55Great spot to run around in and explore! On a warm day there is shade from the wooded area as well. We had so much fun! The gates to the deck make it less stressful for you if your dog likes to head to the sliding doors. You can see neighbors next door but they were very sweet and patient even with my barking dog. I can't wait to head back! Holly F.

55Such a nice place to let my dogs run around. The yard was clean and well taken care of. They loved zooming through the woods in the back.
There are pet ducks next door that my dogs could see through the fence. Brianna A.

55Very clean. The grass is sparse so I wouldn't go after a lot of rain. As she says, it will be muddy. Dogs loved the wooded area! There were some ducks next door but they were barely visible.Kathy U.

55My large breed dog Bailey had a great time today at Nicole's spot. The yard was spacious, with plenty of room for him to run and play. The section of woods down back was a great bonus area for Bailey to sniff and explore. It was private, comfortable, and clean with plenty of fresh water which he very much enjoyed! Thanks Nicole!Stephanie Y.

55Great yard! Perfect size for getting some energy out - my boy enjoyed sticking his head in leaves, running, even running up and down the ramp (which he has no experience with, as far as I know). Once my pup noticed the ducks (which ARE quiet, as mentioned in the listing), he decided they were more interesting than anything else and started barking a bit. Since it was raining and he seemed pretty done anyway, we headed out to avoid being annoying. Absolutely worth visiting, will probably come back again at some point. I wish we lived closer!Jenna E.

FAQ about our Lawrence 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lawrence area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 306 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 27 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
