55It was our first time using this app to find a safe space for Teddy to explore and train without worrying about any of his anxiety triggers. There was a private entrance so we could go in without bumping into anyone else. No issues with parking either - on the street right in front of the house.
They had a spacious yard with a tree in the middle and shrubs along part of the wooden fence so my pup could smell and explore. There were some neighbors on the other side (for a party, I think) but it was high enough so he couldn't see them. It was also good practice for Teddy to learn that strangers doesn't always mean bad people.
There's some concrete tiles right in front of the tree as well so we had variety of places for him to train :)Nancy L.

55Nice place to take your dog. It's clean, safe, well fenced, and has lots of room for the bigger dogs to run. Bring some tennis balls and a Chuck-it; my Golden Retriever was exhausted by the end of our visit.Robert A.

55Our second visit was much like the first - huge space, clean, no mud (!) - but this time we brought some friends. Dogs had a great time... Although the noise from adjacent businesses didn't really bother us before, it's quieter on weekends.Robert A.

55This was perfect for my two big German Shepherds. It's so spacious, private, and very clean! It was easy to just pull into the parking spot indicated in the directions and walk into the fully fenced areas.
I appreciated the chairs available and the garbage can.
We will absolutely be back!! Thanks for sharing this space. <3Lauren S.

55My dogs had a great time here. Everything was as expected and we were able to enjoy our time with no interruptions or hiccups. It was private, so my reactive pup was at ease the entire time. Zaharra A.

55This was such a perfect space for my foster dog who is not yet trained and can’t play with other dogs yet. Totally fenced in securely and so much space! We will definitely be back again. Jessica S.

55Our dogs had a blast! This spot is awesome. Totals privacy, large fully fenced area. Great for fetch, zoomies, rolling around, and training. Parking is right next to the gate, which was already unlocked when we arrived. It was also very clean, so I didn’t have to worry about my dogs munching on anything dangerous. We plan on going back once a week!Erin B.

55Our dog enjoyed her time here! It was a warmer day so the turf was a bit hot on her feet. Just something to note if you have small or sensitive dog like mine. We plan to re-book in the morning hours for her as we move into warmer temps. Clean and spacious! Thank you!! Kim F.

55We enjoyed our first visit to the BAK9 field! The field was spacious and the area was mostly quiet (there were occasional baseball noises from the building next door during our visit on a Saturday afternoon, as well as a plane flying by every once in a while). Our anxious puppy was a bit scared of these sounds, but otherwise enjoyed running around off leash. It does get pretty sunny and hot without much shade in the field, so be sure to bring water and something to help cool off!Sabrina H.

55One of my dogs is reactive due to bad experiences at dog parks and have found it difficult to find areas where he can enjoy roaming around. I love bringing my dogs here, it’s a great size area for them to run and practice behavioral training. Asia W.
