55This was like the Ritz Carlton of yards for my dog! There’s a picnic table and comfy bench for the humans to sit, water for the dogs, and a binder with lots of information about dog safety (CPR, heat exhaustion, body language, etc.) which I loved. Lots of space for him to run and play and the fence seemed very secure.
You can see neighbors outside, but you’re far enough from the road that it wasn’t an issue for my reactive pup. There is also a mix of long and short grass in the yard, so it is worth doing a quick once over for ticks if your dog spends some time in the long grass (none found on myself or my dog however!)
This was a great spot! We’ll definitely be back:) Jenna I.

55This is the BEST Sniffspot I’ve ever been to! Clean, HUGE, and so much to do! My dog had an absolute blast. So many personal touches (like the informative binder on dog behavior or the dog water bowl - so thankful). We will absolutely be back! Amber S.

55Great idea! Lovely large yard with a tent and seating for the humans along with sanitizer, first aid, and water. The gardens will be awesome as they grow in.
My only minor complaint is some divots in the yard but it appears that more clearing of the back of the lot may be happening which would explain that. Thanks for a fun hour for my boys Mary D.

55What a nice spot! So carefully curated, thoughtful resources, fun equipment, and more. My dogs ran around a bunch and also relaxed a bunch — best of both worlds. Thank you, Morgan!!Hanna B.

FAQ about our South Hadley 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 South Hadley 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 224 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 23 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.
