55Very nice space for Joey to play and run. We booked an hour but it was very hot and humid, even at 10am so Joey got tired pretty quickly. They had plenty of cold water for him. And toys!
We will be going back, but not till the weather drops another 10 degrees.Andrea S.

55We had a fantastic time! This was our first SniffSpot and we will be doing more. The yard was large, clean, and well kept. Was very fun for my pups to run around.
There was a small gap in the fencing where my small dog could have gotten though but for us was no biggie to just keep an eye on her and block when needed. Just in case for people who have escape artists.
Thanks! Will be back. Sarah S.

553rd time here with my 4 Dogs. Always clean with lots of toys and bathing stations on hand. Plenty of shade in the open well fenced in field. They always enjoy the large kids pools to cool off in. If you dog likes to dig there is rakes on hand to fill them in. A+ location!Gene H.

55I have 2 dogs, a German shepherd and a cane corso. The open space gave them an outlet to run around and we used the pools that were provided. They also provide toys like herding balls. Our shepherd really appreciated it. Highly recommend this place for people with high energy dogsElizabeth C.

55A couple of great fenced-in open areas with pools, water buckets, toys, wash/bath stations, and shaded areas for rest. My dog loved it, he burned off a lot of energy!Shannon M.

55Perfect spot to tire my dog out before heading out on a 2 day drive. Plenty of toys and amenities. A little mud, but there are spots to clean your dog. My athletic dog had plenty of room to play fetch and run. Brooke S.

55This place is amazing, they have toys, baths, shade and pools to fill up. I am a little nervous with some of the holes just because a dog can get injured if they are running fast but overall a great place and would definitely come again!Courtney C.

55Fantastic spot! Plenty of room to run and lots of toys to play with. My pup had a blast. There were shaded areas in each spot to sit and take a break. I really appreciated the bath area to rinse off after my dog got a little muddy from jumping between the kiddie pool and the dirt. We will definitely be back!Beth K.

55This was the best thing I could have done for my very active Ridgeback! Marvin’s Sniff Spot was easy to locate, set back on a quiet back road (off a 64 in Manatee County) there were 2 large fully fenced areas that had grass and a sand area for digging, or what my dog likes to do, roll in it! There was another smaller area and a long narrow area as well. All fenced, all with access to water and shade. River did not know what to do at first when he realized he had full access to the large lot with no interference! This is a great way for our furry friends to release pent up energy and be themselves in a safe environment without stranger dogs and owners. I want to thank Marvin’s Sniff Spot for creating and sharing this wonderful environment for us all to use! We will definitely be back!
The fee was beyond reasonable!
River is passed out snoring! Now I can get the things done that I need to! lol.
Ps. Don’t forget to bring your “poop bags” Sigrid S.

FAQ about our Ruskin 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 Ruskin 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 292 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 31 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.
