55My two dogs and I had such a great time at Poppy’s! We got out there early on a beautiful Sunday morning. We enjoyed the 15 acres and I watched as they flew around off-leash to their heart’s content. They sniffed, explored and chased each other for an hour straight. One of my dogs does not do well at dog parks so it was great to give her a chance to get off leash without me having to worry. We all left happy and exhausted. Can’t wait to go back again!Trevor D.

55Amazing experience and beautiful property! Our dog is reactive and it is hard to find a peaceful place to allow her to sniff and relax. The trails were well-groomed and we had a wonderful time! We’ll definitely be back!Teresa W.

55This is the best SniffSpot I’ve ever been to! Our pup had a great time exploring the property and even jumped into the pond (thank goodness for the hose…). We’re moving to the Twin Cities so I’m sure we’ll be back often for more adventures!Natalie O.

55Poppy's Play Prairie was a great place for our dog to run around. Many different trails and open spaces for him. Great for anyone who wants a space for their dog to be able to run around and play or go on a leashed hike! A great Sniff Spot further out of the cities!Melia M.

55Beautiful place for my dogs to run, they haven’t been off leash much and the trails were so nice! Met the owner and appreciated his offer of the house hose if my dogs took a swim, one jumped in the pond at the end and we appreciated being able to hose him down before heading home. We will definitely be visiting again!Karen F.

55This has become our favorite place! The host Kate is so wonderful! She is very responsive and flexible and it is so appreciated! And she always gives an update if there is something new to be aware of when you book. I have a dog reactive dog, a human reactive dog, a senior and a young Heeler that loves to run run run and this place couldn’t be more perfect! Having the fence keeps my Heeler safe and where he is supposed to be and it is so private you almost feel like you are in a fairy tale! It’s perfect because I don’t have to worry about my reactive dogs and they can just enjoy themselves. And my senior loves to just wander and smell all the smells. Very grateful for a place like this!

55Excellent trip. Varied terrain with trails winding around prairie, sloping down into the creek, and climbing into the forest. Mostly fenced besides the end of the driveway and where the creek exits the northern end of the property. We flushed a flock of deer who were in the creek at the northern end. We'll definitely be coming back, equiped with bear bells to give any deer some advance warning. We passed by the pheasant coop and couldn't see or hear anything inside. My dogs were slightly more interested but moved on easily.Hannah S.

55I brought a full crew of dogs on this visit. The allure of critters and the pond was too much for some of the dogs to come back but for dogs with high enough recall and easycare coats, it is a great experience.
In the summer, the pond is pretty swampy and left a strong smell on the dogs who jumped in.Hannah S.

FAQ about our Henderson 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Henderson area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 133 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
