55We just had our very 1st trip to Max's playground, and our dog Chapo, and my son's dog, Vani, had the BEST time! The trails are great & the land itself is beautiful! They have fresh clean water for the dogs to drink. Delbert has it set up with poop bags & trash cans throughout, & also a place where you can give your dogs a bath, if you like! We will definitely be back on a regular basis! Marie G.

55Hank and Jude our 2 dogs had a great time at Max's Playground in Lafayette. They were worn out when our hour was up. Hank didn't want to leave. My sister and I enjoyed walking the paths as well. There were plenty of resting spots for humans, plenty of water for the dogs, and it was very safe for all. We will defiantly make this a much-visited place with our pups. Dilbert was very nice and hospitable. I could not download the pics of the pups but their tongues were hanging out and smiles on their faces when we left. Thanks Delbert. I couldn't hear another dog barking until Hank went on the porch at the properties house. Hank wanted to stay. LOL Candy P.

55What a spectacular place! We have been to loads of sniffspots and Max’s playground is one of the very best! Very safe and lovingly maintained. The hosts are wonderful and really go out of their way to make sure you have everything you would need. It’s such a lovely tribute to their beloved Max. Of course the dogs had so much fun and were very tired. Can’t wait to come backTracy M.

55The 2nd time visiting Max’s playground was just as fun as the first. Going near sunset, we got to see some cattle in the adjacent field which were far enough away that my dog was able to calmly view them (she’s a cattle dog mix which is fun). Beautiful property and kind owners. I hope others continue to respect this Sniffspot for as long as they’ll have us 😊 Working on recall proved to be a little tough because of all the amazing smells but we were able to do some training in the midst of decompressing.

55Another PERFECT & EXCELLENT visit for Hank! Sadly, I was not able to be there today, but my girlfriend said Mr. Hank had another wonderful time at Max's Playground! I can't say enough good things about this spot and the wonderful couple that have opened their hearts to all of the dogs that don't get to run and play as much as they deserve. This was Hank's 2nd visit and we all intend to keep coming back to the best SniffSpot in the world for as long as Max's Playground will have us. Thank you so very much for another fantastic visit. We will see you again soon! John O.

55I can only hope that more people find out about this place and it catches on like wildfire. The hosts couldn't be more friendly and Hank couldn't love it more! He now knows when we are about a 1/2 mile away and starts whining because he can't wait to run around and say hello to the lovely people who operate Max's Playground. If you're a dog owner who is deciding where to take your dog, look no further. Max's Playground is the bee's knees. 2nd place is so far away, wherever that may be, should just give up. A+++ Get to Max's Playground. John O.

55This was the best experience I've ever had with my dog, Minnie! She loved the freedom to roam, lots of spots to sniff, and enjoyed investigating the chickens and ducks.
We both took a nap when we got home and she's tuckered out in the best way. We'll certainly be back and bring some friends!
The hosts provided water, towels, hose, poo bags, shampoo, and probably a few things I've forgotten! The swings and water spot were very appreciated to rest and recover before heading home. Megan C.

Our dog and people reactive boy absolutely loved being able to run about without the worry of having those issues. It is a beautiful place and our dog had the best time. Also the fact that they donate their proceeds to local shelters just makes it even better. Great people as well! Krista L.

55We absolutely loved our visit with our boys to Max’s Playground. The trails were maintained and there was freshwater for them to drink. We felt our boys were safe and secure as the area is fenced in completely. There is plenty of shade and places to sit. They even had a baby pool that our dogs enjoyed. It really is a beautiful property that we ourselves enjoyed walking .
We definitely will be back.Wendy F.

FAQ about our Danville 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Danville 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 23 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
