55Perfection. That's the only word that needs to be associated with Max's Playground. The hosts are some of the nicest people I have ever met in 46 years of being alive. Down to Earth. Warm. Welcoming. Thoughtful. That's just to name a few. My only wish is that I could have met Max. He seems like he was the sweetest boy on Earth and I think Hank would have been best friends with him. They could have been vermin security perimeter partners! Without going too far out in left field, I think Max is still around in a reality that as humans, we can't access... yet. Although it is a gut punch to not have him by your side, I believe he still is, and always will be. I think he would be unbelievably happy to know the endless happiness he has already provided by honoring his memory in the form of a piece of land that has undoubtedly brought so much joy to so many other dogs. My dog, Hank, smiles so much when he is there that he looks like the old toothpaste commercial with the guy with the "flip top head". Words cannot express how grateful I am to have not only found your SniffSpot, but more importantly, you and your wife. As I have said many times before, I prefer the company of dogs far more than humans. The hosts are the exception. They give me faith in humanity where it is normally broken. If there is anything I can ever do for you or your better half, I'm just a phone call away. Helping you with anything would be an honor, not a chore. You guys exemplify what it means to be a decent person with absolute love in your hearts. I am proud not only to have met you, but now I am also proud to call you guys my friends. I don't mince words, nor say things because I think they should be said. I genuinely count myself as lucky to have met you and your wife. Anything you may ever need, if I can help, I would be happy to. This all reinforces my belief in that nothing is random and that everything happens for a reason, even if we can't see it in the moment. All 3 of us will see you again on Friday, for what will be our 16th visit to Max's Playground. I hope I haven't come across as too sappy. I'm just trying to express how I truly feel and make no apologies for being the type of person who tells it like it is, no matter what. Have a lovely evening. You two deserve every great thing that comes your way. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
P.S. Gotta run. I have some audio/video editing to do for a friend of mine. :-)John O.

55Couldn’t ask for a better sniff spot. The property was well kept and beautiful. Hosts were friendly and supplied us with everything from poop bags to dog shampoo and a hose if needed. Our pup loved running around and checking the place out. Kristina S.

55Best place in Indiana. So safe for dogs, fenced in and the hosts are so accommodating, and truly care about your pet. My favorite part was the sign welcoming our dog Norman. Beautiful area, and so many toys for your pets to play with. Will be back many more times. Scarlett A.

55Each time we come our dogs have more and more fun! This time work got in the way of being on time so with daylight savings it may be best to book by 5pm. We knew 5:30-6:30 would put us into the dark but the dogs really loved it! They get their hunting and athleticism needs met in a way we can’t via our current living arrangement. We’ve been working on their recall each visit which we know is going to be more challenging since it’s such a fun spot for them. Thank you for the gift that keeps on giving Gabriela O.

55I had really high hopes for our visit and I was not disappointed. In fact, I was even happier when we arrived. The owners are so friendly and helpful. They had a fire going, supplies for the dogs (things we might need to clean them up), so much room for our dogs to run…Our pups were so happy; it warmed my heart. I can’t wait to take them back. I would highly recommend this spot. Our entire family had an amazing time! Thank you to our hosts! Sonja P.

55Yesterday we had a Poodle Family Reunion at Max's Playground. My Standard Poodle, Lexi, gave birth to six Standard Poodle Puppies in 2020, and the pups and their humans have always remained close with patties 2-3 times a year. MAX'S PLAYGROUND is our very favorite place! We will return with various combinations of Mom and puppies at least once a month, no doubt! The grounds are perfect for humans of all ages and fitness. I can't say enough positive about Delbert and Jodi! Welcoming, creative generous people who donate proceeds to local animal shelter. Dixie P.

FAQ about our Lafayette dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 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. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Lafayette?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
