55Such a nice little spot! We picked up a little bit of dog poop left behind from other users (there’s poop bags and a trash can on site) but other than that this is perfect. And there’s even doggy biscuits!Aurora P.

55Used this great spot again for two dogs this time - one visiting from out of town. They loved all the toys and we even got one of them to try the agility course. :) So happy to have this great spot available nearby! Rachel F.

55Totally Paw-some! Finally discovered this spot from a friend who lives in the neighborhood near the sniff spot. Answer to my prayers! I don’t have a big enough yard for my pup to play in & can’t take him to a dog park as he has ptsd from an bad attack when he was young. I felt comfortable letting him off leash, he got to run, play, use the obstacle course, chase his ball and we just had a blast! Will definitely be back! Thank you for creating this safe place for us to play, we’re so happy to have had the pleasure to use it! Jodie C.

55Lauren was very sweet and patient with me trying to gain access in to the gate. Cocoa had a great time. The space is clean, well kept, and in a great location. Cocoa was able to see the sights and sounds of the city but from a safe, spacious location. I will absolutely be using again. Cocoa had a great time with plenty of room to run herself tired.Monica D.

55What a convenient, secure spot for dog romping! The fence is in great shape, no poo to be found, and a treasure chest of toys. My dog had a blast even in the rain. We'll certainly be back! Chad C.

55Booked an hour in the evening for my two dogs, a 50-lb shepherd mix and a 60-lb pit mix. They chased each other around and we played fetch. Now they’re super tired! I don’t have a yard, so I walk them a lot. I’m always on the lookout for places to let them run around off leash, but I’m not comfortable taking them to dog parks. This area was great! Easy access and secure fence, easy parking also. We’ll definitely be back!Ann H.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot. This location is very close to my house and we will definitely be back. The fence is high and secure, the grass is nice (the dogs loved rolling in it), and the amenities were appreciated (toys & shade). Robin M.

55Words can’t express just how happy I am to have found out about Nola sniffspot! My husband and I live in an apartment with our Min Pin, Jerry, and we have never been able to just let him run around without a leash to have fun and play. We all had so much fun running around and learning how to jump over the hurdle and through the hoop! He also loved the tunnel. Thanks so much for providing a safe place for dogs to be dogs! Sydnie C.

55This is a great spot! Fully enclosed, I felt comfortable letting my escape artist pibble roam around. Just be careful when it rains, there’s some mushy spots and your doggo might roll in the puddles 😅 Will be taking Mudge here again soon!Erin M.

55Great spot! Big and grassy and very fun! I wish there was more shade for the doggies but the underpass was great for my two and me. Will definitely be coming back. Remember to bring water!Kerstin F.

55This is our first time using Sniffspot and I’ve got to say it was pretty amazing. We have two large dogs who aren’t always great with other dogs which is why we steer clear of public dog parks. However, we also have very a small yard which means they don’t get to run around as much as we’d like them to. It was so nice having a large and private fenced in sets for our pups to run around in. They had a blast! There were plenty of toys for them to play with and a large umbrella for my wife and I to sit under to dodge the heat during breaks. We’ll definitely be coming back often!Ryan B.

55Easy to find. There was parking as well. Gate was easy to open.
The grass was clean. Freshly cut and well maintained. No holes or dead grass patches.
There were a few chairs and the umbrella came in clutch. There is no shade except for the umbrella but it give enough for the short time we were there.
Would let my dogs pee here again Joe W.

55This spot was perfect for our antisocial pup. Thanks to Lauren for providing toys, poo bags, ample seating, and obstacle courses. Process was easy, and proof of vaccination request made us feel super safe. Will definitely make this our usual puppy play space.Alyssa J.

FAQ about our River Ridge 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the River Ridge area are 5 stars.
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 42 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 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.
