Description

Conveniently located 0.5 mile off I-235, we have a beautiful 1-acre wooded spot for our dog friends to run & play! It's a hidden gem tucked away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. It is fully fenced (4-ft chain link) with 2 private entry gates. Lots of open grass with some gentle hills and trees. There’s a concrete pad for off street parking next to the Little Free Library. One of the entry gates is located down a grass pathway from the parking area. The other is located from our private residence. A garbage can and extra pet waste bags are provided on site. There are even some toys and dog treats! Seating is located on site as well. There is no running water or restrooms on site so please plan accordingly! Also, please DO NOT SMOKE/VAPE or consume DRUGS/ALCOHOL while on the premises. Thanks and we hope you enjoy our private dog park!

Our pups had a blast running around and sniffing here. Tiffany’s place is clean, spacious, and welcoming. There were plenty of opportunities to explore and have fun. It was the perfect stop on a cross country road trip for our dogs.

It’s very clear that Tiffany cares a great deal about creating a great experience. The entrance was clearly marked and easy to get to, the fencing was secure, and the woodsy area made for an amazing time for my pup. Highly recommend- we’ll definitely be coming back!

This place is so cute! A wonderful place to get your dogs energy out lots of space to run around! My Ace kept going for the squirrels in the wood piles!

Great sniff spot for my dogs. Lots of room to roam and sniff, the dogs loved it and didn’t stop running and sniffing the whole hour. The neighbor dogs did bark a lot which doesn’t bother my dogs but a heads up if it does bother your dog.

Awesome

Had an absolutely amazing time here! This is my go to spot because it's so open! There are other dogs in the neighborhood, but privacy screens are set up to decrease contact with them. I love that there are toys and bag at the spot as well! My dog loves to run around, play fetch, and explore the entire lot!

Hi! We are an active family of 5 that loves the outdoors. While we don't currently have dogs, we are hoping to add a furry member to our family in the near future. We enjoyed taking our former dogs, Mitch and Oscar, to the local dog parks. BUT didn't always enjoy the experience they had with other dogs. So we decided to open up our property to others who have had similar experiences.
