Description

We have a Pollinator Path and Prairie Sanctuary with Sensory Fun including a Dig Zone for your puppers. We have a fenced in Backyard for you and your puppers enjoyment. The backyard is around 6900 square feet of off leash fun. We have additional attractions coming as the summer progresses. The Pollinator Path is close to .5 miles in 2 acres. It is a mowed path and your dogs are welcome to be on long lead throughout the area. There is wildlife and infrequently a domesticated animal neighbor that might try to join you. Safety is key. I will have long leashes available to borrow! As in any prairie and pollinator area, there may be thorns, raspberries and poison ivy off the path. In the backyard there is plenty of shaded seating on the patio so you can relax while zoomies, sniffs and yayas are being fulfilled. Pookie and Belvedere (as well as their humans) may be in the house when your dogs are here. But, they will keep all their 4-legged fun inside so your dog (or dogs) can enjoy the space.

Hello! Thank you for checking out my dog park. There is plenty of space for your dog to run freely. The back of the property and right side is fenced. This would be a great space for a trained dog to run freely and work on some advanced training. I am still working on some projects to make the property even more enjoyable, but I wanted to open the opportunity so you and your pup can get out and enjoy this wonderful space! I am open to any suggestions you may have for improvements. It is also not necessary to pick up after your dog. I will take care of that. I look forward to hosting you and your dog! I offer a 20% discount for any Military/First Responder.
