55NEW FAVORITE SNIFFSPOT! Totally worth the 40 min drive from forest hill in the city. Huge awesome mowed fields with woods and tall grassy areas for the dogs to tromp through. Didn’t see another soul including cars going by which was great for my car reactive dog. I put a drag line on my dead dog and friends dog for extra safety, but felt completely fine letting them run without me holding it. Great visibility. We did see deer tracks and critter poop so having my girls good recall off leash made me feel good. My foster with a high prey drive and selective hearing will have fun on a 100 foot longline in my hand when we come back haha
Will be coming back as much as possible!Hannah F.

55This place is awesome! My dogs had the best time just wandering around and sniffing every smell they could possibly find. One of my dogs is quite reactive and there was no people or animals around that typically upset him. It was absolutely perfect for my pups! My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!Catey K.

55Beautiful place! Wide open fields & clusters of wooded areas. My dog had a great time here, playing fetch and sniffing along the treeline. I could hear dogs barking waaaaay out in the distance, but it didn't trigger my reactive dog. Overall very quiet & isolated. Melissa H.

55Amazing! So much space to run. My dog is the happiest (and most tired) she’s been in months :)) there are deer and other animals on the property so unless your dog has perfect recall just be wary of taking them off leash. Overall amazing time! I’ll definitely bring her backCatherine P.

FAQ about our Bumpass 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.
