55Easy enough for my first time using sniffspot. I would CAUTION the road can be pretty busy and parking on the easement made me a bit uncomfortable. Also, my border collie ran straight through the entry gate (30lb dog) and my rott got her head stuck trying to follow. I managed to get it unhooked with a little patience but it wasn’t the easiest thing with a blockhead stuck and causing tension. It’s a nice yard and they have plenty of toys for your dog to use. Yes, there was dog poop. But it was the kind of dog poop you only find by stepping in it — nothing glaringly obvious and it’s a popular spot so unavoidable. There was water for the dogs to drink and the dogs had a blast.Katarina C.

55Great and clean space! Easy to find. The neighbor does have a dog, there is a fence but just beware if you have a dog that is scared of other dogs 😊Sierra D.

55Great, clean place to let the dogs run! It was nice to have grass and no mud. The dog next door was out and very visible from the space. It was quiet and a non issue for our dogs but something to consider for people with reactive dogs. We hope to be back soon! Katie S.

55My dog and I had a great time. The yard was very clean. We had a fresh snow and my doggo loves to roll in the snow, so I think he left even cleaner than he was when we arrived. Much better than a muddy dog park. My dog had a blast sniffing and exploring the nice big yard. We will definitely be coming back! Deb E.

55This is a great spot. So much room for pups to run around and lots of exciting places to sniff. It's safe and fully fenced.
There is a neighbor dog in the next yard who came up to the fence to say hi, but then observed from a distance the rest of the time.
We highly recommend it!Andrea A.

55We had the absolute best time here. The yard is gorgeous and pretty well any dog’s dream. It is very spacious so plenty of room for zoomies and fetch. The grass is lovely and there are plenty of shade trees for the pups to roll around and lay under. The chairs and tables and patio area was a really big plus for us as we had some food and treats with us. Entering and exiting the property was very easy and straight forward. Great location and set up. We will definitely be back again!Chelsea B.

55This was my first experience with a Sniff Spot and it was great! Yard was amazing: soft green grass, fenced, private, water bowl/water, toys. My pup had a blast chasing the ball and frisbee. Thank you so much for sharing your yard and thank you for this awesome app!Lisa C.

55Great sniff spot! Dogs had a blast, lots of space to run around. Be aware if you have barrier aggressive dogs - that there is a pup who lives next door and is visible through the fence when he is outside, but it is very quiet and well behaved :) sprinkler was SO much fun for the pups. Will 100% be coming back!Taryn R.

55I met a friend of mine here so that our dogs could play together. They had such a great time running around, splashing in the doggy pool, and just laying in the sun. I think we'll both be back! Allyssa R.

55It was wonderful! Our dog had a great time, and even though he is a husky that loves to escape, we felt pretty comfortable with how secure the backyard was. Cannot wait to bring him back here! Mrinalini S.

55This was our first time using Sniff Spot and Romy LOVED it!!! As a hound she surveyed the entire perimeter for smells and ways out. She found lots of good smells, but no way out! We will definitely be back. Michelle M.

55Northvale Private Dog Park in Boulder was amazing for our first Sniffspot experience. The yard was clean and had a great patio with lots of options. Toys, great landscape…Pangaea loved the running space. Kristy was quick to respond to messages. Just an overall great time! Thank you Kristy for giving us a spot to hang when we are out of town. 💚💚💚 Laura Jean

55My pup spent the majority of the visit sniffing around and it tired him out quick! His favorite attraction was the big tree in the corner. Plus we didn’t see or hear any other dogs! Overall, great visit 😊Cailyn S.

55Easy to find, chairs to sit in, and a really great location in Boulder. My puppy loved rustling in the leaves, finding big and small sticks, and sniffing around the big tree in the corner. Was clean enough for me to feel safe letting him wander without me hovering (minus one poop bag left behind by a previous visitor that I had to wrestle away from him). Awesome play time experience.

FAQ about our Boulder 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?

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 212 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 25 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
