55Great open spot for dogs to run…there were a few soggy areas and the grass was high so definitely come with waterproof boots. The area was mostly unfenced but the area was large enough where they didn’t go close to the road. Christina W.

55Nice open area for the dogs to romp. We only stayed on one side of the property due to some mud and sticker bushes, but the dogs enjoyed iI. Beautiful views from the property.Cassandra B.

55Wow - what a great property for spending a sunny Sunday afternoon. I brought my dog and 2 grandkids, and we all had a great time. Spotted a praying mantis, heard an osprey up in one of the tall trees, and my dog was so busy with her nose to the ground tracking something that she didn’t even care about fetching her ball. Next time I’ll remember treats, to get her to come back to me. She LOVED IT. It’s a huge rolling prairie, and we had it all to ourselves!Lm H.

55Very beautiful spot. As the weather warms and more of the property opens up it will be even better! I was a little anxious about the proximity of the road with my deaf dogs but they had plenty of room to run that was away from it. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous property! Carrie R.

55We had a great visit! There’s large open fields for running and some thicker forested area if you’re feeling adventurous. Beautiful views. The boundaries of the property were easy to understand - road on one side, power lines on one side, neighbors barb wire fence on one side. We felt well-dressed for the terrain in jeans and waterproof boots this time of year. There’s plenty of room to explore far away from the road. We did hear a fair number of gunshots from neighboring areas during our visit, which doesn’t bother our dogs, but use caution if you have a sound-sensitive dog. We have some happy, tired dogs after our visit!Chad H.

55Great spot! It was my first time using sniff spot and I will definitely visit again. It was a little unclear about getting down to the creek and steering clear of the restricted area but a fun adventure 🙂Monica M.

55Great open space, lovely chance to explore. Easy to find and boundary markers were easily identified. It's a large, open plot, you may run into water, mud, tall grasses, weeds, thorny bushes, dense trees so rain boots worked great for me. Fencing is minimalistic, it's largely natural boundary lines (trees and bushes), and there is road access so if you plan to let your dog off lead just be aware that it's not that hard to get into the street. Also keep in mind there isn't a bin for dog bags (that I saw) so just be prepared to pack them out with you. Had a lovely time meandering and enjoying some fresh air.Bailey S.

55We had a great time! The pups loved splashing in the puddles and sniffing in the trees, and there was plenty of space to throw a tennis ball. Cassandra G.

55We really enjoyed this spot! It’s clean, secure fencing, the host has toys and bags for guest. Also, a nice sitting area and water for the pooch. The huge pig surprised my puppy! Ryker has never seen a pig so this was entertaining. Lol there’s some farm friends which was awesome. And lots of space for running and sniffing.Mary R.

55We had a great time and used the whole hour booked. We walked around the whole area and were pleased with the secure fenceing. There were many types of toys to play with. Our dog was very intrigued by Bilbo the pig, but he got bored of us pretty quickly and disappeared. The area was large and great for us to practice recall! We'll be back on a regular basis! Amber B.

55Our dogs had the best time! It was very securely fenced with TONS of room to run. There were lots of amenities, including dog toys and tennis balls, dog bags, a trash can, and water for them to rehydrate. They loved discovering the new smells, the sand pile, and watching the farm animals on the other side of the fence. It was easy to follow the signs and get to the right place. We can't wait to come back!Lesley B.

55More than enough room for the dogs to run & play. Had seating, port a potty, and TONS of toys for the dogs to play with. Fully fenced which was nice for our rescue puppy who isnt so good at coming when called. Emily T.

FAQ about our Elma 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 Elma 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 74 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
