55The 40 acre lot is our little gem - we visit here a couple of times a week for a good leg stretch and when I need a mental break from city walks. It's become our happy place, and the retriever always protests when it comes time to leave. Teagan N.

55This place is amazing! So quiet and pretty with all the fall colours. Our dogs had such a great time running around and sniffing everything. We will definitely be making this a regular place to take them. No stress for our one dog who has pretty bad reactivity to strange dogs. She could just run and be off leash with no worries. Thanks so much to the hosts!! This place is a life saver for us. The hosts provide a long line if needed and a garbage can at the entrance. We really loved it here!!Nikki O.

55Another great visit! Loved seeing the fall colors and really appreciate the owners' having cut some of the grass in the pasture while leaving some long - the dogs had a great time!!Robbi B.

55We brought a ball for our pup and he had a great time chasing the ball and sniffing around! He’s a tired puppy now! It was a wide open space and we didn’t run into any issues. Very easy directions to follow to get there and park. We’ll definitely be back! Kate B.

55It is nice to have a private place to walk for dogs with out fear of other dogs and their reactivity. Mine are pretty good but with three and unknown dogs makes it hard to manage. Here no worries. Susan W.

55We loved our time at Old Yellers Nature Walk! It was perfect for our pup to run around and play, and we loved that it was bigger than any other dog park rental we found. It was super easy to find as well, and we appreciate there were sniffpost markers so we knew we were in the right place. We will definitely be back, and plan on making this place one of our regular destinations with our pup. Joey E.

55We have two dogs and one is very reactive so he doesn’t do well at the off leash dogs parks. We were looking for a place to bring them to run around freely to play. This had tonnes of space for them. We will definitely return!Jessica W.

55Spring is here and this sniffspot is green and woodsy with lots for the pups to explore. The owners have done great things with the road to the back field - the wire fence has been removed and they've been tidying up some of the underbrush. Highly recommend this location for a nice jaunt. There is a little bit of a pond at bottom of the hill by the entrance, so if your dog, like mine, enjoys the squishy feeling of mud between their toes, you might want to bring a towel...Robbi B.

55This spot was great! There was a lot for our dogs to explore and we saw so many different kinds of birds! This would be a great place to let your big dogs off leash and just run and romp! And there’s fencing along the property lines to keep your dogs safe from going on other’s property!jenna C.

55This was lovely. Well worth the drive for our 2 dogs, 1 of which is a little unpredictable with other dogs. Easy to find. The ground is quite uneven so if you are an ankle roller like me just watch your step and let your dogs have the time of their lives. Sandi W.

55This is the 3 or 4th time I’ve been and it’s been a relaxing walk with my puppy every time! The mowed “pathways” around the back lot were great to walk on! Erica F.

55The spot to park was easy to find and clearly labeled. You pass by some old farm outbuildings to get to the path to the field. The path goes through a wooded area, which was quite lovely. We kept our boy on leash until this point. After the woods is the large field which is hemmed in on all sides by a treeline which the pagewire fence runs along. The field is a mix of cut areas and long grass. Our boy loved bounding through the tall grass. Didn't see a soul. It was a peaceful walk for us, and an exciting mix of zooming and snuffling for the pup. Theres no pathways through the woods, which would have made the space really great. That aside, I know we'll be back again!Brian C.

55First time at Old Yellers. Location easy to find. Our pup loves running free and exploring new areas. She is unpredictable with other dogs at times so this allowed her to enjoy some free time on a beautiful day off leash to run and frolic through the path and field. Very good response time from owner after booking online, and directions and details of the land to explore made our time a ease. Chairs 🪑 to take a break available as well as garbage can handy, and extra long leashes to borrow if needed. Would definitely recommend!Lisa S.

FAQ about our Springbrook 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. 70% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Springbrook 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 8 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 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.
Are there dog agility courses for rent in Springbrook?
Sniffspot has dog parks with agility equipment and/or dog obstacles in or near Springbrook. The most popular agility option is Arlene's Private Dog Park In Alhambra.
