55Such an interactive and large space for the dogs to run and sniff! A few trails through the woods with a creek and lots of grass and prairie paths to explore. The pond was also full of frogs and the dogs splashed around! Shelby P.

55The perfect place to sniff, run, and explore! It has plenty of open field to run, acres of woods with a creek, pollinator mazes with paths to walk through and sniff, and more. Friendly hosts too. We can’t wait to go back! Valerie H.

55This spot was great! Plenty of wide open space for the dogs and I too run. We could hear the owner’s dogs barking from inside but there was plenty of room for us to avoid the house and play far enough away that it didn’t bother my dogsJames C.

55The people were super nice and respectful of boundaries with my dogs. Heads up though if you don’t like muddy dogs there are plenty of muddy puddles here after the rain. Our pups had the time of their life in the puddles! Anna T.

55We had a great time with our dog here. She splashed in the creek, ran around in the open space, and did so much sniffing!When we arrived, the owner came out to greet us, show us around, and tell us about important information about the property. We will definitely be back. Ellie H.

55We had SO much fun at this spot! We spent almost the whole hour exploring the woods and playing in the creek bed, but there are plenty of little trails and open spaces to explore too. The property lines were pretty clear so we felt very comfortable letting our pup off leash since he has good recall. We can’t wait to come back! Ellen H.

55Awesome sniff spot. My doberman had plenty of room to run and it was a great value , for the amount of space. The host was prompt getting back to me , there was toys and a beautiful pond unfenced out front , The fencing inside the sniff spot was great and kept my doberman inside.

55My dogs loved it! We didn’t utilize the pond portion because it was a little chilly outside but very nicely sectioned off. Easy to find and access, and close to Groovy Plants Ranch for a little dog friendly excursion afterwards! Courtney S.

55Definitely a must use! Went here during the total eclipse so the dogs had an escape from the Columbus chaos. They had a blast (and so did the humans). The yard was pretty quiet from distractions (highway noise wasn’t bad and not an issue for our dogs). There is plenty of running space for some fetch and puppy surfing! Dogs are definitely tuckered out from playing and full of happy faces (see after play picture).Katelyn D.

55My girls had such a great time here! The play area is large enough to tired out my two Rottweilers. They had the best time sniffing around the trees and watching the chickens. Lots of toys available. Plenty of seating to relax and watch the dogs play. The pond is beautiful. Will definitely be returning!Erin J.

55The space is great! Lots of room for the dogs to run, toys to play with and other stuff around too. It’s a kennel - so your dogs will pick up that there are other dogs nearby, but the host does a great job of keeping them at bay [ I have a reactive pup so this is important ]. Brittany F.

55Fully fenced 2 acres, there is a pond but the fence blocks it so it’s safe for dogs not familiar with water sources such as ponds and lakes. Lots of running room!! I think an hour was perfect for our two girls!! They loved it! Michelle W.

55This was a great large area to hang out at! There is not a gradual entry to the lake so we didn’t get to enjoy that as much as I anticipated, and the highway is right there so I wouldn’t recommend for noise-timid dogs, but there was plenty of shade and room to play.Kaitlyn S.

55We had a fun time at this hidden gem! We picked this spot for the water and was not disappointed. There was even a grassy area where we were able to play fetch (bring your own toys) and get a good run in for the dogs when they weren’t swimming. Especially since it’s warming up, I’d say to make sure your pup has fresh drinking water. The area was secure even though it’s right off the highway and we felt safe. Cons: we couldn’t find a trash bin for poop bag disposal, and when arriving we couldn’t really tell what area we were supposed to be in. Pros: everything else. Elisse P.

55My water obsessed golden had a blast! There were multiple places for her to enter the water and plenty of sticks for her to retrieve. We did have a school bus pull up and turn around, no one got on or off. The highway is pretty close but other than that it was quiet with no other dogs or people around. Such a great little place for pups to swim!Rachael Y.

FAQ About Marengo 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Marengo area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 173 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
