55Everything was great. The yard was very clean and both dogs loved roaming around. I would heavily recommend bringing bug spray as we ended up finding a couple of ticks on us but that’s our mistake for forgetting to putting any on.Lily H.

55This is our first sniff spot experience and it was perfect! Easy to find, plenty of signs so we knew exactly what to do, and thoughtful treats and other doggie necessities. My dog had a blast- he’s a dog reactive beagle so we don’t get experiences for him to run free and he loved running and sniffing everywhere. The fence is so secure- trust me, he sniffed every inch and would have found a weakness. Highly recommend for dogs that need quiet space and enclosed areas. Kristen T.

55This is a wonderful spot! It is huge. There is ample space in the front yard for running and playing. The backyard contains an enormous field and a sizeable wooded area. The whole environment is varied enough to suit any dog’s play style and need to sniff and explore! It is clean and accessible with a nice area for the humans to hang out. So fortunate to have this space right here in the city.
The back garden area has a privacy fence which is secure in terms of height but may be an issue for a determined escape artist due a few loose boards. We loved our visit and highly recommend this spot!Marie C.

55Our dogs had the best time here! The fenced yard is spacious with lots of areas to sniff and run around. Very quiet and peaceful when we stopped by. There is a picnic table and seating under a shaded patio which is great for both humans and dogs to cool off during warmer days! We also explored the unfenced area a bit and walked down to the creek. Highly recommend and would love to bring our pups back again. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful space!Cassandra N.

55Signs for the entrance, where to park, and for the trash were very clear and easy to find! This place is awesome, would love to bring my dogs back again, they did not want to leave! Everything is fenced in, due to it just starting to be spring, we could see the fenced in area in the woods. We have one very anxious dog and one escape artist and after doing a “perimeter check” with our dogs on leash, it was very secure. Liliana M.
