What makes a great private dog park?

 

I’ve been thinking about this lately.

As more private dog parks pop up, I keep wondering what actually makes one great — not just usable, but the kind of place you’d go back to again and again.

For me, fencing matters. Not just technically fenced, but secure enough that I’m not scanning the perimeter the whole time.

Shade matters too. I didn’t realize how much until I visited a wide-open field on a hot day and spent more time worrying about overheating than enjoying the space.

And honestly? Parking. Easy access. Not feeling like I’m trespassing when I arrive.

Some people probably care most about acreage. Others might care about agility equipment, trails, or water features. I’ve heard from people who just want a quiet yard where their dog can decompress without an audience.

I tend to notice the little details — the gate latch, the slope of the land, and whether I can relax within the first five minutes.

I don’t think there’s one formula.

I think a “great” private dog park is the one that fits the dog using it.
