55The field is large and there is agility equipment which was fun to use. There is water and pools for dogs to cool off in. The drive to the field is lovely. There were dogs and horses visible from the field. We went on a hot day but there was an area of shade with seating. We took two dogs, a golden doodle and a coon hound. Our only issue was that there were many plants with small burrs. The coonhound was fine but the doodle was covered. So that’s just something to consider at this time of year. Anne B.

55This spot has lots of fun agility obstacles, as well as two kiddie pools with fresh water for dogs to enjoy. Along with a cooler full of toys. I stopped while roadtripping for my dog to run around a bit. I ended up there at the hottest part of the day, and there's not a ton of shade, but my dog still had fun! We'd stop again if we're ever back in the area. The location was easy to find and all directions were clear.Rebecca-Eli L.

55Always a wonderful time at this sniffspot! The mowed walkways mixed with the tall grass was pure bliss for my dog who loves to sniff and track. The host was very attentive to the property, and was kind enough to change the pool water in-between bookings so my dog had fresh cold water. We love this spot, highly recommend!!Christina W.

55We had a great visit to the farm! My German shepherd mix loved getting to run the length of the spot and darting through the bushy area next to the pools. She was initially a little spooked by the horses in the neighboring field but she's a scaredy cat. We'd probably visit again when it's a little cooler outside as there's not a *ton* of shade and I have my toddler in tow. Lovely spot, very nice hosts. Rebekah B.

55We had blast with our pup Yarei. Pulling up, you could tell she was excited and ready to run! We can't wait to go back and get Yarei acclimated to the agility equipment. Serenity in the name is definitely well deserved.Latisha-Mesha A.

55This spot is awesome. My dogs are anxious and reactive so taking them somewhere private with lots of room to play with was awesome. They instantly started running around, exploring and playing. Would recommend Luis H.

55First time trying out a sniff spot. This place was easy to find, easily accessible, and well fenced in. We had to drop the blue board for my Houdini hound, but it was nice getting to let her run around off leash. My other two dogs had a lot of fun running around and playing in/on the obstacles. We definitely plan to be back! Kara F.

FAQ about our Nicholasville 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Nicholasville 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 105 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 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.
