55This is absolutely the cleanest spot we have come across. I LOVED laying in the hammock as the dogs ran around the yard. The yard was giant and gorgeous! And the fence is amazingly secure, I always do a perimeter check because we have escape artists, and this was escape proof for them. Amazing. If we lived in this area we would come here all the time. Highly recommend!Jess C.

55Beautiful space! Easy to access, wonderful communication from the host :) The neighbor was outside with their dog but they were both really quiet, the dogs couldn’t see them and they didn’t set off our more reactive dog. Definitely recommend!Paige G.

55The wooden fence around the backyard was safe and secure. Lots of great old trees to provide shade for both people and dogs. The grass is lush and green, making it a fun place to play sniffing games. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!Sarah K.

55The yard was spacious and very peaceful. My dog had a blast running around without a leash on. It actually tired him out on our drive back home. I would recommend and will be going back. Kentarrian M.

55Unfortunately the minute we pulled up the weather was not on our side. It was a complete downpour. We tried to wait it out but after about 30 minutes it wasn't stopping so we decided we would play in the rain anyway. The yard was lovely and there were nice mature trees that helped keep us somewhat dry. We will definitely be booking often! Thank you for sharing with us! Mikayla M.

FAQ about our Loves Park 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.
