55This is a great yard for sniffing and relaxing around the trees and tree stumps. The fence is tall and very strong so that’s great. My pups didn’t run as much as I had hoped but that was probably due to the warm humid air and the pollen. We got there a little late due to directions but owner was very kind to let us stay a little later.Joy M.

55This is such a nice yard to enjoy for both dogs and humans. Many places to sit and enjoy the spring weather: sitting on the deck, sitting in the fire pit with comfortable chairs and logs, and at times sitting in the grass with your pups.🐶 🐶. A good Sniffspot to enjoy! Joy M.

55My dog really enjoyed himself! I think he appreciated the softness of the grass. It was absolutely a beautiful garden, but probably better for sniffing than playing ball simply because I wouldn’t want to mess up the flowers! My dog loved sniffing and there was certainly enough to sniff!Caroline D.

FAQ About Richmond 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.
