55My two dogs and I had a fun visit to this Sniffspot. The yard is completely fenced and level, with lots of open space to throw a ball or frisbee. It’s in a very quiet, wooded area. The directions were accurate, there were several parking spots next to the gate, and the yard was clean with no hazards. My dogs enjoyed sniffing and running around and came home exhausted. We brought our own poop bags, water bowl, water and balls/frisbees. We’ll definitely visit again!Rebecca B.

55This was our 1st ever sniffspot visit..great way to start! Wonderfully huge fenced yard on a back road backing up to woods with big trees in yard! My doggy loved sniffing, playing frisbee, and practicing her recalls! Amazingly poop free for a yard "owned" by big dogs, and visited by sniffspot dogs & currently some leaves that can easily hide stinkbombs! Chairs & toys available. All 3 of us loved it..hope to come back soon!Jennifer R.

55We loved it. Was slightly farther than I thought but so worth it. A dog’s out door paradise! 🍂🥎 Our dog Bubblegum had so much fun running around, playing fetch and rolling around in the piles of leaves with our son. Very large space, lots of trees & places for our dog to smell and walk/run around to enjoy. Would most definitely come back again. Veronika L.

FAQ about our Highland 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.
