55Merlin’s farm was awesome!! Completely fenced, clean and ready for my pups! They had a tub of water with a hose dripping in it so there’s always water. They also had jugs of water if you brought your own bowls, poop bags, toys, and agility obstacles. They had plenty of seating options including a picnic table throughout as well. Some were under a shaded area. My pups are exhausted and I enjoyed the country setting ❤️❤️Sunnie S.

55Our foster pup loves this place. Thanks for offering it to the public. We got to see a beautiful woodpecker and family in the dead palm tree toward the back of the property. We also enjoy just taking in the nature sounds at the sitting bench. Thanks again! We’ll be back as long as we have this guy. Karen G.

55Really nice quiet setting. Clean and very well managed. My two pitties had a great time exploring. We don't go to traditional dog parks, so this off leash opportunity was very much enjoyed by all of us. Will be back. Sharon L.

55It was our boy's birthday and we wanted him to let loose and run, and he sure did! The property is amazing and the owner was so nice and welcoming. Our guy enjoyed it so much, and so did we. We'll definitely be back.Alex L.

55This was the most magical experience for me, my boyfriend, and my dogs. They enjoyed running across the green plush field while exploring the completely fenced in acreage. I am unable to take my small dogs to the dog park, as I fear their safety. This was the perfect experience to let them off the leash, so they could run and play while I felt anxiety free. You can see the host pours their heart and soul into making a memorable experience for animals. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!Vicky L.

55This sniffspot is a huge 3 acres with lots obstacles that our dog enjoyed hopping through. He loved splashing in the tubs of water and it kept him cool. The field is quiet, nice and clean and there are some curious sheep in the back. Yeliz C.

55Absolutely love this location. It's plenty of room and acreage for our big boy to exhaust himself and there is no weak points in the fencing all the way around so no need to worry at all about any escape artists getting out. Scott R.

55We loved this spot. Very secured and it has shaded areas to chill and relax. Our pooches enjoyed running around and trying the obstacles. We felt safe and had a blast. Water was also provided for them which was really nice. It was a little of a drive for us but so worth it. We will be back for sure! Maria D.

FAQ about our Silver Springs 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.
