55Amazing spot! My dogs had a blast running,digging & sniffing. And huge bonus is that it’s shady with a nice privacy fence and deck with sweet view of the mountains. I plan to come back for a sunset!Emily E.

55Great spot to bring your fury friends and play fetch! Owner was outside on screened porch very nice and it was like she wasn’t even there. Although neighbor in the White House has dogs that’ll bark if outside. Definitely will be returning!Cody D.

55This was a perfect first sniffspot! My partner and I are both disabled and can't run much, this was perfect for us to play without getting entirely worn out. It is a bit of a hill but it's kind of nice cause you can throw stuff "further" in a way for the doggies to catch. Overall will book again!Rhiannon M.

55This is a nice spot! We'll be back! The fence is solid, no gaps or holes. My puppy is small & has tried to squeeze through gaps in fences in the past, so it was great to be able to let her run around without worrying about her getting out. My other dog played fetch the whole time, and had a large open space to be able to do so. They had a blast!Kara K.

55Such a great space for my dogs to play, sniff around, and chase the ball. We didn’t see any other people or animals during our visit (7:30-8:30am on a Monday). Space was well maintained & very well thought out. Thanks for offering your yard, my girls loved it & now I can focus on work today since they’re tuckered out!Ansley W.

55This is a really nice, big back yard. Well maintained and secure. However, please be aware that the neighbor at the back of the yard has two small dogs who barked relentlessly at my dog through the 3 ft chain link fence. If your dog is bothered by that, this may not be the spot for you. Kristen L.

55This is a lovely yard with a surprising view and huge tree canopy that provides lots of nice dappled shade. At noon I could hear the church bells ringing in the distance! My anxious little dog mostly just wanted to sit in my lap (like at home) but chairs were provided and we were very comfortable!Sarah A.

55This is my 2nd time here with my pups. We've been to several Sniff Spots, and this is definitely one of my favorites. The fence is solid and secure, which is the #1 thing I look for since I've got a tiny pup who can get through small spaces. There are chairs set up, which is nice!Kara K.

FAQ about our Marion 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 Marion 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 77 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
