55Big yard, with trampoline and seats and toys for kids! They had fresh water available too in the dog bowl. The lake is super covered in algae so bring towels for your car but outside in my dogs not really wanting to swim in it the yard was perfect for them to burn off some energy. L D.

55The sniffspot is in a secluded area with a beautiful pond and porch area. Has a dock that is about a 8ft+ drop to the water so not ideal for dock diving but still a very fun place to take the pups for a swim! Kathryn T.

55This location is what Sniffspot dreams are made of. It is far enough away from the road to feel safe letting dogs off leash, and while there is no fence, there are visual barriers with the edge of fields. The hosts welcomed us as if we were friends, and provided everything they could to make us comfortable. We and our dogs had an amazing time! Rose A.

55This sniff spot was incredible! I had been looking for the perfect swimming hole to cement my golden's love of water and this was the perfect setup of a easy transition into the water from the shoreline, clear and calm water, and plenty of green space to run around nearby. We had a great time and are sad that we found this so close to the end of the summerkelly d.

FAQ about our Hillsdale 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. 86% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hillsdale area are 5 stars.
