55This was our first visit, and we had a great time. For anyone who has a large and/or reactive dog that needs vigorous exercise (as we do), this spot would work great. Huge turf field to run in, fully fenced, and pretty well isolated from distractions. If this spot location wasn't so far from where we live, we'd be regulars here.
The only thing to be aware of is that there's currently not much shade around the field, nor much in the way of seating/shelter for the human. However, I talked with the spot owner, and it sounds like they are already working on enhancements like that for the spot amenities.
Large, quiet, fenced spots with good turf surface seem to be a rarity down in the Valley. If that's what you are looking for, I'd put this spot on your list.

55Such an awesome spot! The open space is perfect for running, playing fetch, working on commands or just giving your dogs some off-leash freedom.
They also provide a trash can and water, we will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing this space with us! Katryna S.

55So much space for my pups to run! They had so much fun. We did see some dogs from their neighbors and they were barking, but it didn’t bother us. We will definitely be back! Alexis E.

55Our first visit to Gambel Field Park. It was a very nice outing for our 1-yr old sighthound who enjoyed the freedom to run in a perfectly-sized area for a pup who is still working on recalls. Plush grass center area makes for good running! Clear access instructions were appreciated, too!Sue K.

55I booked for 1.5 hrs and my dogs were done in 45 min lol
Such a great area of open space! We did hear/see the neighbor’s dogs barking and my reactive dog got riled up but only for a few minutes, nothing bad. All 3 of my dogs had a blast running around and had their tongues out the entire time. Will definitely be back :)Denishia C.

55My two pups loved their first SniffSpot experience here! We planned on making this a pitstop several hours into our 15 hour road trip, and the dogs were so happy to get out to stretch their legs. There was plenty of room for them to run, play fetch, and wear themselves out. Since it was especially hot, our host graciously offered to turn the sprinklers on for them to play in and even gave us cold water to refill our dog bowls. We would all (pups and humans) highly recommend! Tessa J.

55Absolutely lovely and had a great time! Loved watching the sky lighten as my dog could run around and sniff. Also, the fences are big enough for a dog's head to peek through which is something to keep in mind if your dog is reactive and another dog is using the other field at the same time. If you want a nice field to do some training/playing with your dog--this is it! Even just a walk and sniff I was there for an hour and that's all we did and we had a grand ol time. Worth the drive:) Siana B.

55This is my first time using the app living out here in Buckeye, which leaves us with limited options, so when we found Gambel Field we were excited to visit! This was very last minute planning on our end, and we appreciate Jane working with us due to the unexpected weather as well, but my 3 dogs had a blast!! We will definitely be coming back again! This is their favorite place now! Mariana F.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience, we used the app, signed up and chose a spot that we wanted. We live in Anthem and have a yard but wanted a large, grassy, fenced in area to just let our 2.5yr/110lb German Shepherd just play ball and run. The field was perfect for us and just what we were looking for, we brought a couple of folding chairs, a cooler and coffee. Bodhi was a little overwhelmed at first but loved every minute. It was easy to find, we received great instructions, clean and you could even hear the cows moo 😊 I would suggest to stop at the travel center to use their facilities before you arrive if need to. Jane replied right away when I booked the time and was very detailed in her reply, this was perfect for us and exactly what we wanted, we will be booking again…… thank you Jane!!Staci R.

55This place was great for any dogs that wants to run long distance and sniff around. I definitely want to come back here when the weather is cooler, my dogs absolutely loves the open space. Make sure to have doggy wipes because they might get dirty from the field. Thank you again Jane! Jen H.

55This is a wonderful place to go visit with your dog(s). We reserved the 1 acre parcel and our dog loved to just go and sniff and play fetch. All areas are fenced in, so you can feel assured your dog is safe. The property is very well cared for. There is some shade on the 1 acre, but make sure to bring a lawn chair. Our dog had to take a break after only 25 min. of non-stop running around.
Jane was very nice and accommodating, she greeted us on arrival. She allowed as to take a stroll on the 14 acre field which is great for larger gatherings with a picnic area. We are definitely considering it for a future event. This area is all fenced in also.
It feels very good to just let your dog be off leash. He LOVED it. We have a small backyard and dog parks are very restrictive and not very big. The 14 acre field is huge.
Make sure to invite some friends with their dogs for your private dog party.
We drove 45 min. one way, but it was well worth it.
We will definitely come back.
Jane‘s fees are very reasonable.Katrin M.

55Beautiful & secure property where your dogs can just run freely. Jane welcomed us and is very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed talking to her about the property while the dogs played. There is shade and water available. I would recommend bringing a lawn chair if you would like to rest. Debra K.

FAQ about our Buckeye dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
