55***For those with REACTIVE DOGS***
This is an amazing Spot, but the next door neighbors have 4 small, yappy, territorial dogs. The owners do come out and get the dogs but sometimes not before a fence fight happens. There is a screen on the fence but territorial dogs will fight thru that. Mine do. Recently, a weakness was found in the fence and the neighbor's dog was attacked. I suggest the following to keep everybody safe.
(I do not know the status of the attacked dog)
To enjoy this large, beautiful awesome Spot, I suggest you keep your dogs on leash until you get in the Spot and well away from the fence bordering the neighbors with dogs. It's on your right as you enter the Spot, so impossible to avoid. However, it is relatively easy to keep your pups busy and away from that fence as there is an easement of sorts with trees and bushes between the orchard proper and the neighbors with dogs fence line.
I hope this helps those with reactive dogs. I love this Spot and hate that the neighbor's dog was hurt. It would be a travesty for this unique place to shut down because of a series of accidents that can be prevented.
Happy Sniffspotting!Aubrey H.

55What a great spot! This was my second visit to the orchard, and it fit my pup's preferences perfectly (loves to play fetch and lay around). Easy to find, instructions are clear. You can hear barking sometimes from nearby dogs, but we couldn't see them. As stated in the info, when it's been raining, there is mud, but I wore big rain boots and had no problem. When it has been dry for at least a couple of days, the ground seems to dry out as well. Personally, I love sitting and listening to all of the bird song. There is a very beautiful bluebird that likes to hang out back there. This will become one of our regular spots for sure!Amy P.

55Great spot for my two large dogs to roam with endless sniffs. Boots are a must for pet parents due to some of the muddy areas. But overall the yard is well cared for and I had a great time watching my dogs run around. When we got there one of the neighbor dogs crawled under the fence and approached my car, so be aware of that if your dogs are reactive. The neighbors have 3 smaller dogs that barked at my dogs through the fence a good portion of the time, but there are blockers along the fence to minimize distractions. Ashley A.

55This sniffspot was fantastic. We had reserved the spot from 2pm to 4pm. It was relatively quiet in the area. The fenced-in area was spacious and had a lot of spots for our dogs to investigate. It was easy to find and we had zero run ins with other people or dogs. The location was a bit muddy (Not surprising due to the weather recently) but not bad. Would recommend bringing towels if your dogs like rolling in mud. We will be visiting again!Hannah W.

55Had a ton of fun here again! Our dogs ran and ran. Our 10 yr old dog has never been able to run like that off-leash. He had the best time.
This spot is super clean and though it's a little muddy in spots, we didn't need boots at all. Would recommend 100%.Cassie P.

55My sister and I went to let our dogs run around since it ended up with no rain in the forecast. We were notified to wear waterproof footwear. The sign on the street turn off was helpful. Our dogs had fun! We also got to see some cool birds like wax wing and jays which was a bonus.LEEANN Y.

55We haven't even actually visited yet because it suddenly started raining really hard about 40 minutes before our reservation. I did a last minute cancel and got almost an immediate response and was still given a refund. I definitely will go back just because of the friendly service I received. And it looks like a really cool spot!Brent Z.

55First time here, GREAT 'Spot.
Big space, dogs had a blast.
Definitely wear boots, bring towels for low-riding dogs (our Corgi got soaked!)
We'll be back!
Helpful hint for folks who don't already know, to operate the water spigot, pull up. ;)Jason, Cate & Beth R.

55Fence was secure and tall enough to keep in my Newfoundland mix and a friend’s rough collie. Nice space with access to water and poop bags/trash can. Vegetation is a little thick in some areas but general space is clear. A great spot if you want a bit of privacy and a space for your dog to wander around and smell. There are thick branches by the parking area so be cautious with larger vehicles.Keone R.

FAQ About Parkland 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Parkland 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 358 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 505 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
