55This was our first time using the app and booking. All was so easy to do. When driving up the signs are welcoming and great help in reminders and you are at the right place. We didn't stay the whole time but it was close enough for the first time and our pups are tired. We tried a little of the agility course, which was fun and then threw our dog's ball and tried the tennis ball launcher (that was cool!). The yard is so clean and thankfully does have bags to clean up and water to refill for the pups. It was just a very secure and great place to bring your fur babies!
We will be back for sure 😊Merriann Y.

55Amazing!!! Incredibly fun, clean and organized. Both of my dogs left happy, and mentally and physically exhausted. Tennis balls, fresh water and doggy bags provided, as well as snacks for humans 😄. Obstacles were fun - Bodhi is usually scared of unfamiliar equipment, but had no issues with jumping through hoops and running through the tunnel. Highly recommend!Danielle B.

55Our third visit--as before, the area was clean and tidy, well supplied with clean tennis balls and bags. Had a good time practicing some agility and playing with the tennis balls. My dog really likes the full-size seesaw. :) Nice to have the new weave poles for practice. We'll be back!Mia U.

55I am so happy to have found this place. I am new to the area and currently do not have a fenced in yard. I have 3 dogs. My oldest rescue is 4 and is fearful of people. He is fine with other dogs but because of his fear he can never go to dog parks, doggy daycare etc. We were just told that he has terminal cancer and I want him to be able to experience things that his siblings have. This place has everything and then some. It was absolutely perfect. What a great idea. Thank you. We will definitely be back. Carla D.

55This is a great spot to bring your dogs to run around. They offer a big fenced in yard with an agility course, tennis balls, even snacks for the humans. Poop bags are provided and water as well. There a plenty of trees so it's mostly shaded. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to bring your dogs that's secluded but also super fun. Paige H.

55What a fabulous yard for my pups to play in. Very clean, even had soap and water to wash out the water bowl. Very nice shaded area for the pups to play and be cool. My dogs loved playing with the agility obstacles but most of all loved the tube. Will be back for more fun and activities. My sister with my pups after they ran through the course and chased each other. They were tuckered out before the hour was up. Kelly E.

55We love coming here and have been for a while. It is a safe place for my dog where I can feel comfortable letting him run about. The space has lots of options of things you could do for enrichment. I love to mix up our routine by coming to this sniff spot. The owner works hard to maintain the area and has everything you need to pick up after your dog. Tabitha T.

55So grateful for such a great, safe and clean place for Louie to explore! Lots of agility equipment - hoping Louie will start to use them but his priority is sniffing every blade of grass and sprinting around 😂 thank you for sharing your puppy happy place!!Cassie B.

55I was so pleased with our experience at this location! It is in a lovely neighborhood and so clean. I loved that there were so many extra amenities such as clean tennis balls, snacks and access to the hose for clean water. My pups were pooped after about 30 minutes. They had such a great time. Thank you!Melanie K.

55This spot was clean and well kept. It is in a residential area very close to the road and I was concerned that my highly reactive dog would be bothered by neighborhood dogs walking by. We didn't see any dogs at all! The agility equipment was a huge bonus and I will be checking my schedule to book this spot again!Doris C.

55Great fenced in area for my husky. I took my 2 older children with me and they enjoyed the nerf ball thrower that was provided along with a human snack. Nice change to let our pup run around and not worry about other distractions to make him not listen. We will go again soon. Wendy T.

FAQ about our OldLyme 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 OldLyme 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 153 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 26 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.
