Thank you again!!
55Beautiful, big safe space for your dog. It's an open, iron fence, so if your dog reacts to dogs being walked by, you might want to keep an eye out for that. We'll definitely be back. Easy to park on the street.Stephanie D.

55Allyson’s yard is absolutely beautiful! our dog has so much fun that she’s already asleep in the car and we left just minutes ago. No other visible dogs during our visit (in case that’s a concern for you), and there were some chickens a couple of doors down. We had a lovely time abd will be back soon!Julie B.

55Allyson’s yard was beautiful and we were able to park right in front of it for easy access. My dogs really loved playing around in the yard! Occasionally, people and other dogs walked by if you worry about that. However, the yard was large enough that you could get around a corner until they pass. We heard chickens and there was a small dog barking behind a fence but not in view. We will definitely book again! Thank you to the host!!! Lindsay P.

55My reactive pup and I loved Payton’s Playground! It was so good for him to run around without having to see people or dogs. The train was loud when it passed, but it didn’t seem to distract him from running around. Also love the little agility sets! Kristen H.

55This place is great, especially if you want to train your pup on agility items in an outdoor space! Street parking was easy and staff were super nice and helpful!Rebecca S.

55This place is so cute!! Really clean and lots of things for our dogs to play on. It was a little tricky getting in but Tara was super quick to respond and help. It is right under the train so if you have sensitive pups it can be loud. Otherwise I highly recommend, we will definitely be coming back! Lucy W.

55We had such a great time and our dogs loved this little gem in the city! The train is a little loud if your dog is sensitive to that, but overall it’s fantastic, super clean, fully equipped, with easy neighborhood street parking within a block or so. We’ll definitely be coming back!Sarah F.

FAQ about our Michigan City 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Michigan City 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 188 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 25 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.
