55Big, lovely yard for running and playing, great for my city pup who needs to stretch her legs! She loved sniffing around, watching the geese fly by, and rolling in the grass. It was a little tricky to find where to go at first, but the owner waved me down the drive. Really nice! Julia E.

55The dogs had a great time. My GPS brought me to the garage/apartment building that you come to first but the field is behind the big house at the end of the road. Clean, open space to enjoy doors. Bench for humansMarilyn M.

55Expansive yard, set back off the road. Lots of room to run and play, or just sniff! Cyndi sent me clear instructions about parking and accessing the space. We will definitely be back!Kate P.

55Great large yard for pups to run in
They loved exploring the yard as well as the wooded area in the back
No trails back there but they can be adventurous sometimes. There is a creek back there as well that the pups tried to get to but looked very steep so we ended up calling them back.
Grass was wonderful for them to run around on as well, yard was also very clean. It happened to be a very beautiful and warm day so it was a nice afternoon we had with the pups. Cindy K.

55Update to my previous review: I tried to edit and resubmit my last review but the app wouldn’t let me. The host sent me a message afterward and was incredibly gracious and kind. She addressed my concerns and made every attempt to resolve them. I’m delighted to say this second time around there were plenty of signs!! Signs to show you where the spot is and where to park. The spot itself is great, my dog has a blast running around the huge field/lawn. It’s hard living in the city where walking your dog means streets covered in trash, glass and traffic everywhere. I don’t trust dog parks either - too many irresponsible dog owners. This spot is such a great alternative. I made my reservation 20 minutes before arriving so she didn’t have water accessible but that’s completely my fault; and plus, I always bring a water bottle or two on outings. Overall this is an affordable, clean, large space for my dog to run off leash. Thank you, thank you!!!Diana S.

55Awesome, large, private area to run and play. Even though not fenced, I felt very safe with my two who are still learning recall. I started with leads attached while they first explored, but felt secure letting them off leash and practicing recall! Thank you, We will be back! Beth U.

55Beautiful, huge long open field with some shady spots for people and dogs as well. It was great for my dog to be able to run flat out for such long distances! and there was an interesting variety of things to sniff around the edges. As stated, this space is not fully fenced -- there's a woodsy area at the far end, which of course is where my pupper wanted to go explore. He has pretty good recall, though, and we got to do some more practice :)
Lovely place, will be back!Lynn C.

55A beautiful, well-maintained, HUGE yard to play, investigate, and run in! We felt very comfortable, and safe. My 3 dogs had a blast! Fresh, clean water was poured and ready. This was our first Sniffspot visit ever - and we will be back! Highly recommend!Judy V.

FAQ about our Johnston 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.
