55Everything was as described
55It was a great Sniffspot with thoughtful accommodations for us :)
55Very clean, good fencing, Plenty of shade & seating. Easy to get to. My pup had a great time.
55Awesome yard!
55We had such a blast at the BarkYard. They provided plenty of water, toys and snacks. Even provided extra bags if needed. The location had alot of space, decent parking, and there were no hazards that interfere with our visit. If you have dogs that like to roam and eat grass be a bit careful, there are plenty of it along the gates so if they wander too much it could be troublesome. I will definitely be back!
55Big yard for running. Clean with toys and treats. We will visit this spot again.
55Amazing
55It’s a great space with lots to sniff!
55Beautiful morning to run around sniffing. Clean and secure and fun!
55Much needed fun outside today in the shade. Ira loves the treats and toys and sniffing the wood piles!

Wunderland Private Dog Park In Southfield

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to our “back 40,” featuring an evergreen alcove, a small wooded walking path, lots of room to run, and tons of sticks to play with. For the humans we have a picnic table and chairs for relaxing, along with a Little Free Library! The bungee cords on the gate are to help secure it, feel free to use them if you feel the need. NOTE: We now have dog-safe drinking water from our rain barrels. There is a blue hose on the ground at the fence, just turn the knob for water. 💧 Special note for June and July: it’s mulberry season, and boy have we got ‘em (fortunately they are not toxic to dogs). Please note that our parking spot and part of our Sniffspot are covered by mulberry trees, so you *will* get berries on your shoes. Dress accordingly! 👍🏼
