55We loved this spot! Totally private and no dogs or wildlife (aside from the occasional bird) in sight. My dogs loved the tennis balls and kiddie pool, and they were SO excited about how much space there was to run and get their zoomies out. Entrance was super straightforward and easy to find. 10/10 will definitely be returning! Wendy G.

55We almost want to keep this space a secret because it’s SO amazing. It’s so reasonably priced too, we are planning to visit a lot more! Our two resident dogs and foster dog had a blast today getting their zoomies out and escaping city life. They had so much space to run around and loved playing fetch. I forgot to take photos, but if you visit The Rescue Crew on Facebook, they posted a video of our foster running around there today. Tara, the host, is so kind and thoughtful and has truly thought of everything! We can’t wait to return! 🐾Torie C.

55 Very secure ! My two reactive dogs loved this space outside of town. It's not far from minneapolis and super private. It was a huge space completely fenced in with a dog pool, water and toys to play with along with a sitting space and bug spray /sunscreen for the humans. Karlee G.

55Big beautiful and private space for my dogs to run and play! I’d recommend bringing a picnic blanket if you go on a beautiful day with time to kill like I did, for lounging and soaking up the sun. My dogs loved sniffing around the barn! Can’t wait to return!Leah T.

55It was a warm day so I appreciated that there were shady spots in the pasture and a doggie pool and hose so we could make sure our pup didn't overheat. The bug spray, sunscreen, and hand sanitizer were a nice touch as well. Katie P.

55HIGHLY recommend this beautiful sniffspot. Winnie loved all her off leash time sniffing, checking out the barn, running and basking in the sun. It was even hot enough for her to give in to the kiddy pool. We will definitely be back!!Molly T.

FAQ about our Lester Prairie 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 Lester Prairie 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 150 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
