55This was a nice little yard, the fence was fine. We could see a very nice black lab two yards over. It's a smallish yard, but just needed a safe place for my reactive dog to play for a bit, and it was fine for that.Tamara S.

55Great yard! Great communication with homeowner. My girls got plenty of new smells and enjoyed exploring! They played in the pool a bit, but mostly were just nosey dogs checking everything out! Thanks!!!Sara J.

55My dogs had so much fun with the splash pad! Nice, clean yard and some toys to play with. We did see neighbors out in their garden but were there in the evening when it was less hot out, so I’m not surprised. Kelsey H.

55The yard is spacious and clean. My dog had all of his favorite things: toys, treats, pool, sprinkler and room to run! This will be on our list of favorites to revisit. Melissa O.

55Nice space! Very clean. I missed the info about the deck but it wasn’t an issue for us. A note to add is the yard is under the flight path. We’re having some noise fear issues and surprisingly this didn’t bother my boy! Loved playing fetch and great selection of toys.Sonja D.

55A big, open yard where Chef was able to get plenty of zoomies out. The area was pretty quiet while we were there, with only the occasional plane flying above. Beth L.

55Beautiful space, securely enclosed, and quiet during our visit — my dogs loved this place! They were excited enough about the new spot that they did not venture under the deck, though I took note based on other reviews.Julian E.

55This was a nice spot. Plenty of room to play with the frisbee and just for my dog to run around in general. We didn’t see any other dogs or humans.Lemon M.

55My dog was adopted two months so I’ve been working with a trainer. My neighbor and I wanted to introduce our dogs to each other in a safe space. I’ve been working with a trainer to support my dog’s transition. I connected with Laura to see if she was okay with training occurring in her space and she was very gracious. Being able to use the splash pad was perfect, plus my dog could run under the deck when she needed to cool off or take a break from running. It was the perfect space for this and the dogs had a great time chasing each other! Thank you!Pat C.

55This is a great hidden spot! Be sure to follow the owners directions on how to get there, or you will get lost. We had a great time. There's lots of tall grass and shrubs to sniff around in and plenty of room to run. There's a chicken coop, if that might be a problem for your dogs. We had to spend some time learning how to behave around that. One dog felt like barking at them was a good idea and the other kept poking his feet in the pen and then got upset when they got pecked. Sheesh. No chickens (or dogs) were harmed, but I did not expect that to be an issue. Silly me. Still, a good time had by all. Tamara S.

55Easy to follow directions plus a sign help you find the place. It’s a really lovely spot and I’m so grateful that it is made available! I’ve recently adopted a new dog and he is not (and may never be) ready for a public dog park but needs a bit more room than our yard to get some good zoomies out. This was a great spot close to home to get some proper sniffing and running in. Our dog did get a little distracted by the train but we are working on that with him and the fence kept him secure.

FAQ about our West Saint Paul 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.
