55We've come here several times now, it's quickly become our dogs (and kids) favorite spot. The extras are awesome, the pup cups were a great cold treat, and putting out the kid/puppy pool is always a hit! Yard is very well kept, easy for the kids and even our Pomeranian to run through, and every time we've come it's been a great experience!Emily R.

55Such a beautiful backyard with tons of room for the dogs to run around in! We were so comfortable sitting in their patio furniture while the dogs played. The splash pad was much needed for the dogs. We’ll definitely be back!Rachel K.

55This backyard is perfect! They have everything you would need to play with a dog. I brought a bunch of toys but didn’t need to. My dogs really loved using the kiddie pool to cool off. Plenty of space to throw a ball and wear out some high energy pups. Also there are two different shaded areas to sit at which is a huge plus. Lauren K.

55Love this spot for being so close to the city. It’s just enough to space for my pup to run around and chase the ball and sniff all the smells. They have plenty of seating for people and toys to play with. I love the landscaping and all the trees as well. Allison G.

55Such a great spot! really sweet sign welcoming us and no trouble accessing the space. There were toys, water, and everything you’d need set out for us to enjoy. The yard was so spacious and lush :) there were some neighbor dogs out enjoying the nice day but the fencing fabric made it private and lowered distractions! Emily P.

FAQ About Minneapolis 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Minneapolis area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 247 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 439 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
