55On a whim after I came home to a crrrraaaazy pup I looked up a park and found 30 minutes at Skolaski’s Ranch! It did not disappoint - great space for a single dog to just run and she also enjoyed checking out the chickens (probably the highlight of her night).Sara R.

55Awesome place! This was our first sniffspot and it was a great experience.
The chickens are directly next to the fenced spot (which our dog struggled with), but they did stay far enough away we didn't need to worry about anyone getting pulled through. There was also a flock of sheep one field over (visible and audible but far enough away to just be a mild distraction).Lana H.

55What a dream location. I have two reactive dogs so we can’t go to the dog park. We now live in an apartment so this place is perfection for us. We will be coming back here as often as possible. Stacey F.

55This spot was very nice and clean with lots of toys. A little buggy but that’s just summer in the country (I would recommend bug spray). We had dinner at the picnic table while our dog played. It was a great spot and we will definitely be back!😊Sara H.

55Love it that this place has balls with a "slinger" so you can throw them far. Had a great time and because it's a sizable fenced area, my granddog is pooped!Mary M.

55My puppy loved this spot! He even went up and down the slanted board. He ran and ran and ran and ran some more. He didn't want to leave! This is a great and much safer option for us. Hywania T.

55This is such a great spot! Our dogs loved running up and down the huge space and looking at the chickens through the fence. It was clean and well-stocked with fetch toys and water. We will definitely be back—thank you!!Elena R.

55This dog park is such an excellent choice for any dog who wants to roam free without the distraction of other dogs! It is well-kept, with lots of toys and agility equipment, but there is also plenty of space for running and fetch. Highly recommend! Sean M.

55This was our second visit and we will be back! Plenty of space to run around and things to do. There are two crates of balls, frisbees, and toys if you don't bring your own. Plus agility equipment to try out, water/water dishes, and a trash can for waste. There are also chairs and a picnic table with an umbrella if you want to relax while your dog explores.
Our dog was curious about the chickens on the first visit (he had never seen one before), but was too busy to even notice them the second time. :-)Brenda R.

55A lovely little spot with lots of toys and room to run! The park does not have a water spigot, but the owners always leave a large jug of water out before we arrive. They sometimes have produce and eggs for sale too. Nicole C.

55This was a great place to bring my pup to burn off some energy! She is very shy and this was a very private spot where I felt comfortable to let her off leash as the area was well fenced in. She even jumped around on the agility equipment and went through the tunnel! Thank you!Molly H.

FAQ about our Darlington 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.
