55We had our first Sniffspot outing in Nina’s yard, and it was great. Angus was smitten with one of the balls he found and we had a great time playing fetch and exploring. He’s now sleeping peacefully on the couch next to me thanks to our evening romp. And, best of all for me, I could be present with him without looking around for other approaching dogs he might react to. Thank you, Nina!Andrea K.

55Wonderful backyard with lots of interesting terrain for pups. There were a couple of spots that a small dog could escape from but highly recommend otherwise!Sandra G.

55Been coming here for over a month to help get my pups energy out since I had to return to the office. Always fantastic, the only downside is now my dog knows when we're going there and gets too excited in the car! Not sure if I said before, but there's room to sprint and also jump around and even play hide n seek.Kevin C.

55Nina messaged me with this info and it was indeed very uneven terrain. Also, If you need your dog visible to you at all times it will be hard to see them from one vantage point except maybe from the bottom. Shade trees and dog water available. Quiet and sunny and we had fun 😌H J.

55Nice spot - we had our dog on a long leash because she is on an exercise restriction and we wanted to help her make better decisions. Even on leash, the yard is a great spot for exploration and sniffing, she had a blast. Someone had left a collapsible water bowl there which we left.Melissa L.

55This was a great spot! Easy parking and access, lots of different areas for my dog to explore. She was a fan of the multitude of tennis balls to find. Just be aware if you have a dog who likes to eat toys, a lot of them are pretty chewed up. I also had my toddler (roaming) and infant (in carrier) with me, and this was doable in case you’re interested in doing the same. The paved portions are pretty broken up, so just watch your step. Was slightly concerned about the broken pool cover, but didn’t even notice it. Emme H.

55Wonder multi tier area with lots of gradient paths, dirt, and lots of things for your dog to explore and run around. It isn't one flat surface so may not be best for those with mobility issues (people and dogs alike) but otherwise amazing views for you and your dog on a beautiful day! Amber L.
