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.

55This is SUCH a beautiful sniffspot! The backyard is cute with plenty of seating and the hosts are incredibly nice! We booked for my puppy’s first birthday and they left out a little “Yappy Barkday” sign and some birthday hats (adorable). It’s such a nice yard and I didn’t have any safety concern either. We’ll definitely come back!Arden P.

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.
