55What a fabulous spot for our pups. It had a bit of everything (grass, logs, woods). They had the best time doing sniffy walks and running full out. We will definitely be back!Kyra F.

55Such a wonderful spot! Definitely plan on washing your pup afterwards because there was a lot of poop in the field (which is to be expected on a farm and was not a problem for us). Lots of room and host was wonderful! Abigail W.

55The area was fully fenced, quiet, and relatively remote. It left me fully comfortable to let my dog run off lead! He had a blast leaping through the field, exploring the scents, and viewing other farm animals from a distance. We can’t wait to return for another sniff. Kelsey M.

55I’m always skeptical about large fenced in properties because I’m worried they may not be all the way secure. Our pasture was 100% fenced in, no gaps or holes! The fencing was very sturdy. So much space to run! The host made our experience 10x better, because she was so nice and awesome with communication. Overall, this experience was great and our dogs had a blast! The hour drive we made to come to Charlottesville just for this was SO worth it. We WILL be back! ❤️ Grace S.

55What a wonderful spot! Our dog Reggie had his best day ever romping out in the field and didn’t want to leave. We appreciate Michele’s generosity as a hostess - especially after we got a bit turned a round and arrived rather late. Reggie says thanks again!Laura K.

55Our dog had a super fun outing on this property. There are several large pastures available. We were in the “Pool Pasture”, which has a nice blend of open grass mixed with trees toward the back. The fencing is in excellent condition. The host is very pleasant to work with and super friendly. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you Michele!! Roger S.

55Our boys absolutely loved pool pasture! Our youngest was really enjoying running the fence line and staring at the cows across the road. Huge fenced area for them to run! Michele was so helpful and accommodated us last minute so that we could get our boys out for some exercise on our trip from Roanoke to Kilmarnock. We will be back if we are ever in the area.

FAQ about our Ruckersville 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ruckersville 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 72 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
