55Great space to let your pup run! I went home with a very tired dog. Be sure to wear long pants and closed toe shoes as the field does have long grass. We will be back! Kendra B.

55This is a nice large field with enough room to let your dogs run, play, and blow off steam. It is also an ideal place to take your fearful or reactive dog or to safely practice off-leash training. My dogs had a blast during their visit.Sheila W.

55Easy to find, well off the main roads, which made this quiet from traffic. This is a place with a kennel on site, the owner and staff will place other furry friends indoors. Made us feel comfortable as my furry pet gets anxious around others. Lot is fully fenced, and has natural high and low areas, and it is best to always walk the area with your pet first. My girl Jersey and I had a blast playing fetch and just being goofy together for over 1 1/2 hours. If your pet likes to explore and run, this will be a great place for you all. Enjoy!Lorrie A.

55Great open area, it was so pleasant on a warm day. Our dog had so much fun just exploring and playing ball. Awesome play time, clean, water available, and the fence was plenty secure for us. Thank you! Maryam R.

FAQ about our Winterset 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.
