55Perfect spot to tire my dog out before heading out on a 2 day drive. Plenty of toys and amenities. A little mud, but there are spots to clean your dog. My athletic dog had plenty of room to play fetch and run. Brooke S.

55This place is amazing, they have toys, baths, shade and pools to fill up. I am a little nervous with some of the holes just because a dog can get injured if they are running fast but overall a great place and would definitely come again!Courtney C.

55Fantastic spot! Plenty of room to run and lots of toys to play with. My pup had a blast. There were shaded areas in each spot to sit and take a break. I really appreciated the bath area to rinse off after my dog got a little muddy from jumping between the kiddie pool and the dirt. We will definitely be back!Beth K.

55This was the best thing I could have done for my very active Ridgeback! Marvin’s Sniff Spot was easy to locate, set back on a quiet back road (off a 64 in Manatee County) there were 2 large fully fenced areas that had grass and a sand area for digging, or what my dog likes to do, roll in it! There was another smaller area and a long narrow area as well. All fenced, all with access to water and shade. River did not know what to do at first when he realized he had full access to the large lot with no interference! This is a great way for our furry friends to release pent up energy and be themselves in a safe environment without stranger dogs and owners. I want to thank Marvin’s Sniff Spot for creating and sharing this wonderful environment for us all to use! We will definitely be back!
The fee was beyond reasonable!
River is passed out snoring! Now I can get the things done that I need to! lol.
Ps. Don’t forget to bring your “poop bags” Sigrid S.

55Great spot! Very easy to find, quiet, well maintained land and lots of space to zoom! My 6 month old puppy had a great time sniffing the different pastures and playing with his ball. There were toys available from host as well including many tennis balls and a chuck-it. We didn’t use the kiddie pools on this trip but they were available and clean - would come back to use in summer! Plenty of shade as well. Fencing was secure. Highly recommend!Sarah G.

55This is our second time to this Sniffspot. It is by far our favorite—we drive from Tampa to bring our pup there! So much space to run around and play. It is incredibly clean and well maintained. The fencing is extremely secure. Our pup always has the best time—we will most definitely be back! Sarah M.

55This spot is great. Clean, nice amenities, secure fencing and gates, toys, rain shelters and kiddie pool for splashing. We appreciated a hose setup for washing down before leaving. The setup allows you to pull up and use the reserved acreage without feeling like you are disturbing the host. While there was another dog in view briefly from a neighbor, the yard was set back and fenced separately leading to no issues or shared fence line. We had reserved access to all three acreage runs and the whole area was included in the booking. Thanks for a fun morning!Molly D.

55Visited our first sniff spot yesterday. Absolutely loved Marvin’s spot! My very fearful and reactive dog Winston enjoyed running free, exploring, digging, and playing in all the pastures. It was a very positive experience for him. We brought our own toys but there were plenty of toys available on site. My dog left happy as can be and exhausted. Thank you for sharing your property!! We will definitely be back!!Sierra M.

FAQ about our Bradenton 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. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Bradenton?
There are 99 small dog parks in the Bradenton area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
