55What a fantastic time we had on our first visit tonight! Violet ran and ran! She was intrigued by the chickens and the tractor that passed by. And surprisingly didn’t give the cat a second glance on our way out. The yard was spotless and we played with several toys but the best part was just having a safe place to
run off the energy of a 7 month old Doberman. We will definitely be visiting on a weekly basis!Brooke G.

55Beautiful area with plenty of room to run! I was nervous that my dog would be distracted by/bark at the chickens on the other side of the fence, but she was just curious at first and forgot about them after a few minutes. The agility equipment was fun to try and we will definitely be stopping by again! Ella M.

55This area is on a hill with amazing views the people can enjoy while the dogs enjoy the space. A bonus to this Sniffspot is obstacles to provide challenge for the dogs! There are also toys, water dish, fresh bottle of water all available. My Great Dane is unable to be at a public dog park due to fear of other dogs. We took her here with daughters dogs and she had an incredible time! Deb S.

55We had so much fun at Skolaski Ranch. Brock enjoyed getting to stretch his legs and test out the agility equipment. It was also fun for me to get to play with him safely off leash outside. 😃 Thanks for letting us come play! Alana P.

55Had a great time with my dog. Lots of toys, balls, obstacles, etc. Lots of space to run around. My boy is reactive to other dogs so the privacy was nice. Only thing I would mention for other dog owners, during the cold months bring extra water in case the provided water freezes. 5/5 fun!Justin L.

FAQ about our Freeport 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.

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.
