Maplewood Private Farm Dog Park (5-acres)

Welcome to our Private Farm Dog Park -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near Battle Creek, just minutes from I-94 and McKnight. The property sits among rolling hills, mature trees, wooded trails, open field space, and natural wildlife scents, giving dogs a private place to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from crowded dog parks. The fenced play area is approx. 60 ft x 100 ft and is great for off-leash play, fetch, tug, and burning off energy. I recently added a 7 ft spring pole for dogs with high energy, strong tug drive, or pups who simply love tugging. Fenced area makes a great small dog park. For a good visit, I recommend spending the first half of your time in the fenced area, then leashing your pup(s) for a slower sniff walk around the rest of the property. Recommended tour: From the fenced area, use the small back gate and veer slightly right into the woods toward the back cul-de-sac area for a private walk among the trees. Then loop back toward the campsite, turn toward the barn and walk around it, then take the trail north through the more wooded section, which is usually the best area for sniffing and exploring. There is also a large open field on the other side of the driveway -- my favorite spot -- where young aspen trees whisper on windy days. It is a peaceful place for dogs to roam and sniff, but it is also relaxing for humans who just want a little quiet, fresh air, and time in nature while their pups explore. The full property is not fenced, so long leashes are ideal outside the main play area. Dogs with good recall may enjoy more freedom, but please use your judgment -- you know your dog best. In general, the wooded areas are likely part of my property, and I included a map in the photo album to help with boundaries. As a dog lover and builder, I’m always improving the space with more enrichment features and amenities. This spot is especially great for dogs who need space and privacy, working breeds with energy to burn, training or confidence-building, or owners who simply want a quiet place where their dog can be a dog. Future upgrades include agility-style features, shade, a comfy campfire area, and a cleaner water-play area with sprinklers and a kiddie pool. I recently opened (May 2026) this Sniffspot and welcome feedback as I keep improving the space for dogs and their people. 🐾 🐾 Valeng and friends 🐾 🐾
