55Good sized yard and woodland for exploring. It is near a busy road so reactive dogs will have either a distraction or a training opportunity. I do hope they put up a full fence on the woodland--that would be great! Lisa P.

Large backyard with room to run, and some woodland to explore! | Sniffspot
55The space was great. Or dog is very reactive but had a great time running around the yard and wasn't even bothered by the dog and kids a couple houses away. There's plenty of space and the neighborhood is quiet. Wish we had boots for the dog as her feet started getting cold and ice covered in the snow (after trying to lick/bite the snow from between her toes ). But that was definitely our fault. We didn't get a chance to explore the wooded area in the back so we will definitely be back! Kathy E.

55Great yard! Plenty of room for a dog to run and explore between the two fenced yards and particularly enjoyed having a woodsy space to explore. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Had a question about the space during our visit and Jena was very quick to reply. My dog had fun!Melissa A.

FAQ About Ham Lake 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.
