55Poppy's Play Prairie was a great place for our dog to run around. Many different trails and open spaces for him. Great for anyone who wants a space for their dog to be able to run around and play or go on a leashed hike! A great Sniff Spot further out of the cities!Melia M.

55Beautiful place for my dogs to run, they haven’t been off leash much and the trails were so nice! Met the owner and appreciated his offer of the house hose if my dogs took a swim, one jumped in the pond at the end and we appreciated being able to hose him down before heading home. We will definitely be visiting again!Karen F.

55This place is worth every single penny, ever since I got Leo i always felt bad that we couldn't go on nature walks because of his reactivity but now I don't have to worry! Beautiful, big, and clean place with tons of shade and lots of good sniffs, will be back again!!! victoria c.

55This is a great option for dogs who love some woods - we didn’t even make it around the entire loop, my pups were having such a great time in the shady ravine area! We appreciated the picnic table too. We look forward to exploring more in the future - this spot it a bit of a trek for us - it will be a special treat when it works out for us to visit again! Seriously happy dogs and delightful for humans too!
We did briefly hear a dog on a neighboring property, but never saw anyone unexpected.Corinna T.

55First time I’ve been since it was iced over! It was great as usual ❤️
There is a pond and I’m always fearful of blue green algae - if your dogs are prone to jumping in the water be aware - thankfully I was able to wipe my maniac down
Just a fantastic oasis for city dogs Rachel R.

55I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing it is to walk my foster dog Daisy without any worry of running into another dog. Instead of panting, pacing, and staying on high alert with her ears pinned back, Daisy was able to walk relatively calmly and focus on all the sniffs instead of what trouble may lie ahead. Knowing how high of a prey drive she has, I was curious how she'd handle meeting our new pheasant friends, but she just stood there calmly and watched them. My dog Mozzie had a wonderful time exploring too! All in all, this is a beautiful spot, so peaceful, and we can't wait to come back!
I wish I had a big enough property where Daisy and Mozzie could safely explore like this every day, but until that day comes, we will keep visiting our favorite spots. Thank you again for sharing your space with us. :)Ingrid F.

55This was our first visit here and Katie met us and explained the trail system at her property here. The trails were easy to follow and so fun to hike around. It’s a gorgeous spot and it felt like we were at a regional park or something but without worry of other people or dogs. With a reactive dog that is such a huge deal and we’re very grateful for spaces like this! Conway LOVED sniffing around in the snow and we saw tons of signs of wildlife, so I bet he was getting a lot of mental stimulation for the 1.5 hours we were there. Highly recommend this Sniffspot! Thank you again, Katie!! 😊🐶Lauren J.

55Lydia had a great time!! Although there is minimal fencing, the tree line provides a nice barrier. This location is much larger than other spots on Sniffspot—plus very scenic. Would highly recommend!Danielle H.

55Been here twice now and a hit with my dogs both times!! It was a challenge with snow, which is our choice due to go right after a foot snow storm, but my dogs LOVED jumping through the snow. Now we’re all tired. They love the chance to have freedom and all the new smells. I would highly recommend. Here are some smiling pup photos to show how much fun they were having! RAchel L.

55Was worried that it would be difficult to walk with all the recent snowfall but there was a walkway created for easy access. Katie also offered her snow shoes for me to use which was very nice. Overall Lydia and I had a great time!Danielle H.

55Great property to let your pup run and explore. People themselves can enjoy the beauty of the wooded outdoors. The hosts are great and very friendly. This is on our list to visit every so often. Jean H.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot in general. It was a good experience. My girls had a good time sniffing all the smells. They even played a bit, which is rarer now, as they are old ladies now. The yard is fully fenced and huge. It's easy to access and water/toys were available. Even though there was snow on the ground, it didn't really seem to hinder their good time. Communication with host was also very good. Will do again. Heather W.

55This yard is perfect for reactive dogs because it's very hard for them to see through the fence to the outside world. I don't think my dogs barked once the entire time we were there! The yard is very large. My dogs thoroughly enjoyed checking out all of the smells and chasing each other. We'll definitely be back!Heidi B.

FAQ about our Norwood Young America 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 Norwood Young America 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 254 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 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.
