55This is a huge yard for the city, fantastic for fetch and letting your dogs sniff around. My pups raced around the yard the whole time we were there trying to take in all the smells. They had a blast and left tired. There were a couple neighbor noises but for the most part it was very quiet. The fence is generally secure but Mike let me know that part of it blew down in the windstorm last night and they had made temporary repairs with plans for more. The fence at the back of the property is 3-4 feet high and has gaps with wire fencing to keep small dogs from getting out, but if your dog can jump they may be able to clear it. Mike is amazing, very friendly. He grew up with dogs and his girlfriend Maggie works at a local vet clinic.Sergey K.

55First time user and it couldn’t have been easier and more convenient.
The instructions were accurate. The only minor question was entering the wooden gate as it wasn’t clear to pull or push and we didn’t want to damage anything accidentally.
Once in, we had a fantastic time. Everything was enclosed. There were no other dogs or squirrels around. Yard was big enough for plenty of fetch and lots great spots to sniff.
We couldn’t be happier. Our pooch is as pooped and happy as can be. Excited to do it again.
ThanksSergey K.

55We had a wonderful time at Frank's Paradise. It was fully fenced and no dogs or people in sight! The yard is large enough to play a nice game of fetch! Thanks for sharing your snow filled yard with my pup and I. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back!Sergey K.

55Frank's paradise was awesome! We visited in the snow, and the dogs loved it. The yard was large for its proximity to the city, and was more than enough space for our pup to tire himself out.Sergey K.
