55Great spot! Our Koira is shy around people and sometimes dogs so dog parks don’t work for us anymore. Was a great space to run and play hide and seek with our dog. She loved it!Shauna B.

55Another wonderful visit to our puppy's favorite place. :) He is growing so fast, & right now it seems like he is all legs. He has plenty of room to stretch them & run here. Getting him used to the pool little by little. We appreciate having a place where he can just be a puppy without having to worry about other dogs. It is secure enough for his curiosity. The bug spray provided is very appreciated! (I bring our own, but ran out today)
I have recommended this wonderful place to many people, & will continue to do so. Jana B.

55This is an excellent park. The size was plenty big enough for them to run around. There were a decent amount of bugs (flies/mosquitoes and such) but there were multiple bug deterrent options available. Plenty of water and bowls as well. All around, a great place! Melissa P.

55So nice to have a second spot here! Sprite’s sniffer was immediately in action before we even got in the park :) it was too hot for us to play hard but there was so much for her to sniff that it wasn’t a problem. This area is shaded in the evening, which is nice. Same great touches like water, toys, chairs, poop bags and scoop, and big spray. Flies were out but not as bad in the open part, and the hosts kindly provided spray for people and pets!Lisa S.

55The directions were easy to follow. It’s a nicely taken care of yard that’s easy to walk in. We went on a really hot day so we didn’t stay long. My dog was ready to go inside. Inside their house I might add. 😂 Luna is not a fan of water otherwise I would have asked about the dog pool. There are some annoying flies but they do have bug spray at the entrance. I also noticed a couple of umbrellas. Everything is nicely taken care of and I would very much recommend if you want a larger yard to run your dog. Tessa T.

FAQ About McFarland 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.
