55Safe, clean, large area to play! My granddog loved catching the balls and watching the chickens. Very easy to find. You just follow the orange cones back to the fenced in area. Beautiful views of the countryside and places to sit if you want. Water, poop bags, toys all on site.Mary M.

55We had a great time and the views are beautiful. Area was very clean. My dogs loved playing with all the toys and then take a break in the shade of the picnic table. They noticed the chickens but were more curious about checking everything else out than trying to figure out what they were. We will be back for sure!Cindy Z.

55This area is on a hill with amazing views the people can enjoy while the dogs enjoy the space. A bonus to this Sniffspot is obstacles to provide challenge for the dogs! There are also toys, water dish, fresh bottle of water all available. My Great Dane is unable to be at a public dog park due to fear of other dogs. We took her here with daughters dogs and she had an incredible time! Deb S.

55Had a great time with my dog. Lots of toys, balls, obstacles, etc. Lots of space to run around. My boy is reactive to other dogs so the privacy was nice. Only thing I would mention for other dog owners, during the cold months bring extra water in case the provided water freezes. 5/5 fun!Justin L.

55By the look of my tired, sloppy Scottie it was another successful visit. I figured it would be messy bc of weather we’ve had & was nicely warned by host beforehand but it wasn’t too bad considering. I came prepared for that. Lynn D.

FAQ about our Durand 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.
