55Perfect spot for last minute play time! Made the reservation process fast, efficient and welcoming! Love that though it wa a last minute my dog had fresh and cool water set out for him before we got there. It’s the littlest things that made this experience perfect! Philantha S.

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.

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.

55This was Petra’s first SniffSpot visit and she seemed to love it. The area is clean with a LOT to sniff/explore and was perfect for our dog-reactive pup. Petra was glued to the chickens most of the time- who, thankfully didn’t mind her at all. The directions were clear and made access to the spot easy to locate. We’ll be back! Kelly R.

55My dog loved exploring this spacious spot. The pool was a huge hit. Everything was clean and we loved the more open spaces to run and roll. It was especially hot today, so I wished I had brought a chair, but there were some great tree stumps to sit on. Melissa O.

55Easy to get to with the provided directions. Large open area to run, as well as shaded areas. My dogs loved the stock tank, as well as the plastic kiddie pool.Carlie F.

55Fabulous, clean, beautiful 2 acres! Just lovely. My 3 small dogs were afraid of the train the first time it went by but were fine after that. Easy to find if you follow the directions. Nicely secluded. One spot at the gate my Chiweenie might have squeezed under but she didn’t try it - otherwise it seems very well fenced for all size dogs. My dogs were enthralled with the chickens (who are safely enclosed). A fun hour of free roaming. Definitely recommend.Sheryl G.

55Ronnie had a great time in the open space, lots of room for running around and playing fetch, as well as investigating all the hidden nooks of the yard. Thank you so much!Alexandra R.

55Lovely space with interesting nooks & vegetation for the dogs to explore. Chickens are unaffected by dogs & a treat to sniff for city dwellers. Will definitely be back! Libby B.

55Our two dogs had a lot of fun here, mostly being fascinated with the chickens. Even the older dog, who you think would be above all that, was excited by them. Though it wasn’t hot out they both enjoyed the pool. Lots of room to zoom!Joseph R.

55Seriously the most beautiful and perfect spot to take your dog! My pup Lucy has excitement-based reactivity so it’s difficult to find a place for her to run without other dogs being there. She had the most amazing time sniffing, saying hello to the chickens and even getting spooked by a little snake (haha!). We stayed for an hour and I’m happy to report that is snuggled up taking a nap now. We can’t wait to stop back again! Sarah S.

55Nice wonderful spot with plenty of room to run and things to explore. We were able to have our 5 month old Portie run till his heart was content and then some. If your dog likes to put all things in their mouth like ours does. There are quite a few nut trees that have some things on the ground during this time of the year, so just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't try to eat all of the things. Otherwise very quiet spot with plenty of room. Would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone interested. :)Luke B.

FAQ about our 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. 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.
