55We used to spend every weekend at the dog park until our dog was attacked and became fearful of other dogs. This is such a great spot and blessing for us so that our dogs can run and play like they used to without worrying about other dogs. Kayla D.

55Very nice spot. Definitely dogs visible pulling in and parking, walking to the sniff spot. Our reactive dog handled it well. The space is very nice, open, very secure fencing, and quiet overall! It was a really great place for the dogs to be safely off leash! Tanner W.

55Easy to access and such a nice space for the pups to run around. We don’t have a fenced in yard, so I’m always happy to find places where the dogs can really run. The field was nicely mowed and had plenty of areas to access shade.
The daycare/boarding dogs were out on the other fenced in areas, but they did not seem to distract my dogs at all. (The other areas are not directly adjacent to the Sniffspot)
Definitely will be back!X X.

55Great spot. My 2 boxers loved exploring the area and running around. There are poop bags and a trash can right inside the entrance, which was helpful on the way out.Kristen Z.

55One of our favorite sniff spots. Be aware if you have a reactive dog - the dogs that are in boarding come out during the day and you need to get past them to get to the field. Suzanne F.

55Fantastic spot! Exactly as described. Open, flat and not many holes: a fetch dog’s dream. The other pups on the property were far enough away that it didn’t bother my reactive dog a bit.Steph C.

55Beautiful, secure, so much fun! A bit of poop to watch out for here and there (we did the best we could to clean up other people’s mess!) but I’m sure it’s hard to lose poop in a space that big :) Taylor S.

FAQ About Yorkville 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.
