55This is my dog’s favorite place to visit. There are so many corners and spot for him to explore and the smells and sounds and sights of the river really give him a lot to take in. He’s calm and tired afterwards 👍
And it’s also a place I enjoy, I saw a variety of birds today including a nuthatch and woodpecker. Very thankful to be able to spend some time in this wonderful yard.Jane P.

55We had a great time as usual! Noticed this time that the gate by the front doesn’t want to latch, but there are bungee cords to help secure it. Such an amazing spot to take pups!Hollynn S.

55The neighbors have a Great Pyr that likes to bark if he's out. My dog is also mostly Great Pyr so they just barked at each other for a while - not terribly distressing for my dog but could be bad for others. Julia Z.

55This is our second time here and just like the first time we had a great time. Being right by the river is such a huge plus because there are a ton of smells. It’s also at the end of a dead end because it’s right along the river so it’s super quiet Natasha Z.

55This is a great little spot! The host does a very good job accurately describing the property and providing photos. My dog is pretty reactive but the chain link fence didn’t bother him much because when he’s playing fetch that’s all he can focus on lol. However, if you think the see through fence is a problem for your dog, you should keep that in mind. My dog had a great time equally playing and sunning himself. We will be back! Maddie L.

55This place is great! Plenty of space for our pups to run around and a box of toys they loved playing with.
Just a heads up to other reactive dog parents that when we arrived there were dogs out in a yard behind the Sniffspot, so if you have a reactive pup, it might be better to enter through the front gate.
We had a great time and would definitely recommend this spot!Liz Y.

55We had such a nice time! Parking was easy and we had no trouble getting in. It was beautiful and so peaceful! Ducks were actually coming into the yard from the river (although Archie sure did his best to chase them off ..sorry ducks!) Plenty of room to run around and lots of good sniffs. We’ll definitely be back!Amy S.

55Nice fenced in large spot by the river for our dog to run and play. There is a dog across the alley, and he barked when we got there but then calmed down and was not an issue for us. We would definitely go back again, and appreciate the toys and water dish left out!Erik A.

55Flawless spot. A lovely garden in a quiet area that borders the river. Pro-tip: if you drive into the alley there’s a concrete riser that you can park on that’s right on the river. Many thanks to the host, you’re doing the Lord’s work. robert w.

FAQ about our Volo 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 Volo 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 359 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 47 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.
