55This spot was great for our dogs! Fully fenced plus toys and water were provided. It’s a smaller yard but we brought our 2 60lb dogs and they had a blast sniffing around and playing with toys. We will definitely be coming back!Jacqueline C.

55The yard was beautiful and well maintained with plenty of places to relax for the people. For the dogs, I was deeply appreciative of the toys left out, the hose with sprinkler and spray nozzle, the water bowl, and convenient place to throw away waste. I have a medium sized dog and a large 90 pound dog. It was a comfortable size for them and they got to sniff and lounge around. We had a great time!Lindsay P.

55The spot was perfect! It had a complete privacy fence and I was very clean. The hosts were kind and responsive to messages. They were generous enough to leave out some toys for my girls and very gently with my very shy dog. We all felt very safe and my dogs had a lot of fun! We really have enjoyed our time here!

55This was a great spot for our reactive dog! The fences are tall and they aren't see through. The backyard was sunny and provided lots of space for running around. I would highly recommend visiting!Marie S.

55Perfect space for our puppy who is difficult to walk in the park or on the street. She’s a working breed and needs more exercise than we can give her in our apartment. This app and this yard was a god send! The fence is 100% secure and high enough that our puppy can’t jump over it. It’s also a beautiful little space for humans to relax! Highly recommended.

55Great place for your dog! Super secure and fun! Just beware if you have a dog that gets easily scared with loud noises. The crowd around there can get pretty loud. Other than that amazing place to take your pooch. Jaime G.

55Great spot! Very private with plenty of space to run around. Benny played fetch and spent some time using the agility equipment. My only caution is that the neighborhood isn’t the best, so I’d come with someone else. Outside of that, great amenities and well maintained!Nadia B.

FAQ about our Forest Park 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.
