55This is an amazing sniffspot. It was my first time using sniffspot and boy was it an amazing experience. The yard is big enough for any dog to run around and honestly may actually be bigger than the towns dog park. My girl had a blast actually running around and I didn’t have to worry about her getting distracted and running off because of the fence! I definitely recommend this place if you are in town or just passing through Jenil B.

55There should be more stars to rate this place!!! I am so thankful she has provided this sniff spot for dogs. My dog was super happy the entire time we were there. Definitely a major change in him when we arrived home. He wore himself completely out! We will most definitely be taking advantage of a membership here

55Today was our first time using Sniffspot and we regret not using it before now. Our dogs had SO MUCH FUN! The yard was huge and very well kept. There were water bowls and some dog toys out, along with agility equipment for our dogs to use. The fenced in yard was perfect to allow our dogs to run around safely and tire themselves out. We will definitely be back!! 10/10!Tahairy L.

55Always wonderful spot to visit. Fence is strong and tall, helps with my one 90 pound girl who likes to jump fences. No getting out of here! Great place to meet family with all their dogs to run around at once due to the large size (almost an acre fenced!) HIGHLY recommend! Faith G.

55We LOVE how big the yard is - and that it’s got a privacy fence. With the toys that were left out we learned how much better a kong frisbee is compared to the frisbees we brought. Our pups love playing in the yard and sniffing about. 🐾Bonus points for the cute benches and swing seat for us to sit on between the pups breaks. 💕Maggie L.

55Our first visit to any Sniffspot and the bar has been set high! Such a beautiful and calm experience. Everything was what was advertised and there was even toys, cool water and ice since it is a hot day. We will absolutely be back and are so thankful for Sniffspot and the Hosts that love dogs as much as we do! Stacey W.

55The yard was perfect for my dogs to run. They had a great time being able to run and explore and I enjoyed the security. They had water bowels and toys for the dogs as well. We will be making this a regular visit. Don’t think I’ve seen my dogs smile so big in a long time! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your yard! Kristine M.

55Location was easy to find and just as described. Yard was large, freshly mowed grass, fencing secure. Fresh cold water was out for the dog, and even at 1pm, there was a nice shady spot to sit while the dog played.
I'm looking forward to coming back!robin h.

FAQ about our Joplin small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Joplin?
There are 16 small dog parks in the Joplin area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
