55This is my second time back here and I will definitely be coming back! So much open space for the pups to run, and virtually nothing around to potentially trigger any reactivity. Perfect spot!Wendy G.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and had the most wonderful experience. We have a 15 month old Shiloh Shepherd who easily gets overwhelmed by other dogs so this was perfect for allowing him to sniff, run and play without getting stressed. She has many amenities and the space feels private, safe, and beautiful. We’ll be back for sure!Kristi I.

55I want to give this a 1 star rating just so other people won’t find my new hidden gem hahaha! Took my reactive dog here for the first time and we absolutely loved it. Super easy to find! Only a couple cars drove by otherwise we saw no one and no animals! Nice little seating area in the barn with toys and poop bags. As well as a well with water which was great for my dog. Definitely will be coming back!! :) Ellie O.

55This is a great spot for dogs running free, playing fetch and wrestling. They thoughtfully have a basket of toys and water available. And there is both indoor and outdoor seating. I brought my laptop and got some work done while my dog explored, intending to sit at the picnic table but sprinkles changed that plan. Luckily there was a little bistro set in the covered area I could work from. If you are looking for a spot with minimal to no distractions, it is right along the road with some trees as a buffer. But it’s a dirt road and probably not frequently traveled depending on when you are there. Erin N.

55This is our 2nd time visiting this spot, but this time we had a reunion for our former foster dog and her litter! Mama and her 7 pups had an amazing day celebrating their 1st birthday. This location was so perfect for this sort of event - tons of open space so you can easily keep an eye on everyone. The dogs and humans all loved it and the owners were so helpful and accommodating to make sure we were able to host this special day! ❤️Rebecca J.

55Five stars doesn’t do this sniff spot justice. We had been to one other sniff spot but absolutely nothing will ever compare to this one, and we already can’t wait to go back. We moved to the metro area, losing a fenced in back yard where my dogs had a safe place to run and roam. Having two reactive dogs makes for pretty stressful and short walks in the cities areas. My dogs and I were so relaxed and happy at Tara’s sniff spot. I don’t know the last time I saw them so happy and relaxed running, roaming, sniffing, rolling, doing all the dog things. Tara also goes above and beyond providing an adorable basket with toys, chairs and table, doggie pool, water bowls and a picnic table, plus bug spray and sun screen. The grass was cut low which made it so much fun to run around in & the pasture area was so clean!! Tara provided extra directions to make arrival easy & was so friendly even when we accidentally lost a ball 🙈 We had originally booked for a week prior but had gotten so much rain, Tara went out of her way the night before to inform me the pasture was a little extra wet and what to bring if we still wanted to come (like boots, etc) and also had provided us enough time to reschedule if we wanted to as well. I seriously can’t say enough great things about this place, and we can’t wait to come back. We’re not sure if the humans or dogs had more fun! Mikayla M.

55This place was perfect for my dogs! It was nice to have a flat space since one of them struggles with inclines, and they could run and sniff to happiness (which they did). It was nice to cool off in the shade of the barn, and hydrate on a warm day. Will be back!Emma G.

FAQ about our Maple Plain 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 Maple Plain 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 180 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 17 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.
