55This yard is HUGE and well taken care of. There is no debris and it’s very clean. It’s a great space for a dog or dogs to run free! There is 1 area of the fencing at the entrance that is 3 feet high, I was a little worried about it as i have a big dog that could easily jump over it if she wanted to. We spent our time at the back of the yard away from the low point of the fence. We will definitely being go back! 😊Cindy R.

55Really enjoyed our visit to this very spacious area. The grass was short and well kept and looking forward to more visits in the future. Our 2 dogs had plenty of room to run around.Ian D.

55Amazing place! Perfect for fetch!
In the morning it’s half shaded which is lovely. Probably fun sun in the afternoon tho. Still many mosquitoes. Grass is kept short.
The chain fence is sound. However, a small tan dog barked at us the entire time. But the field is so large we stayed near the trees and my dog didn’t care. But if your dog doesn’t like dogs, I wouldn’t risk coming here. Rachel J.

55Great spacious place! A little tricky to find when using Google Maps, but Gavin sent a message before my time slot with details to easily find this spot. I definitely agree that bug spray is needed when visiting but since I was there early in the morning there weren't too many mosquitoes. This place will be perfect in the fall and winter when all of the bugs are gone. Part of the border is shared with neighbors but we didn't see or hear any other people or dogs during our visit.
There are some dog toys and a water bowl but no water source so bring your own water. Definitely bring your own poop bags as I didn't see any provided and there is a trash can for doggy bags in the dugout. The grass was well maintained but some other Sniffspotters forgot to clean up after their dogs. The yard is so big it wasn't that big of a deal and they probably thought bags would be provided and didn't bring their own.
Will definitely come back here again as my girl loved having so much room to play fetch with her toys.Nicole R.

55LOVE LOVE LOVE this space! We have a reactive dog and it’s so nice to have a wide open space she can safely run around in. And it’s only 5 mins from our house which is an added bonus. Space is fully fenced and a trash can is there for poop bags which we really appreciated. Did not want to have to drive home with a full poop bag in 90 degree weather lol. Elizabeth K.

55Mission accomplished - my 3 dogs are happy and exhausted after running this field for an hour. Thank you for sharing your spot, we will be back!
Highlights: I was pleased to see easy access. With 3 big, excited dogs it can be a struggle to get them all into the same area at once. Here it was easy to back my Jeep up to the gate and guide them the few feet into the field without having my arms pulled out of their sockets.
Garbage can, water bowl, and balls
Completely fenced, even at the 3 foot area my dogs were secure.
Clean - no trash or dog poop
Lots of places to sniff, and my dogs enjoyed going into the vines to explore.
As a response to some other comments: it’s summer in Michigan. Expect some bugs and maybe some goose droppings. Neither one was terrible and are part of going out into nature. Check out the huge dragon flies skimming over the field eating other bugs, or the gorgeous hawk flying over the trees. Super cool.
The berries are wild grape. No, your dog absolutely should not eat them; however, they also grow in my backyard and my dogs have zero interest in them. Just watch your dog and make sure they aren’t eating plants.
The small neighbor dog did not bark and did not get near the fence line, despite my dog’s invitation to interact.
We saw one human minding his own business. Even my man hating protective dog perceived zero threat from him. It was fine.

55The Huskies had a ball running around the field! The shorter fence is really not that short as the doggies never tried to climb or jump, especially with the yellow tubbing. There were no gaps and plenty of shade. Great place and in my area, so I'm booking more visits. Thank You!James A.

55Struggled to find it at first, google maps took me to the neighbor’s property. 🤦 But once my dog and I finally got there it was great! Secure and a huge field. Beware there is goose poop which is inevitable in a field. Definitely booking again!Sidney F.

55This really is a HUGE open space, my working line GSD LOVED getting to run like that! I've never seen him give up and lie down halfway through chasing a toy before... I guess miracles DO happen. (After 45 minutes, that is!)
Lots of goose poop, which might be a problem for some dogs (we were fine!), but that's definitely a seasonal problem and not a permanent issue. Raile L.

55Not sure why people have been reporting cleanliness issues at this sniffspot. Grass was cut, no dog poop anywhere to be found and trash can provided. Securely fenced and my dogs had a blast. 2 piles of branches laying around which is a non issue! We will be back Pia A.

FAQ about our Waterford Township 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 Waterford Township 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 374 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 35 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.
