55This is a great spot! Big, lots of grass for running and bushes and plants for sniffing. My younger dog can exercise and my older dog can sniff to his heart's content.
Be aware, though, that while the fencing is very secure, it is chain link and see-through, and the rear neighbors have a dog. The dog did not bother us or even come near the fence, but it was both visible and audible at times.Kelsey D.

55Another great visit at this spot. This was our first time doing a doggy playdate and it went really well! Both dogs got a lot of exercise and my son enjoyed the play area once again.
The tub of toys and tray of amenities were moved to their umbrella table outside their backdoor fyi.Desiree T.

55My lab puppy LOVED this spot especially the kiddie pool. So many places to sniff and explore and plenty of room to run around and let out his zoomies. Toys, treats and other necessities are available for use including drinking water for the pups. Beautiful space, we can’t wait to visit againSophia O.

55This was our second time visiting this Sniffspot. The dogs loved the large grassy area- they chased each other around and played fetch. There were a few muddy spots from the rain the previous day- so our Lab did end up quite muddy 😅. Val did have wipes to use, which was very thoughtful given the weather.Leela P.

55We had so much fun here! The yard is absolutely beautiful. It has a big green area, lots of corners and plants to sniff, toys and fresh water. We will definitely be back.
For anyone curious about how their reactive dog will do here- there was a dog barking occasionally in the yard to the side. However, we couldn't see it and there is so much space between the two spaces that it was no problem. Our dog is *very* dog reactive. Hope that helps!Margaret F.

55This spot is beautiful. The grass is well groomed and the perimeter areas along the fully enclosed fence add a touch of wilderness within the back yard. Our guy did exploring around the whole area but primarily stayed on the grass with us to play fetch. Overall very safe community, safe sniff spot, and is exactly as advertised from the pictures. Will be back! Steven N.

55The park was incredible! Our 2 dogs loved the space and all of the new smells! It gave our large 6 month puppy a chance to experience what it’s like to go to a dog park without any risk of reactivity with other dogs! The toys, treats, and water available made it really easy to enjoy our time and keep our dogs hydrated! We’ll definitely visit again!Michelle F.

55My dogs loved the sniffspot as usual! They ran around playing fetch and rolled in the grass. The grass is well maintained, green and mostly dry except for a tiny mud puddle in corner behind the trees. Leela P.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
