55So much space to run! This was a great stopover on our road trip through the Midwest so that Zoey could stretch her legs. The host was very accommodating with our travel schedule, and the weather was beautiful! Marissa K.

55This was our first ever Sniff Spot adventure. The two doodles had a wonderful time. I have a fenced in yard so know how relaxing it is to be able to play without worrying about escapees. The yard was much larger than mine, however and the fence even stronger. There were good directions for use of the optional pool, the shed with toys and general care. Very useful and clear directions. Loved having the shade on the perimeter and then sunshine in middle. Appreciated fresh water from the well, umbrellas for shade and ease of getting in and out. Definitely plan to return. Raandi S.

55This sniff spot was amazing! It was big, with plenty of room for my dog to run full speed, which he doesn't get to do a lot and I could tell he really enjoyed. I also was worried on my way there about ticks, but a spray was provided! There was plenty of water and toys as well, which was amazing because my dog always prefers a "new" toy to ones he already knows. We will definitely be visiting this spot again!Miranda O.

55Beautiful area with a fence secure enough to keep in our little escape artist. Water, bug, and tick spray was also provided. We will definitely be back! Adrienne R.

55This is quite possibly the best Sniffspot we’ve been to! What a dream of a backyard. It was very clean and the boys had so much fun running around. The pool is such a cool addition and I wish my dog liked swimming! Maddie S.

55Another wonderful PALS Park! Plenty of space to run if you have an active dog (not us) and a box of toys to use! We really appreciated the bug spray at this time of year and the fresh water for dogs. This Sniff Spot has all that you could want: open sunny areas to run and shady areas with trees and some underbrush to sniff and poke around in. They even provide people chairs. We will definitely be back!Angela G.

55We have a large mastiff and it was great to have lots of space and high enough fence for him. Our dog is not one to play fetch but plenty of toys to have fun with and we really appreciated fresh water for drinking on hot days + and bug spray for pups and people!Emily B.

55The size of the space is perfect for my dog to run freely and really stretch his legs—tons of room for zoomies and playing fetch. The area feels very safe and well-maintained, which gave me total peace of mind letting my pup off leash.
The highlight, though, is definitely the stock tank filled with cold water. It was such a treat on a warm day—my dog jumped in right away and didn’t want to get out! It's such a thoughtful touch and makes this spot stand out from othersTenzin R.

55Wonderful spot! Plenty of sun and shade, with seats, and fencing was very secure. It was a bit buggy (reasonably so for the middle of summer), but they had multiple forms of bug spray out and available for our use. Beni T.

55Wonderful and peaceful experience for me and my dogs, so glad they got to run some energy out, plenty of space and fresh cold water to keep the pups hydrated on this hot August day. Can’t recommend enough, will be back soon!Meghan C.

55This place is quickly turning into one of my favorite spots to go, although my dog's excitement is unmatched. Every time we visit, there are new upgrades and features. Anything we could possibly need from bug spray, toys, pet first aid kit, a pool with towels provided. This is our new monthly tradition. Highly recommend. Angi O.

55Super cute space. It was a little buggy, especially as you get into the trees. But what else do you expect in late July! The hosts were very thoughtful to give water for the dogs and bug spray and the grass was well-maintained. The supply station was a little dirty but nothing too bad! Estrella had a great time!

FAQ About McFarland 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?

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. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the McFarland 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 69 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
