55What a wonderful place to visit! Not only was their property beautiful, but it had something to offer for every dog. It was safe, clean, and quiet! Lots of opportunities for enrichment…many smells, chickens, agility equipment, sandbox for digging, SO many toys, pool, and some really nice wooded areas to roam around in. We will be back again and again! Kristi F.

55My dogs really enjoyed their time here. Everything was perfect. It is a very well thought out playground and everything we would need while there is available. So much room for them to just run and explore. We will definitely be back. Tracey M.

55The Golden Dog Playground has everything you could want for a fun adventure with your dog! The huge fenced in yard is secure and private. Aside from the very polite chickens, we didn't see or hear any other animals or people. The fenced area includes a large open space for running and lots of woods for sniffing and exploring. Our dogs particularly enjoyed the dig station, sniffing in the woods, and playing on the logs. Everything was clean, safe, and as described. Our dogs are exhausted now! We will absolutely be back!

55What a great sniff spot. I met my friend there with pup so our dogs could play. The area is fenced with a large grassy area as well as a wooded section which is great for some good sniffing. There are agility items to try and a great basket of toys you can use . Plenty of room for zoomies and playing. There are a number of water bowls around the spot with clean water and also a number of spots to dispose of dog waste. It’s a fabulous country setting with seating for pet parents and even a clean up area with towels if your pup gets real dirty. This was my first sniff spot and I recommend it 💯%. Joyce N.

55We loved our visit to Golden Dog Playground today! We took our time getting oriented as there is a lot to see and do. There certainly was a lot of "sniffing" by my dog which he very much enjoyed as he explored the large fenced in area. He loved the little pool that had been set up as well as running all over at top speed which was a joy to see as he almost never gets a chance to go off leash. It is a clean and welcoming environment and I look forward to going back!Diane R.

55My dog had a great time! She enjoyed the scatter feeding and explored the yard and the woods. Since this was her first time at a dog playground, I had to encourage her to explore, but she got the idea pretty quickly. This was a good setting for my reactive dog. It was quiet and private, which was perfect for her Lori W.

55Great spot with many different options for the pups! Lots of space to move around and the possibility of different activities if dogs are interested. Can’t wait to go back so dogs can explore more! C B.

55Today was our first day ever trying a Sniff Spot, and I think the next ones are going have some high expectations! My friend owns a Doggy Daycare and I have managed many daycares and currently work in a Veterinary Hospital. Working in the industry we tend to set high standard. We brought our two large breed dogs. Everything was perfect! We ordered the extra large dog pool, and the dogs happily used it in between running and playing with toys. The spot is extremely clean, welcoming, has many extras including agility equipment, sink for fresh water and comfortable seating for the humans. Our dogs can sometimes be reactive and we very much appreciated not coming in contact with anyone or any other dogs. We are already trying to schedule our next visit and talked about doing this regularly. I can't think of one thing that I would change. We are hoping this sniff spot will continue through the winter months. Thank you so much for letting us use this amazing spot!Klt T.

55We finally got to try out the Playground! Orion and Georgia wasted no time in doing full speed perimeter sweeps of both areas, saying hi to the chickens, and taking each other out in the sand pit. The big winner was definitely the pool set up that I swear had crystal clear clean water when we got there, but then Orion happened 😂 Georgia managed to go through the long tunnel and they both took a few jumps but were definitely more focused on the sand pit and pool. So many different environments for them to sniff and explore from open field to run full speed or trees to weave between or shrubs to sniff through and they did it all. Very thorough instructions and easy to find and get situated. We will definitely be back!Paula S.

55My dog and my foster dog had a great time at the playground today - they loved racing around, smelling all of the new scents, meeting some chickens, and trying some of the equipment! It’s so nice seeing the dogs get a chance to just do their own thing and explore in a safe environment! Thank you for providing such an enriching opportunity for them! 🤎🐶🤎🐶Kate S.

55We brought our small dog Maisey to have fun sniffing and enjoy the diverse areas of this spot! First thing she did was to check out if she could escape but all was buttoned up safe. She loved exploring the woods, meeting the chickens, running through the tunnel, and then jumping into the pool to cool down and float! Thanks Traci & Ray for creating such a fantastic sniffspot!!Betsy H.

55Simply the best! So much to see, smell, and experience: agility equipment, all kinds of balls and fetch toys, sensory pools, large digging area, and chickens to meet! Water on site and comfy, shady places for mom and dad to sit. We went as part of our dog's birthday week celebration and we will be back!Judith L.

55I visited with my pup, a friend and her pup! The separate fenced areas were perfect for letting our dogs sniff and stretch their legs before opening the gate and letting them interact within one giant yard. Her pup loved the variety of things to interact with. Mine loved being able to explore a wooded area AND a lawn. He wasn't sure about the chickens, but he had so much space to play that he quickly forgot about them. The space was very clean and secure. Neither of our pups were interested in climbing a big woodpile just to get over a fence so no concerns there! We didn't opt for any of the extras although it's great to know we have options for next time.Vickie B.

55This was our first Sniff spot visit and it did not disappoint! Tons of agility/confidence building equipment, digging area, large fenced in area with room to explore and a big pool for my dog to cool off on a hot day! Although my dog was not interested in the confidence building today because there was so much to smell and explore he had a blast. Thank you for creating such a welcoming place for dogs to play! Highly recommended as we will definitely be back again!Laurie-Anne C.

55My dog had a decompression sniff and explore of the whole sniffspot for around 10 minutes then we got to enjoy a bit of everything offered. It was interesting to see his reaction to the chickens. He recalled away from them and has fun. Was super into the parkour logs and was driven wince we started with the agility set :)
Worth visiting again! I just wish I picked a better day where it wasn't all wet from the rain!Alina R.

FAQ about our Barrington fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?

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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
