to the gate so it was easy to find. Pamela set out some toys, treats, bags, and a little pool for our dog to play in. The yard is big and has a lot of open room for the dogs to run!
We will definitely be back! :) Halen G.

FAQ About Melbourne 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. 18% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Melbourne area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 193 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 260 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.
What is the best dog beach near Melbourne?
The best Sniffspot dog beach near Melbourne is Canova Beach Park. At Sniffspot beaches dogs can generally be off leash.
