The spot itself is very cool, my dog had a blast taking in all the new and different smells! It's very open with lots of space for dogs to run and explore. We will definitely go back!Kayla F.

55We really enjoyed our time! So much open space for my dog, he really ran around and had the time of his life! We’ll definitely be back! Some things to note were that there were a few people on site working on the track if your dog is severely people reactive definitely keep it in mind also we visited at the beginning of the week mon/tues can’t remember the exact day but there was some trash on the ground around the cans because of the weekend events. Nothing hazardous for my pup but I was slightly concerned for a stray chicken bone or something of the like turning up. My dog has a pretty solid recall and ‘leave it’ command but if this isn’t the case for you and your dog perhaps hook a long line on your dog it’s still such a cool space and superrrrr big! Also the ground may be clearer later in the week. We will definitely we back!Hannah H.

55GREAT spot! Absolutely loved our time there!! It was recommended to us and it was the best recommendation! Clean, unique, tons of room to sniff to his hearts content! We kept our long line on, but the best part for us was that there were no people or dogs around, so I didn't need to be worried or stressed! If you have a sound sensitive pup, there is a model airplane field nearby that you can hear, but we were all good! Will definitely be back on my next day off from work!Rebecca G.

55We loved this sniff spot!! We have a very reactive rescue pup so it’s difficult to find secluded areas for him to explore and get some exercise. This spot was perfect - tons of land for him to roam and lots of variation in stuff to sniff 😊 It felt very private and tucked away from the road/houses/etc. so our very anxious dog enjoyed himself without stressing. The hosts were very gracious and friendly. We will definitely come back regularly! Nathalie C.

55Thank you so much to the owners of Island Dragway for sharing their space with us and our dogs. It's wonderful to have a quiet open space where I can walk our boys without having to worry about off leash dogs. The space is big enough that you can easily walk around for an hour or more. There are big open fields to explore and a great space to practice lead manners or recall. The property is partially fenced in and was clean from both trash and dog poop. We had a great afternoon!Karolina D.

55Gorgeous spot, a lot of areas to explore, plenty of room to run, bathrooms where easy to find, some trash can be found here and there but it's to be expected with such a public space (my girl has an excellent leave it/drop it so no issues for me), never figured out how to get down to the water but that will be the missions for next time as I'm definitely going back.

FAQ about our Independence Township 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.
