I have a large yard over 1/3 acre just for pets, squirrels, rabbits, birds, groundhogs, butterflies, and more! I call it an animal sanctuary where the animals come first! Large open lawn where the dogs can run and play. I can accommodate anywhere from 1 to 20 dogs. Fenced in on 3 sides and soon the 4th wall will be fenced in as well. Water, doggy bags and trash are provided. I'm sorry there is no bathroom for humans right now because it is being remodeled. I also board pets for owners who have to travel.

I've been waiting for the perfect spot in Bloomington Normal to join Sniffspot and finally my wishes came true. I have a 2 year old husky with a ton of energy. Unfortunately, I don't have a yard for him to play in so our walks are at least an hour long. It was 90 degrees today and he hates the heat so giving him the exercise he needs is difficult. Words can't express how much both me and my dog enjoyed Erin's place. Cozy chairs, trash can, complimentary waste bag, water and Sausages favorite spot - the puppy pool!!! I couldn't be more happy to have found this little slice of heaven a few miles away. We will definitely be back, often!

This was such a perfect experience! Abel is on the older side so he doesn't have has much get up and go as he once did. Erin's place offered the perfect amount of space for him to trot around as he pleased and also relax in the shade! It was nice to not have worries about other dogs or people getting too close and upsetting him. He was the happiest boy!!

We just couldn't help ourselves and came back again for some off lead fun time! Sausage Dog recognized where we were this time and pulled me excitedly all the way to the entrance. Seeing my boy so happy just makes my entire day ♥️ Can't wait for the next time!

Happy, happy dog!!! He has officially learned "wanna go to Sniffspot?" And goes hog wild when we pull up 🥰 He's all tuckered out now and mom can get some chores done!

Oh! The new outdoor tugs and balls are so fun!!! Sausage came home and passed out hard ♥️ Thank you Erin for the Oasis!

We played hide and seek this time by the shed and he got crazy zoomies 🤣 I love laughing that hard!

We loved our visit! The fencing is nice and high with no escape spots, clean and well taken care of. We loved the toys available, plenty of fresh water, cleaning station, seating, and ease of access. So happy we found this place to wear out our pup while visiting family in Bloomington!

Well that was a blast! I needed to get my reactive dogs out of the house while a repairman was here. Not only did they have fun sniffing and exploring, now I’m enjoying two very worn out pups. Great, accessible, peaceful space. Thanks Erin!

This was my first use of Sniffspot and we enjoyed it a lot! Easy to find and access. Not too far outside town. My dogs enjoyed themselves. It's about twice the size of our backyard and my beagador had fun playing fetch while my staffy mix explored. It's fully fenced, although a smaller sly dog might be able to slink under the gate. My 55lb mutt stuck his head under like he was testing it, but he's the ornery type and I don't think he could really have fit without a bit of digging. (He didn't do any digging.) There is no shade so if it's hot and sunny bring plenty of water, sunscreen, hat or whatnot.

Alexandra L.

Nice little spot felt very private and peaceful. No shade mid-day so just keep that in mind! Hard to see from the road FYI! We will be back a lot :)

Nike & Kea had a cool morning break at Bark & Run's sniff spot before the heat settled in. There was a lot to sniff!

This sport is great! Very clean and peaceful. I love that there aren't any sticks as my dog likes to chew them. Great place to train outside with limited distractions.

FAQ about our Normal 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.

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 Normal area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 28 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

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.
