55Thank you for sharing your yard with us. It was full of enticing scents and had plenty of room for games of chase. Mattie and Amos loved it. We are visiting from Warren MI for the day. We will be back again. Noel S.

55I just had a lovely visit at Cristy's with my 2 dogs. We had a long day and her yard was the perfect size to get the zoomies out without being too big for me to retrieve the "missed" ball. There were two seating areas for me to relax and watch the action. Cristy brought out fresh water for my doggos. It was a clean safe yard with lots of areas to sniff. Overall, it was a fantastic sniff spot, and we will definitely be back again!Sara G.

55Well-maintained yard with a gently sloping hill near the back, with secure chain link fence and gates. Trash bin conveniently located at the entry/exit gate. Clear view around the yard allows for quick spotting of approaching animals/people (which did NOT happen during our visit, but something I always take into consideration). Great space for playing fetch with a big dog!Autumn B.

55This place was great! My dog and my parents’ dogs had a blast. It was big enough for them to have plenty of space to run and play while also not being so big we couldn’t keep an eye on them. Emma M.

55Just as listed!
Not a great spot for reactive dogs as there’s quite a bit of dog traffic in the neighborhood, but otherwise a nice big open area for dogs to explore and play. The owner was very kind and made sure everything was ok when we were surprised by a stray dog Charlotte S.

55Wonderful spot for my two large dogs, plenty of space to run around and not a lot for my mischievous 1 year old to get into. After an hour here, they were both successfully tired out! Fence was secure all the way around and only one dog+family walked past and they were quite a bit away. Definitely planning for our next visit! Ashley M.

FAQ about our Ypsilanti small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Ypsilanti?
There are 215 small dog parks in the Ypsilanti area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
