55First time ever going to a sniffspot and this place was the best. Lots of space to run around. Enrichment activities and toys available. And fresh water put out. Great spot!
55Always love coming here!
55As a pet care provider, I’m always on the lookout for safe, off-leash spaces where dogs can explore freely without the worry of encountering other pups. This SniffSpot exceeded my expectations! The space is impressively large and thoughtfully equipped with great amenities like an A-frame, hurdles, and an abundance of balls—perfect for keeping an active pup entertained. I also appreciated the convenience of having poop bags and a trash can on-site. What truly sets this spot apart, though, is its serene atmosphere. Nestled next to Rice Creek, it feels like a hidden sanctuary despite being near a busy road and a lightly-used path. The expansive, leaf-covered yard and stunning trees, adorned with mushrooms in their trunks, create a picturesque setting that invites relaxation and joy. The reactive pup I cared for this weekend had the time of their life, running freely and confidently in this secure, fenced environment. Seeing their pure joy in such a peaceful space was heartwarming. Thank you for creating such a wonderful haven for pups and their humans! This is a gem we’ll absolutely return to. 🌟🐾
55We had a great time! Huge open fenced in area.
55Such a great fenced in place! We took a dog who is up for adoption @ MACC for a field trip here and we all had a great experience. Thanks!
55This is a great spot! It’s large, has hills and is fully fenced. Plus Tony supplies water, toys and some agility equipment. Highly recommend.
55Great place! Loved the visual blocks to the path and the agility equip.
55Great space! The pup had so much fun.
55Nice place for dog to run. Good levels of land. Up and down. Lots of agility equipment. Nice area for fresh water. There was one place someone didn’t pick up their dog poop. Otherwise, beautiful and serene. Thank you.
55Very spacious with agility equipment and balls / toys to keep your dog entertained. It is near a highway and you can see the cars. There are multiple fences between you and cars so it’s safe but they can still be heard/ seen. I only mention this because cars make my dog go crazy and I know he’s not the only one!! Super fun spot!

Location

Fridley, Minnesota

Description

A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.

Off leash, privacy, play time for you, you/family, and of course, your beloved dog(s) Squirrels and rabbits pass through the dog park. My miniature little brown poodle, Morty Wonka, once captured a fast hare rabbit in the side yard park that was bigger than himself., because of this Elvis Presley became his friend, and Morty was no longer a “Hound Dog” For warm or hot sunny days, the Red Maple Tree in the play area will provide you with instant shade, and it is the perfect spot to place a chair(s) where you can throw optional numerous rubber ball toys to your dog(s) to play fetch & retrieve. Perhaps your dog(s) would like to take a run thru the 15 ft nylon agility tube, the adjustable garden hose nozzle will provide you the option to relieve yourself(s) and dog(s) with a cold refreshing mist, including sanitized stainless steel water dish(es) at your disposal, For clean up, towels, hand sanitizer & plastic small poop bags are at your disposal with a trash can to get rid of anything undesirable. It would make me very happy to know your dog(s) are enjoying the converted side yard private dog park, as my beloved dogs did, especially my white standard poodle Buddy, who the dog park is named after. He loved to crouch down by the pine trees and the very tall 20-30 ft high arborvitaes that line the west wood fence, as he waited for me to throw a rubber ball to him, that he would eagerly return to me. A canine, human experience, that will make you and your dog(s) want to return for more. Questions?
