55This was my first time trying out a Sniffspot and out anxious dogs loved it! Awesome host (great communication)! Very open yard for fetch and a nice amount of shade from trees. It was quiet, relaxing, and our dogs got a ton of sniff enrichment. The toy bin was also a nice touch:)Sydney V.

55Great! My babies enjoyed the space so much. I love how high the fence is all around. There was water set out for them that i didn't even notice. They found it before me! Lol. Ashley H.

55Great first visit. We’ll definitely return. My 7 mo-old weimaraner puppy is zonked out after chasing balls and smelling all the smells. Very clean and securely fenced yard. He loved the toys so much we have to buy some of the same lol. Quiet except for a little road noise. Thank you for sharing your space!Doris M.

55What a great sniff spot! It’s the perfect size for running and playing 🐾 The dogs had soo much fun and parking was nice and easy. I loved how there were extra poop bags on the fence in multiple spots in case you need.
If I was to be super critique-y I wish there was a little fence around the shed area because the dogs kept wanting to go and smell where there were items. Also there was a spot (maybe a pollinator garden) with tall grasses and flowers where they kept wanting to go so we checked the dogs for ticks just in case.
5/5 would (probably will) come again 🐶Marisa H.

55Wonderfully large, expansive, fenced yard. My pups had a great time and were even rolling around on the lawn. The yard is clean. When it's sunny and hot, there are shaded tree areas to keep cool. Also, there is a big bowl for fresh water for the dogs. Cynthia C.

55We just moved to Ohio from Washington state. My dogs were used to having their own yard and now have to get used to apartment life. It was so fun to see them running and stretching their legs! This is such a clean, large property and my dogs LOVED IT. I’m sure we will be back! Thank you!Kelsie O.

55We just learned about Sniffspot from a city dog employee or volunteer at Lakeview cemetery last weekend. Both of our dogs are fairly reactive to strange dogs and other small animals, so it was really an amazing experience to take them somewhere that where they could run around like crazy but be fenced and safe. The space is very clean, the directions are easy to follow, we really appreciate it and we will definitely be back.karl k.

55Easy to find & easy to access! Toys available, places to sit.
I recently adopted my dog & she’s reactive towards smaller dogs. We wanted a place close by to run around without going to a dog park. This was perfect!!Tatiana K.

FAQ about our Aurora 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Aurora area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 173 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 36 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
