The spot is on a horse farm. The dirt floor on the enclosed space is great for your dog to run around. Being enclosed makes it the perfect spot if the weather isn't good.

We loved it! Our dog is fear reactive with other dogs, he's never been up close to livestock. Well, he did great here on hid 30 foot lead, so we could train a bit with him on his recall and some reactivity training techniques. We also let the leash off for a bit. Being this is only a 7 minute drive, we will return again. My boy loves the farm life! The host is very responsive too!

Dani welcomed us as we arrived the property was spacious and our fur kids and fur grandkid enjoyed themselves so much they didn’t make it very long bc it was a little warmer than we had anticipated that day, however they still had a blast! Will definitely visit again!

Bailey and Bella really liked this doggy park. It was fully fenced in and there was plenty of room for them to run around and play. Bella enjoyed watching the cows in the field. The owner was super nice and very accommodating considering how excited my dogs were to be there.

My dog Remi really enjoyed it here. There’s a ton of space for her to run and explore and is safely fenced in. Really convenient as it’s very close to our house and easy to get to.

Michele has a beautiful backyard. It's extremely well kept, secure, and my dogs love it. She was very clear with her directions. Thank you Michele for allowing us to use your backyard!

A lovely fenced acre or so for quiet training and a good romp. The fence is a livestock fence, so not much of a deterrent if your buddy is an escape artist or prone to wander, but the space provides some great country smells in a well manicured yard. We'll definitely come back to work on leashed recall training and hike prep.

This place was absolutely wonderful! Beautiful piece of land and very welcoming. We appreciate the water bowl and treats by the gate. We hope to make this a frequent spot, it's literally 7 minutes from our house. We have a yard ourselves but not as big as this! Our border collie mix pup aired out so much energy. Thank you so much!

This spot was beautiful and super clean. My dogs had an amazing time and we will definitely be back this summer!

Would def visit again, large yard but not too large/overwhelming (this was my pups first time being off leash in a yard) friendly neighbors & easy parking. The host even left out a box of toys for the pups & provided poopy bags.
