55Honestly, we cannot think of anything to improve this Sniffspot! We just love the agility course she keeps expanding on, the newly acquired dog pool, the cleanliness, the shade trees. “Perfect” is how we look at Dawn’s location!Mari K.

55HUGE fenced in area that my golden retriever loved. Plenty of room - actually it’s massive. I played baseball in high school and college and I couldn’t even throw from 1 end to the other. Will be coming back! John M.

55I hate to give Dawn a great review because it is that great of a place and I don’t want anyone else to know about it. Dawn ‘s private dog park is wonderful. It is well stocked with treats and toys and comfy chairs for the humans. Poop bags, water and bowls are available as well. It is always a pleasure to come here and Cody loves it too!,Tracey N.

55I rescued a dog 3 weeks ago. I was searching for a park I could take him so he can run, run, run. I found it at Dawns Park. Once I unleashed my dog, he had the best time. Needless to say, he fell asleep on the way home. Dawn’s park was clean and well kept. I will definitely be returning. I told several friends (dog moms) about this place and hope to plan a play date in the near future. Cindy H.

55Super nice host, left out water and bug spray and goodies! Lots of space to run, pups can get a lot of zooms and sniffs in.
Buggy but the host leaves bug spray out for you. Overall a fun spot and we’ll be back! If your dog doesn’t have recall, get a long leash— the space is open so it won’t get tangled in trees. Madison T.

FAQ about our Summerville 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.
