55This was our first time using sniff spot and my pup absolutely loved it and was so tuckered out on the drive home! The sprinklers she couldn’t get enough of- It was so good getting her out of the apartment and Kristen’s place was everything we’d hoped, she’s such an accommodating host and we’ll definitely be back again!Alexis M.

55This is a great space with real grass. My dog Zoe loved the pool and the new obstacle course and I like that she also provided water for the humans. It’s a very clean spot and we will definitely be back.Tadd L.

55So much to do! My dogs had plenty of room to run and play. There were so many different activities to try, we did a little bit of everything. The ball pit was my favorite. They weren’t interested in it at first, but after I sprinkled a few training treats in there, it became a fun foraging activity. They kept jumping in and out to sniff around! I can’t wait to visit this Sniffspot again as the weather cools down.Paige F.

55This spot rocks!! Lots of room to run and play and little activities too. Great seating for the humans and pretty string lights at night. Easy access and the host is wonderful. The neighbors have dogs but they only barked a couple of times, no big deal. Bring your pup here and enjoy!Katelyn L.

55Lots of toy options for the dogs and grass area. The bug spray came in handy for the mosquitos. Plenty of water for the dogs and humans to drink. Outside patio light was nice to have when it started to get dark. Bianca R.

FAQ about our Apache Junction small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Apache Junction?
There are 105 small dog parks in the Apache Junction area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
