55Lovely wooded environment for both parties, dog and human. Peaceful in the wooded area. The minute my dog entered the fenced agility yard her nose was down sniffing all the scents the yard had to offer, and she loved exploring the separate fenced wooded area. She enjoyed running up the sloped hill in the wooded area and exploring between the trees, shrubs and rocks.Martha K.

55This place was exactly as advertised! We definitely needed all of our 90 minutes to fully take advantage of everything. The setting is lovely, the views are great, and our pup loved everything (except for the teeter totter, which I’m sure she’ll get used to after some training). Five stars for sure!Collin R.

55We had the most amazing time. The hour flew by. We were able to use the agility course and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our dog also loved the big kiddie pool. He loved absolutely everything. We will definitely be back. Alicia W.

55Just WOW! What an incredible space. Melissa’s place is so well thought out. From the secure fencing everywhere to the toys and water, place for poo, and a place for the humans to go too! Our pups had an incredible time exploring in the woods, running around, and sniffing everything. This is truly a gem! Kelly K.

55Our puppy was in PARADISE! Fully fenced in with no chance of escape. He loved running through the woods and doing all of the agility equipment. It may have been the best day in his little 1 year of life so far. We will be back. Emily N.

55I was late because my puppy gets car sick and puked in my car 😭 Had to stop to clean it up. Melissa was gracious enough to give me a bit of extra time to make up for it. The dogs enjoyed the play equipment and had a great time. Thanks Melissa!A R.

55Slice of heaven. Absolute solitude. Our 3 dogs got worn out in an hour between the agility course and walking the trails. Fence is high and didn’t have to worry once I got there about the dogs escaping. Didn’t see or hear any other dogs at all. Also loved the chairs placed about would be fun to chill and let dogs run around. The toys supplied were also awesome. They’ve thought of everything :)Ashley O.

55Another wonderful visit to this SniffSpot! The hosts, as always, are the kindest and most thoughtful. Lots of snow on the ground for the dogs to romp through. No problems accessing the space or walking around the space despite the snow. Kelly H.

55Such a cool spot! Mostly snow covered but definitely walkable and my dog loved running around in it. On cold days dress you and your dogs warmly! Melissa was very informative and helpful with that and everything else. Definitely interested in coming back for all the other seasons too!Ashley V.

555 stars from both my dog (Brody) and I! Brody had such a fun time running around in the snow and in the woods without a leash. He had plenty of places to explore, things to sniff, and lots of room to run around at top speed. The agility equipment was also a massive plus. We will most certainly be back! Jennifer K.

55I would give a million stars if I could. Ample space for dogs to run around - and my dogs absolutely loved the agility course. Make sure to bring lots of treats to get them to run up and through all the equipment!
Make a trip of it if you’re coming from Denver. We stopped by Nederland before hand - it’s an easy 15 minute drive from there. Absolutely beautiful drive through the mountains up and down.
Highly highly recommend - we will most definitely be coming back!!Adam B.

55Sunny had a blast! He can’t be around other dogs or people off leash due to reactivity, and this was literally the perfect SniffSpot for him. I don’t think he wanted to leave! One thing to consider is the road leading up has a big hill, so be careful in the winter if there’s a lot of snow and ice. Other than that it’s an amazing spot with loads of toys, water, and plenty of space. It meant a lot to us for Sunny to be able to run so freely without worry, especially on his birthday! What a cool spot. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your space. I wish we lived closer but we will definitely be back at some point! Malinda C.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and we had a wonderful time! The fencing was very secure and the terrain is steep, so it was perfect for tiring out my husky. Kathryn R.

55This space is wonderful and we were having a great time on Christmas Day. 15 minutes after we arrived, we had to leave because my dog tore her dew claw with her joyful zoomies. But, we will be back when she is healed. This space is wonderful.Jess M.

55This place is our favorite sniffspot. The dogs love love running in the forested area, playing on the top notch agility equipment, fresh water, bowls, toys, so much I’m probably forgetting some thing. Mom and dad love the amenities for hoomans, a bathroom, sink, chairs, and more. We love coming here. And on top of it, the host allows our foster pup to come with a major discount, free. Which is such an amazing help for us since we have multiple of our own dogs and multiple fosters. The discount allows us to be able to come more often, which the pups and us love so much. Jen M.

FAQ about our Black Hawk dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How can I find dog agility parks in Black Hawk?
There are 12 dog agility parks in the Black Hawk area. The most popular dog agility park is Mountain Paradise. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
