55This is a wonderful place to go visit with your dog(s). We reserved the 1 acre parcel and our dog loved to just go and sniff and play fetch. All areas are fenced in, so you can feel assured your dog is safe. The property is very well cared for. There is some shade on the 1 acre, but make sure to bring a lawn chair. Our dog had to take a break after only 25 min. of non-stop running around.
Jane was very nice and accommodating, she greeted us on arrival. She allowed as to take a stroll on the 14 acre field which is great for larger gatherings with a picnic area. We are definitely considering it for a future event. This area is all fenced in also.
It feels very good to just let your dog be off leash. He LOVED it. We have a small backyard and dog parks are very restrictive and not very big. The 14 acre field is huge.
Make sure to invite some friends with their dogs for your private dog party.
We drove 45 min. one way, but it was well worth it.
We will definitely come back.
Jane‘s fees are very reasonable.Katrin M.

55Plenty of space for our cattle dog to burn off energy and for our pit bill to run around exploring. A bit of a hike from Phoenix but worth the trip!Ryan Z.

55Beautiful & secure property where your dogs can just run freely. Jane welcomed us and is very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed talking to her about the property while the dogs played. There is shade and water available. I would recommend bringing a lawn chair if you would like to rest. Debra K.

55Jane and her husband are the greatest hosts. The field was impeccable and just what we were looking for to have our 7 month old pup have plenty of room to explore and run. She loved it so much and we look forward our next visit.
Jane was also very informative about dog facilities and events that she shared.
I highly recommend. Kelley B.

55This was such a great space! Our first time using a sniffspot and I am glad we picked this one. The trip was worth it for the amount of fenced land, my dog had such a good time running, sniffing, and playing around. The fence felt secure all around and I didn't fear my dog getting out since he is medium size. I would say that there was a cute black and white dog on the neighbors lot that was barking at my dog and that made it a bit tough, thankfully I was able to entertain my dog away from that zone and there was enough of a gap between the lots that it didn't become a big concern. Additionally two stray dogs (a big one and a small one) came to see what we were up to from outside the fence and that was nerve-wracking since my dog is very reactive. Fortunately they walked away before anything bad happened. Outside of those incidents the space itself is ample, clean, and as private as it can be! I will book again!Angelica L.

55Clean, accommodating, actual flat grassy field! I would have gone for the 14 acre parcel had I known how much different it was. We had a great time! The host is truly very kind and quick to respond.Julie N.

55This is a great spot for exercising your dog, especially if they are high energy and need lots of space to run, chase balls, etc. Or if they are reactive with other dogs. The spot is fully fenced, and plenty secure for our large dog.
The ground surface in the spot is what I would call "pasture quality" turf. It's not lush and green (especially this time of year in dormancy), but it's still soft enough that our active dog can run and jump on it without causing any problems for his paws (and it's better quality than I've found in most other large spots in the Valley area).
One thing to be cognizant of is that there is not a lot of inherent shade at this spot. There is a large umbrella provides that would give a bit of shade in one area of the spot. We try to go when the temps are cooler, but on any really warm, sunny day, it's something you should plan for when using this spot (then again, that pretty much holds true for almost every spot down in the Valley...).
If we were located closer to this spot, we'd definitely be "regulars". But we do still try to get in a exercise visit here for our dog any time we're down in the area. Our dog always leaves happy and tired when we finish our visit to this spot.

55My two pups loved their first SniffSpot experience here! We planned on making this a pitstop several hours into our 15 hour road trip, and the dogs were so happy to get out to stretch their legs. There was plenty of room for them to run, play fetch, and wear themselves out. Since it was especially hot, our host graciously offered to turn the sprinklers on for them to play in and even gave us cold water to refill our dog bowls. We would all (pups and humans) highly recommend! Tessa J.

55Absolutely lovely and had a great time! Loved watching the sky lighten as my dog could run around and sniff. Also, the fences are big enough for a dog's head to peek through which is something to keep in mind if your dog is reactive and another dog is using the other field at the same time. If you want a nice field to do some training/playing with your dog--this is it! Even just a walk and sniff I was there for an hour and that's all we did and we had a grand ol time. Worth the drive:) Siana B.

55This is my first time using the app living out here in Buckeye, which leaves us with limited options, so when we found Gambel Field we were excited to visit! This was very last minute planning on our end, and we appreciate Jane working with us due to the unexpected weather as well, but my 3 dogs had a blast!! We will definitely be coming back again! This is their favorite place now! Mariana F.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience, we used the app, signed up and chose a spot that we wanted. We live in Anthem and have a yard but wanted a large, grassy, fenced in area to just let our 2.5yr/110lb German Shepherd just play ball and run. The field was perfect for us and just what we were looking for, we brought a couple of folding chairs, a cooler and coffee. Bodhi was a little overwhelmed at first but loved every minute. It was easy to find, we received great instructions, clean and you could even hear the cows moo 😊 I would suggest to stop at the travel center to use their facilities before you arrive if need to. Jane replied right away when I booked the time and was very detailed in her reply, this was perfect for us and exactly what we wanted, we will be booking again…… thank you Jane!!Staci R.

55This place was great for any dogs that wants to run long distance and sniff around. I definitely want to come back here when the weather is cooler, my dogs absolutely loves the open space. Make sure to have doggy wipes because they might get dirty from the field. Thank you again Jane! Jen H.

FAQ about our Arlington 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Arlington area are 5 stars.
