55Great spot! The fence is high and provides great coverage. Super convenient to be able to park in the driveway. We’ll be back!
55Spot is great and as described! It was a good fit for my 3 small dogs! They appreciated having sunny areas, but also lots of shade to chill in.
55Great clean space and communication with host!
55Amy’s place is always clean, safe and a wonderful visit. She’s super responsive and kind! My pup loves it here :)
55We loved our visit to Rocky’s spot! It was clean and well secured with lots of toys. We weren’t there on a hot day, but as someone with a dog who can get hot easily but still wants to be outside, I loved that there was a large umbrella in the yard and kiddie pool. We will definitely be back!
55Amy is one of the most conscientious Sniffspot Hosts you’ll encounter! Even with the Cone, Apollo was able to enjoy her spot thanks to her accommodations. 🥰
55Great spot in the city for some off leash time! The yard has a sprinkler and toys! Would bring our pup back again! :)
55Our Akita loved Rocky’s spot! There were many toys to play with, plenty of space to run and sniff, and a mister that was perfect for a hot day. The host was responsive to our questions and kept the space in great shape. We will definitely be coming back!
55This was my first Sniffspot experience, and it was lovely! My girl is reactive and not dog friendly so walks can be stressful. The privacy fence around the yard was perfect for us. The space was clean and she loved the toys. She had the best hour of her life and was exhausted for the next day and a half. We will definitely be back!
55Great communication from the host and our dog is always happy for a chance to run around off leash :)

it is usually pretty quiet. there is a nursing home next door with a smoking deck on the side. they aren’t a bother though. directly across the alley are people who work on their cars and will sometimes play music. but it’s not a nuisance and it isn’t all the time.

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.
