55We had such a great time being the first visitors to this location! There is so much space to roam and explore on this property. The owners greeted us and were so kind, they even put out a water bowl for my boy. My boy had enough fun that he didn’t want to leave and i struggled to convince him to get in the car! We’ll certainly be visiting this spot again!Keely H.

55Great space, private and large. As someone else said bring bug spray, I was there right before dusk and got bitten. My dog had a great time and could finally relax without triggers around. Whitney S.

55This is SUCH a beautiful sniffspot! The backyard is cute with plenty of seating and the hosts are incredibly nice! We booked for my puppy’s first birthday and they left out a little “Yappy Barkday” sign and some birthday hats (adorable). It’s such a nice yard and I didn’t have any safety concern either. We’ll definitely come back!Arden P.

FAQ about our Indianola 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Indianola 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 58 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
