55The size of this yard was amazing for our dog! I loved the seating area and the accessories left out for us as well! I did see some 💩 in the back section and our pup meet another pup in the back corner of the fence but wasn’t an issue. Will definitely come visit here again.Ashlee T.

55It was exactly what we were looking for! The back yard is even bigger than it looks in the pictures. Very nicely kept and was perfect for our 2 dogs to run their hearts out! Would definitely recommend and will be going again! Lauma R.

55Erica’s beautiful yard was fantastic for our pups! They were able to run and play, and the space was huge and fully fenced. We were thankful for the very prompt communication and for being able to accommodate us on short notice. Our huskies were very happy! Will definitely reserve this space again on our next road trip through Iowa!Michele M.

FAQ About Urbandale 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.
