Joe greeted us upon arrival and briefly told us where to go and offered assistance if needed. Bailey had a blast running and swimming!

Absolutely incredible place!!! Took my 3 huskies for a couple hours and what a treat for us all! So many fun and beautiful places to explore and enjoy. The owner and staff were so kind and clearly have a heart for dogs! Will absolutely return! :)

Although we did see other dogs and hear dogs coming/going, the space is so big that once you’re in it’s easy to avoid. All three pups had so much fun, and you can tell these people love doggos! we will absolutely be back!

The property is beautiful! It’s a great place for your pup to play, exercise, and have fun!! My puppy had the best time. We can’t wait to come back!!

Fantastic spot! The entrance is slightly hidden behind the boarding/grooming area but someone pointed me in the right direction on arrival. Olive had a wonderful time running and splashing in the pond. We'll definitely be back!

It is a beautiful place, large and clean. I wish there were more places like that, so that dogs that have nowhere to go because of their behavior problems can have a good time, at least once in a while.

We loved Luckys! I have a small pup who loves to run and chase birds ... and that's exactly what he did the entire time. Plenty of space and trails and water and open field. Check in/out was very easy, just tell the staff inside. They were also kind enough to let me use the restroom, big plus! Fencing was very secure...I know because my terrier tried to find a weak spot in a few areas lol. Will definitely return, thank you!

We love Joe’s Sniff Spot! Our hound dog gets a chance to be off leash in a safe environment and do her thing! She loves to swim, run, and climb trees!

Gentleman who ran it was very nice! Wonderful area to take the dogs and let them run around and smell everything they could get their nose on!

So much space for them to run around and have fun! He loved the pond. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future.

I can’t say enough about this property. To have 20 acres totally fenced in is so great! The owner, Joe, showed me the east part of the property and was very friendly. There are 2 smaller ponds in the beginning of the walk- those were pretty stinky, so of course my golden immediately swam in them. Further back is a cleaner pond that helped clean her off :) Both of my dogs absolutely loved running free over this much space. So many thing to explore and sniff. I would say that the ground closer to the fence is pretty uneven so wear good footwear or stick to the path that is worn down by the 4-wheeler. There’s a hose you can use to clean off the dogs too so that is very helpful!! I almost hate to give this spot away but I know other dogs and owners would love it!!

Incredible spot!! So much room to explore. This site is also called the Bark Park and is connected to a dog boarding facility. There was a sign indicating we should check in at the boarding office before entering; the staff person there confirmed the park was open for us to use. The fence between the boarding area and the bark park is solid/ provides a visual barrier so that we couldn’t see the boarded dogs, but the sound of barking was audible across the site.

Ten stars for this amazing Sniffspot! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to come back again the next time we are in the area.

I was road tripping from Boston to Ohio and this was a perfect pit stop for the dogs. Wow I have never seen a sniffspot quite like this one. It is a dog boarding facility that has converted an old golf course into private dog play areas. The staff I interacted with were super friendly and helpful. When I showed up, they had someone else in the area I booked but they had another comparable area for me to use. It was 12 acres, well mowed, with a pond and fully fenced. Note: for those with reactive dogs, I did need to pass through an area where there was visibility to other dogs through a fence to enter the space. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back!

We absolutely loved going to Lucky Dogs 20 acre park. The area was well maintained and beautiful This is a great area to take a dog that is reactive. We had privacy and at no time did she see another dog. You could hear other dogs which was a good opportunity for her to do some of her training. This is a great area to let your dog let out pent up energies, to exercise and to do training. We will definitely be going back.

We ended up getting the smaller space because there were dogs using the larger space, but my dog had a good time sniffing and wading in the pond.

This is a beautiful property - we and our dogs loved it and would love to go back. Gorgeous land, beautiful fencing, friendly people - what’s not to love?

Lovely! Mostly sunny with some nice, shady spots -- & a chair to sit in, too. Raven's a major fan of the giant Kong ball! We will definitely be back!

FAQ about our Erie dog parks
