Pawsitively Spacious Woodland | Just off I-235

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!

FAQ about our Grinnell 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 22 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
