Wonderful spot for fetching the ball, taking a dip, and a dozen farm fresh eggs to boot!! Perfect afternoon for our active dogs.

Fantastic play space for pups. Mine loved the pond and did well with leaving the geese and chickens (separated through a fence) alone which was my only concern.

This place was amazing!! The pond was beautiful and our dog loved the big field and agility course equipment to play on highly recommend!

Dogs had so much fun! Lots of space to RUN. We found a spot to go in pond, that was a bonus. I brought a chair for mom, but there are 2 provided. My ball obsessed dog didnt even look at the ball he was so excited to run and smell. They did visit the livestock, first time they ever saw chickens. My girl had no interest but my boy I had to tell him they were friends. It took some convincing,but he finally believed me. Fence is secure, and that felt safe. Will return

The fence was great- first one I’ve felt very comfortable with in keeping my escape artist maintained. Great amenities and very clean and quiet!

This spot is perfect for your dogs and toddler. Nice shade, ample running space and treats left. I really appreciate the owner, fast communication and always reliable.

What a wonderful space to hang out on a hot day. Lots of shade from a giant magnolia on a quiet street and with a nice secure fence. My dog was comfortable and Tina was so nice to provide a baby pool for splashing around. We will definitely be back!

Amazing 🤩 Everyone got a chance to get out energy (we have no fenced yard at home), poop bags, treats, toys, and thank goodness for the water bowl, kiddie pool, and sprinkler they were so kind as to let us use. Super cute place. I’ll definitely book again!!!!!

Such a great space that was fully secured and we didn't have to worry about our dog escaping. They had a basket of fun toys for us to use out front which was so exciting! The sandpit was a huge hit with our dog too and she had lots of space in the yard to run around in. Can't wait to go back!

This spot was super clean, both gates are open for entrance so make sure to close the secondary gate prior to unleashing. Would def use again. We picked up our dogs poop after they played hard and had a great time.

This is a great spot for dogs to burn off some energy! We had a great time and brought a few toys to play with. With it being summertime I would recommend bringing mosquito repellent. :)

this was one of the best of spot locations I have been to in terms of fence quality and communication from the owner! My dog had a great time and I will definitely be coming back

Always feels like a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, easy to locate, more than enough room for parking, and the fence holds my husky pretty well

Great yard for my pups. Kiddie pool for the pups on the hot day. Definitely would return . Two thumbs up,👍🏻

Diana F.

March 2024

Great place for both the dogs and humans to enjoy! My dog and her friend loved sniffing all around the yard, playing with the toys provided, and climbing on the playground equipment. Bree was very communicative and hospitable, and it was so nice that she put chairs and snacks out for my friend and I, as well as water and treats for the dogs. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

FAQ about our Columbia dog parks
