What people say about dog parks around Northfield, Minnesota

Wonderful rural location with friendly farm animals included! Lovely open space for dogs to roam free and run. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend.

Did the trick! Crazy Acres is EXACTLY as described in the listing and there are copious amounts of pictures so you know exactly what you’re getting. Just enough space for my Rottie and Golden Retriever to wear themselves out. Plenty of amenities waiting for you literally in an x-large bin next to the gate; toys for the dogs and chairs for the humans, poo bags and poo containers. Highly recommend. The hour flew by. I love to engage with my dogs, so no boredom here!

Clearly marked parking and entry. And what a great spot! Fencing is very secure and there is lots of ground for active dogs to run, rest, and sniff—ours were exhausted after 45 minutes. Alpacas were just visible up the hill - our pups were definitely interested and checking them out!

We visited this spot in the pouring rain and wind to celebrate our dog's Gotcha Day and still had a blast. Super well-maintained space, fully and securely fenced. Can't wait to be back in better weather!

This place was perfect for our huskies. It was large enough for them to run and the fence was very secure.

This was a great spot for my two reactive foster dogs to run and sniff! We never saw the alpacas. The alpacas' fencing is set back quite a bit from the sniff spot and the hill crests just past the fence line so unless the alpacas are immediately next to the fence, they would be out of sight. Thanks for sharing your space with others.

This is our favorite place to go for throwing the ball! I love the big open space and walking the perimeter is good exercise with a little hill to climb.

All of Jody's instructions were helpful to get us to the right place! There were plenty of balls for fetching and I am so thankful for the hand sanitizer that was also available. The pups had such a great time sniffing and running. We'll definitely be coming back!

This space was perfect for our two rambunctious puppies! The terrain was ideal for them to run around in, and allowed us to have eyes on them the entire time. The extra touches to detail were so appreciated… A folding chair, poop bags, poop receptacle, toys, even hand sanitizer!!!!! We will definitely be back!!!! Thank you for sharing this special space with us and our special dogs♥️

This is a wonderful Sniffspot! We brought our dog and my daughter's two dogs to play in the field. It is wide open... lots of space for running and chasing balls and playing. Toys were supplied including a ball thrower. :-) Such a nice beautiful spot, thank you for sharing your acreage!

We loved taking Moxie to Crazy Acres. The area was well secured and very clean. It was large enough to let her get plenty of exercise but also small enough that we could keep her in our sight. This is our first time going but it won't be our last. We give it 5 stars.

Perfect place for our rambunctious pup to run around, especially after being cooped up all week with the cold weather!

Large big fully fenced open space. If you need a spot for a dog(s) to run and play this is it. It’s on a small hill, six laps is a mile. It’s a peaceful place. Bring your own water. We will definitely go back.

Amanda S.

February 2024

Such a great place! We brought our dog who was a rescue and very protective of his people, things and doesn’t know how to play so we brought my sisters dogs to introduce them on neutral ground. They had so much fun! Now I have a very worn out pup 😂. Thank you!

Meghan R.

February 2024

Great enclosed space with balls and thrower sticks. They even had poop bags and some rags, which came in handy as we didn’t think to bring our own and had a fun play session in the soft ground!

If you need a securely fenced peaceful open acre for your dog(s) to run like crazy this is your spot.

My reactive dog enjoyed the place as much as he could. He was afraid of the traffic near the Sniffspot (which is his baseline). Otherwise, he had plenty of space to run.

Ellie O.

November 2023

Took my reactive dog here for the first time and it was amazing for him! He got to run around as much as he wanted and there was no people or dogs! Will definitely be coming back!

Bridget P.

November 2023

So happy we found this place. Plenty of room to run around and very safe. The owner’s animals and neighbors are visible but far enough away that they weren’t a distraction for my reactive dog. Will definitely be back.

Thank you for providing such a beautiful space for our dogs to run and play. They loved it! We even got to see some Alpacas!

FAQ about our Northfield 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.
