55Nice spot for some good sniffs! Very easy to come and go. There are some prickly bushes around but you can navigate around them and get to plenty of space to play fetch on open land. Be mindful of a few foxtail bushes around the property that are just starting to dry out, especially if your pup really likes to get in the bushes. My pups and I had a great time! No shade so bring a hat and some water for the pups on those hot days :) Roslyn T.

55True to the other reviews, this is a dry creek bed with thorny weeds interspersed around in it, and the way leading to the creek bed is all tall grass and weeds as well. My dog absolutely loved it for being able to play fetch on the creek bed, and part of it hadn't yet dried up for the season so he got to roll around and lay in the mud to cool off. He will be needing a bath tonight, but he had fun. I recommend bringing water and a bowl to put it in so your pup doesn't try drinking the mud like mine did, lol. Where to enter was a bit unclear, we initially went into the smaller backyard before finding the gate to the left of the garage.Kip S.

55Stopped at the Animal Ranch to get out of the car and stretch my legs. Giving 5 stars because host accuracy describes property to a T. On that note, this is undeveloped land — a dried creek bed with lots of thorny plants all around. These will shred your calves unless you’re wearing thick cotton pants. These plants are native to the area so not appropriate for host to cut down, especially 4 acres worth. Ryan was super responsive so that much is appreciated. My dog is a princess and wanted to leave after 15 minutes.Quynh L.

55We met a friend here and our two Great Danes loved it. The property is totally fenced and we felt comfortable the entire time. Thanks, Ryan! Paige P.

FAQ About Silver Springs 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.

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.
