55The land was beautiful. Lots of space to run around and the trees give it nice shade that would be perfect in the summer. It was a little awkward at first since the neighbor was outside and was kinda staring at us for the first 15 min. Lovely place and can't wait to go back soon. Ben S.

55One of the best spots we have visited!! Large open spaces to zoom around, tall grass to forage through, kiddie pool to cool off in, lots of shade to lay in and sun to soak up. Joyce was great at communicating with me with directions and answering some questions I had. The pool is a great addition even for dogs who don’t love getting in them. My dog is normally one to avoid water but kept going back to the pool to cool off in between sprinting rounds! :)Katie S.

55It was a little difficult to find but it was so worth it. I have 3 dogs and it was perfect. They can run free and they also have gates for different sections and a pool you can fill up for the dogs and for a couple dollars they have shampoo to bath your dog . Very nice would definitely recommend Jennifer S.

55This place is AMAZING! Our hounds loved having such a big and secure space that was full of scents. They especially enjoyed leaping and frolicking through the tall grass. My highest energy pup was sleeping in the car. She couldn't even wait until we got home. Felicia S.

FAQ about our Columbia 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?

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 212 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
