55Our GSP loved sniffing along the trails. It was a great opportunity to work on his recall training and even with the distractions, he did well. Hoping more trails will be open during our next visit. We'll definitely be back. Laurie M.

55We had a great time this morning at this location. All the amenities were as listed. Our GSP ran and ran and ran. He looked so happy having the freedom to run and chase his ball.. his obsession.
I'm sure we'll be back.. just wish it was a little closer to home. Laurie M.

55My dog Winona loved it! You can tell that Jacqui really put a lot of thought and care into making sure everyone who visits has a positive experience. Trails are well-maintained, the free “stick library” is super-cute, and there’s lots of nooks and crannies for your dog to get all of their sniffs in. We even got to see some chickens and meet the donkey. We’ll be back for sure.Natalie B.

55Amazing spot! Most sniff spots I've been to are just open fields or yards, so having trails to walk around was a really great addition. I wasn't sure how my dog would react to the animals so I just kept her on leash whenever we could see them and she got to run around off leash on the trails farther away. We will definitely be back!!Shannon B.

55Thank you Jacqui!! I take my dogs out for beach, park, forest trips 3x a week every week. I don’t expect much but to allow my dogs to live their best lives. This exceeded my expectations. My two Shiba Inus had a blast! Their favorite was your adorable donkey. We will be back. Jessica B.

FAQ About Marengo 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?
