55Such an incredibly special place and only 30mins from Nashville. The nature trail is well defined and the pasture was clear. Best of all was the creek though (for our pups). Will definitely be back!
Corie communicated so well also, letting us know there was a wedding before hand but nothing would impact our visit outside of seeing a few tents. Thanks so much Corie!Dylan S.

55Will DEFINATELY be back! We ran late so we didn’t even get to appreciate the entirety of this amazing property - hiking boots were definitely helpful even though all of the long grass was well manicured (my dog loves to go off roading)Alex B.

55What an amazing spot! The shaded walking trees were a sweet escape from the summer heat. My pup and I had an absolute blast. This truly is a slice of heaven on earth! Did see some men on tractors beyond the tree lines so be careful if your pup likes to chase strangers. Luckily my dog was having too much fun to care!Kylie S.

55This place is truly magical! For humans and dogs! My pup loves playing in the creek and running the green way. He is completely wiped on the ride home after all the merriment! The host leaves a little goodie bag with dog bags and treats which is such a sweet touch. We will for sure be back!! Laura B.

55What a great experience. Our dogs loved the property. Our dogs loved the creek we also enjoyed putting our feet in the water. They had awesome seating areas for us humans. They left us a map with a bag with doggie treats and poop bags with my name on it! They went above and beyond on everything. This place is so peaceful and absolutely beautiful we will be coming back.

55This place is so great. My dogs had a wonderful time playing in the creek and running on the trails. I am so happy we booked two hours because it went by in a flash. The grounds were clean, and there was a map left for us. (even two dog biscuits). We will definitely be back. Thank you so much ❤️🐾 Jackie B.

55Oh my gosh, I almost don’t want to write this review because I want to keep this place a secret for myself. This is one of the most beautiful ways to spend the day. The creek is so beautiful and refreshing. Easy paths for those with bad knees and sooo much for our dogs to safely explore.Jamie C.

55This place is amazing! My 3 dogs just loved all of the different habitats from hiking in the forest up a mini mountain, to swimming and playing in the creek, to running the grassy trails or through the tall grass fields in search of small critters. Corie was so welcoming (didn’t meet in person) but she messaged me the day before about the site details. And on the day of arrival there was a bag at the gate welcoming me with included map of the property including walking trails, poop bags, and a dog biscuit for each of my dogs. By the end of our visit, I think my dogs thought they hey found heaven. Will be back again!Stacy F.

FAQ About Springfield 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. 8% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Springfield 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 242 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 411 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.
