55Spot was great, lots of room for frolicking, jumping, and general fun times. There are cows in the neighboring pastures which intrigued my pups, but they were far enough away that it was not worrying. Owners dogs barked at us when we got into the field, but quieted as soon as we got into the fields, and didn’t seem to notice when we came back. Pups are happy and tired, we’ll be back!Chloe M.

55Always a five star experience! I will note that today we could see a what looked like a young bull on the other side of a wired fence - dogs could easily get through.
There are indeed signs that warn a bull lives there, as well as a big private property signs!
I was able to recall my dogs before they saw it but just a heads up. Their recall is good, but not sure it’s that good!
First time we’ve actually seen one, fairly close. This area is if you walk straight for a short while and then to the right.
This continues to be one of our favorite sniffspots. suzi m.

55My dog loved to be in such big natural environment to sniff and explore. It was our first time at a place that isn't fully fenced but we used a long line and had no issues.Deena R.

55Another great visit to our dogs favorite Sniffspot! It is great in every season, currently the grass is cut short so a lot more of the area is easily accessible. Marisa E.

55The most peaceful spot! My dog is super reactive and I still usually have my guard up at Sniffspot. Here I can relax knowing we won’t see neighbors or dogs. There are always plenty of toys, today had a pool which they loved and a clean yard to run in with shade. Thank you!!Kelli S.

55Spot is great! It’s huge with lots of space to sniff and run. It was HOT while we were there so the dogs spent most of the time in and around the creek, it’s great for cooling off. Overall a great time.Elizabeth N.

55Lots of shade and a kiddie pool were just what we needed on a warm day. As always, the pups enjoyed the variety of toys, especially the new jolly football.Ashley V.

55Great time. Dog ran and ran and was very happy. Bring plenty of water, the owner also left a water bowl (thank you). There's poop around the property but not the owner's fault, but irresponsible dog owners. Roberto M.

55Good mix of fields and tall grass with social trails throughout. Small water feature for the dogs to cool off. Lots of grass seed. Glad I brought a brush for the dogs. Get it off before they got in the car. They had a great time!S V.

55We’ve visited Growing Things Farm a few times, and each visit feels like a fresh experience. The way the grass is cut differently each time creates new trails and textures, turning familiar fields into a whole new playground. It’s one of the things that keeps us coming back—my dog loves the variety, and so do I.
There’s a single ditch-like stream on the property that adds a subtle touch of nature. It’s not winding or dramatic, but it’s a peaceful spot where my pup likes to sniff around and cool off. It’s just enough water to make things interesting without being overwhelming.
The farm itself is spacious and beautifully maintained. With 20 unfenced acres, pesticide-free land, and fresh drinking water available, it’s clear the host Michaele puts care into every detail. It’s also wonderfully quiet—no sounds from people, just the soft rustle of grass and the occasional chirp of birds. That sense of solitude makes the experience feel even more special.
Highly recommend for repeat visits—each one offers something new, and the stream adds a quiet charm to the adventure!Lauren G.

55Our one year old lab had a blast running through the fields! The view of the mountains was beautiful. We couldn't let him go in the creek because he has a cut on his paw that is still healing, but we will have to be back so he can enjoy that, too. Farren H.

FAQ About Carnation 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carnation 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 382 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 529 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.
