55Open fields to run, though not much interesting going on, and our dogs stuck to the tree lines for the good sniffs. Great space for recall practice, fetch, or play dates. We did see some barbed wire in the tall brush, so be mindful where your dogs wander. Abbie V.

55Cute yard. Fencing being well maintained. Lots of different places and things for doggy exploring. Homeowner is very sweet and caring. She put water out for hot day. There are neighbor dogs but they were inside and don’t stay out often or for long, Cristina N.

55The yard is so beautiful and well-suited for enrichment! So many different plants and areas to explore and sniff! I did a lap before letting my dog loose and the fencing was secure and I didn’t see any food or immediately hazardous stuff my dog could eat or get into. There was plenty of space for zoomies too, though my dog didn’t fully let loose this time—we plan to come back! It’s also really lovely for humans to spend time in, my siblings and I had fun following our dog around and enjoying the nature. I recommend having some sort of insect repellent though!Rory K.

55My pup had a great time exploring this spot! There was lots of smells along the perimeter and plenty of space for her to run loops and stretch her legs playing fetch. Two neighbor dogs came out while she was out there, on the other side of the fence, which was not a bother to her as she ran up and down the fence area to say hi but is something to note if you have a dog that wants their own personal space kelly d.

55Great space and we’d love to visit again! The pictures and details were an accurate representation of the yard. It was easy to find and clear directions were provided to get into the spot via an external gate. The yard is fully and securely fenced all around, and there are many trees/woods around the property. The yard was completely clean. There were a few different areas/features to keep an eye on if you have mischievous dogs like me… for example, some thicker grass/plants in a few spots, a small wood pile (well organized and off the ground), and garden areas (fenced off). These weren’t an issue, even for my small (10 pound) dogs still in training to learn recall and stay out of trouble. We had a nice, quiet morning playing fetch and running around. The huge oak tree behind the property is impressive and the calming wind chime that sounded like distant bells was also a great touch. It was all very relaxing for me and very fun for the dogs. Thanks so much!!Brooklyn P.

55The backyard was the perfect size for our three small/medium dogs! We were able to throw the ball, let the dogs run, and had ample seating for the humans. They left bowls of water and poopy bags out for us too! Highly recommend!Nikki M.

FAQ about our Ann Arbor small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
