55This was my dogs first experience of being off the leash and running freely and she loved every minute of it! Of course she found a spot near the gate where the fence bottom wasn't down all the way, and probably would have tried to get out if I wasn't there, but all in all it was a very good first visit! Besides checking everything out we played fetch with a ball and before you knew it, it was time to go. I didn't see a water faucet, but I wasn't looking to hard, next time I would like to know exactly where it is and if I need to bring our own bowl. Chrys A.

55Very cute yard perfect for a game of fetch. Only time I saw another dog was when one walked by. I didn’t realize it was supposed to rain and the host left an umbrella out for me! There’s the tiniest little space in the fence that they did a good job blocking with a stick. My dog checked it out a couple times, but couldn’t figure out why she wouldn’t fit through it lolDelia K.

FAQ About South Saint Paul 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.
