55Had a great experience first time using Sniffspot. Would definitely book again at this place :)
55Awesome yard space.
55The dig pit was a huge hit for our dogs! Parking is a little challenging, but worth it for a full city lot.
45The yard is big and it has plenty of space for the dog to run. Fresh water and plenty of toys. The alley next to it can get a bit rough. The problem I noticed is that there was a condom on the ground. My guess is that the people that hangout in the alley probably throw stuff over the fence. Otherwise this place is pretty good to let your dog burn some energy. Also bring some mosquito spray for yourself. I left after about 30 minutes because the mosquitos kept attacking my wife and I.
45Nice SPACE, the neighborhood is a little sketchy, I must say I didn't feel comfortable and being across the street from the Salvation Army (Residential building) was no help, one of the people hanging outside climbed the fence to talk to me about my dogs. After I asked him to get off the gate he stood on the side of the gate talking which distracted my dogs preventing them from playing because now, they're focused on him. It's a nice space but for that reason, I wouldn't book it again.
55This space was amazing! Our first visit and we will definitely be back. Great space and the tall fences and double door entrance made me so comfortable letting our pitbull run around freely. She had the best day!
55This place was PERFECT. The size is ideal for my 70lb. dog. She had more than enough room to run and the space is very clean. Loved the double gate setup. Will definitely book again. Thank you!
35We were really excited to check this spot out but the surrounding areas are really sketchy. The place seems well maintained but we had to leave five minutes into our hour because we didn’t feel comfortable at all.
55Great spot with a full fence, a sand box to dig in, and even agility activities. I will definitely come back!
55Loved the sandbox, water, and balls included for my dog to play with(: all around wooded fenced. Do recommend this place and will be back(:

Description

Notice: We are closing the spot on May 23rd for maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Beginning May of 2024, we will post pictures daily to our Instagram account showing the condition of the spot. As you can imagine, due to the wear and tear the spot gets, it’s difficult to keep the grass alive. However, we do our best to reseed during the spring. BarkPark sits right across the street from The Salvation Army Freedom Center. This spot is fully fenced (chain link and wood) with the side facing the sidewalk being 5ft and the rest of the fence being 6ft. There is a dual-gate entrance to the spot for a safe entry and exit. Street parking is available. There is plenty of seating at this spot with shade throughout the day. There's a rain barrel filled with water for dogs to hydrate and cool down. We have water bowls available. GIANT sandbox that's great for digging and playing; no digging elsewhere please. On hot days, we do our best to keep the sand wet. Trash can onsite. We have poop bags available in two different areas for easy access. Half of this spot is covered with grass and the other half with playground mulch. This spot is big enough to get a good fetch session in or to just let the zoomies out. We also recently added agility equipment. We hope you and your four-legged friend/s have an exceptional time during your visit and choose to come back. Lost toys and items: Due to the amount of visits we get we aren’t able to track which items belong to which guest. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and hold it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll hold onto it for a week and then add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Water: The dog drinking water gets changed 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature/usage. During the winter months we empty the water barrel. If your dog/s require water during the winter months, we ask that you please bring your own. Food: You’re welcomed to bring food but we ask that you please clean up as a courtesy to other guests. Future additions: We hope to add more amenities over time. Our plans are to add more sand to the sandbox in late April or early May of 2024. We’re also hoping to have on-site parking around mid summer of 2024. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.
