55The yard is very clean and level, with just enough trees and bushes for a pretty good obstacle course if you've got a zoomie crazed apartment pup like I do lol he loved it! The hostess is friendly and very helpful, I'd recommend this spot for any size dog and you can have all the gates open for the maximum space or you can keep your pup in the smaller part. We will be back! Kay S.

55We loved our time at this perfect spot! The fence felt super secure and there were plenty of areas for my pup to explore. We also really appreciated the water dish was well as dog necessities (toys, treats, poop bags, etc) in case any of it was needed! For some reason my GPS has a tricky time getting me there because it’s tucked away a little but we parked on a street nearby and walked the bike path just a few feet until we found it. Can’t wait to make this a regular spot to visit! Aimee C.

55This is a nice little spot! The fence was secure, they provided toys and water, and and it was clean. My dog had some trouble with all the noise coming from the bike path and surrounding houses, but it was manageable!Emmy B.

55Fantastic spot! The yard is very secure. I also liked that it has both a lot of grass and a paved area so I can wear down my dog’s nails a bit while tiring her out. They also had more than enough supplies (water, toys, bags, even treats!).
I booked last minute and got in and out just fine. The owners did arrive home at one point and opened the main gate, so just keep an eye out so your dog doesn’t run out when someone is coming in or out. I will definitely use again! Kristin T.

55This spot is fantastic. My dog had to leave a few minutes early because she kept eating the grass lol! But as a veterinary nurse this place is safe, clean, fun, and so much better than a dog park. It's her own private space that she can roam. I appreciate you opening this spot up for pups like mine and I can't wait to return!Hill X.

55Good size area for an urban house. I like that there are several sections and nooks for the dogs to explore. After my dog got a good look around, we had fun with my dog practicing "stay" for a few moments while I hid a few treats around. Then he got to find them. Fun was had by all.
*Great* privacy fence. Really the best fence of any sniffspot we have gone to so far. It's flush with the ground. It's tall and tight. Great job with the fence.
Of course, a good privacy fence doesn't keep out sounds. There is a reactive small dog across the way. We didn't see or hear the dog when we got out of the car, but we did hear that dog barking at other passing dogs a few times. One time a passing dog barked back. These sounds did not dominate our visit. I'm just letting people know in case it would affect your dog more than it affects mine. And note that the parking area is right in front of a walk/bike path where people may be walking their dogs. Just something to be aware of if you have a reactive dog.
There's something there for the humans too. The grounds are well maintained and nice to look at. I enjoyed spending time with my dog there.Jeannine B.

55Lovely grassy yard for romping about and playing fetch. The treats, towel, toys, water, and doggy bags were super helpful accomodations! We did notice there was a dog in the house that barked at the window when we arrived, but it was obvious they were in the room that doesn't border the sniff spot yard so it wasn't an issue, even for our very reactive doggo. Overall excellent experience! We definitely plan to come back again!Danielle W.

55Excellent communication from the host, the yard was secure and was plenty large enough for my large breed dog. We were able to work on some off leash commands, get his nose working and the large was large enough to get his zoomies out. Will book again! Em B.

55This spot was great. My 2 big dogs loved running around, sniffing and peeing on everything. The fence is very sturdy and nice. There were a few spots along the fence that had holes dug. They were covered with wood pieces from both side of the fence. My reactive gsd also noticed there were chickens (not sure if they were chickens as I couldn't really see them but he did). They were quiet and I wouldn't have known about them if he didn't see them. There were a few piles of poo that were there when we arrived but I cleaned them up. Neither of these things bothered us and our visit was just what my pups needed. I just wanted to make people aware. The dogs definitely appreciated the treats. There were chairs to use, along with towels, toys, water and a poop scoop/bags. I would recommend this spot. We will definitely book this spot again.Christy W.

55Very easy to access, parking was no issue. The owner was easy to communicate with. I like the access to the whole property - the dogs really enjoyed exploring all the different spots throughout the front and back yard.
There is one corner in the back of the fence that had a small gap - for my dogs (45 & 65 lbs) it was no issue but smaller dogs may need to be mindful. Overall it worked out great and I’ll definitely book here again! Clare T.

55This was a really nice space for my husky puppy to run around in. It was spacious and very clean and I liked that it was sort of hidden. There were chairs, a water bowl and toys available. I will definitely be returning.Alena T.

55This was our first Sniffspot and we will definitely be back. Mostly quiet (dogs/walkers occasionally audible from bike path), completely secure, great place for my challenging doggo to be off leash and build some skills an confidence. Lesley Y.

FAQ about our Springfield small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
