55Our favorite spot. There is a lovely mix of wooded and open areas. It is not fenced, but it's relatively easy to keep dogs away from the road by staying at the back of the large semi-remote property. Kit M.

55Awesome spot! Leslie was so nice and the property was perfect for exploring and running around. My dog and I are practicing for shed hunt so I hid his antler around a couple places. Didn’t see too much wildlife! So many smells and a perfect mix of open area and trails too! We will for sure be back!! Sofi D.

55We love this spot! The landscaping makes it really fun for the dogs to explore — lots of trees and greenery. The yard backs up to the highway, but the noise doesn’t bother our dogs at all. There is a lot of shade so it’s a perfect spot for the summer ☀️ Sarah K.

55Our dogs love checking out new spots, and this was a good one! The yard is a great size with plenty of bushes/trees/tall grass to explore and sniff around. It had a good amount of shade in the evening, which was nice given how hot it’s been. There was a water bowl set out too! FYI the neighbor has two small dogs that came out while we were there, which might not be a good fit for barrier reactive dogs. Sarah K.

55Amazing spot! Huge beautiful property with lots of sniffs for the dogs! You can easily tell where the perimeter is as youre walking around. We had two shepherd mixes that enjoyed running free, but we brought long lines just in case we needed them and used them as we walked closer to the road. We will be back!! Sarah K.

55This was our first time visiting this Sniffspot. Our 5-month old puppy had a great time! Lots of sniffing and exploring. We put her on a 30-ft long line since she did not have a solid recall yet. Leslie was kind. She greeted us and made sure we had a good time. Will come back here again! Yihan S.

FAQ About Ann Arbor 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.

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 516 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 850 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
