55We had an awesome time with our setter. He loved having space to run around and explore. He covered about 1.5 miles in 30 minutes and left very happy. We will definitely be back. Gabrielle R.

55Beautiful, biggest Sniffspot I’ve ever been to and my dog loved it. No fencing as described, but plenty of room to wander far back and away from the road! Madelyn S.

55NEW FAVORITE SNIFFSPOT! Totally worth the 40 min drive from forest hill in the city. Huge awesome mowed fields with woods and tall grassy areas for the dogs to tromp through. Didn’t see another soul including cars going by which was great for my car reactive dog. I put a drag line on my dead dog and friends dog for extra safety, but felt completely fine letting them run without me holding it. Great visibility. We did see deer tracks and critter poop so having my girls good recall off leash made me feel good. My foster with a high prey drive and selective hearing will have fun on a 100 foot longline in my hand when we come back haha
Will be coming back as much as possible!Hannah F.

55This place is awesome! My dogs had the best time just wandering around and sniffing every smell they could possibly find. One of my dogs is quite reactive and there was no people or animals around that typically upset him. It was absolutely perfect for my pups! My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!Catey K.

55Beautiful place! Wide open fields & clusters of wooded areas. My dog had a great time here, playing fetch and sniffing along the treeline. I could hear dogs barking waaaaay out in the distance, but it didn't trigger my reactive dog. Overall very quiet & isolated. Melissa H.

55Amazing! So much space to run. My dog is the happiest (and most tired) she’s been in months :)) there are deer and other animals on the property so unless your dog has perfect recall just be wary of taking them off leash. Overall amazing time! I’ll definitely bring her backCatherine P.

55Perfect spot for pets to explore! Soo much land you could walk forever. This was the happiest my dog has ever been. Plenty of space to let your dog off leash and not worry about them going to the road. I went in the evening and saw deer and a skunk, which was pretty cool. Will be back soon!Marina S.

FAQ about our Bumpass 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 Bumpass 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 270 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 25 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.
