55The most amazing sniffspott I had found yet in my area! I had tried Sniffspot several months ago and found not a lot of fenced options or water outlets to teach my puppy how to swim and become confident. This place is gorgeous, private and with plenty of water, toys and relaxing space for humans. Host was easy to contact and very hospitable. Delilah can’t wait to come back and we most certainly will be! Amanda F.

55I would rate this spot 1000/10! We had a great time and it is exactly as described! Very clean and lots of room to run around and sniff. We didn’t see any other dogs which is a big bonus for anxious dogs. The host was very kind and left out plenty of water and toys for the dogs! Would highly recommend this spot!! Emily B.

55This is a beautiful and amazing spot to bring your pups! If you have water & ball lovers like we do, lol, they will have a great time! We booked an hour and a half, they were getting tired about a half hour in! We got to meet the host, she’s so nice and very welcoming! There are some balls and toys there so if you forget yours, it’s ok. And if your pups has to do business, ours did twice, BYOB, there is a receptacle to put the waste. This is a great place to let your dogs run and burn off some energy. We will definitely book again!Cindy C.

FAQ About Cedar Rapids 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.
