55We had such a great time being the first visitors to this location! There is so much space to roam and explore on this property. The owners greeted us and were so kind, they even put out a water bowl for my boy. My boy had enough fun that he didn’t want to leave and i struggled to convince him to get in the car! We’ll certainly be visiting this spot again!Keely H.

55Great space, private and large. As someone else said bring bug spray, I was there right before dusk and got bitten. My dog had a great time and could finally relax without triggers around. Whitney S.

55Great spot to run your dogs! Our two Weimaraner's absolutely loved it! The property is fully fenced in, bordering the neighbors back yards on all sides. The owners are very nice and welcoming! They mentioned that some of the neighbors have dogs as well, but we did not have any issues! Definitely going to visit again! Lauma R.

55We love this Sniffspot. We feel totally safe and secure there, and my dog really enjoys all the trees and sniffing around the brush pile. The owners are sweet and leave toys, treats, and extra waste bags. The parking is great too.Marnie S.

FAQ about our Indianola 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 55 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
