55What a beautiful yard for our pups to reconnect and play. Everything was clear and as described. Plenty of shade for the dogs to rest away from the heat.Joanna P.

55Piper and I had a great time in this spacious yard. She did very well with neighbors walking by and kids on bikes (something we are working on.) We'll definitely be back!
This was Piper's second Sniffspot trip, and she loved it so much more than her first trip where she was very timid and couldn't really relax.Angela P.

55Great spot! Well kept yard, lots of toys available, plus a water spigot (though make sure to bring your own bowl). It's also on a very quiet street with very little vehicle or foot traffic. My pup happily ran around exploring and chasing the tennis balls they provided. We will definitely be back!Susannah K.

55Piper loved her second visit to your yard. She is so much more active outside after these two vists. So much more comfortable on walks etc. Angela P.

55Beautiful place!! Tons of room to play fetch. My pups had so much fun. My older pup wandered around, sniffing and occasionally chased a tennis ball (they provided the tennis balls to play with). We definitely made some great memories here. We will absolutely be back. Thank you for sharing your yard with us!!Kim K.

55Great first time experience with Sniffspot. Property was easy to find and clean, although a bit muddy from the rain. We didn’t let it stop our fun. Our GSD and even our one year old had loads of fun! Will be back. Jennifer M.

55This Sniffspot was very close to our place. Instructions were clear and parking was easy. Tycho loved the big yard to run free. Owner had chairs and a bucket of toys to play with. We loved that it was an enclosed front yard. 100% would use again. Stacy G.

55What a beautiful yard! So much sniffing to be done! Oso didn't even want to run around (except after a few squirrels) because he was so busy taking in all of the scents.
For the reactive dog owner, this was a perfect spot. You couldn't see any other dogs anywhere, and we only heard a few barks through the fence from what must've been a couple yards over at least.
Not so great if your dog is a digger since there is no grass. But, it's seriously great for sniffing and sticks!Libby W.

55Such a neat play space for dogs who love to explore varied terrain and sniff to their heart’s content. My foster dog is reactive to everything and this space was perfect for him to roam around and check out all the interesting features. For reactive or nervous dogs: it backs onto a fairly busy road so passing cars are audible. Didn’t bother my reactive dog though. :)Anna H.

55My pups had a great sniff-about! Kept them busy for a solid 45 minutes. Great woodsy yard and plenty for them to explore. Bring your bug spray just in case. Danielle W.

55I went at night so it was a bit dark with a tiny bit of lighting from windows and my phone flashlight, but the pups seemed to enjoy exploring the yard! Lots of dirt, rocks, and plants, so better for pups that like exploring rather than ones that like to run through a field of grass. 2/3 of the doggos I brought like exploring so it was good for us! They played and barked and made a ruckus, but the owner was very understanding😊 The gate is a little tricky but follow the instructions and you should be fine. Sharon L.

FAQ about our West Springfield 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 West Springfield 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 269 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 57 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
