55This was a great space! Mostly flat, large yard with great patio spaces. Karrie provided bug spray, cold waters, poop bags, and some toys! There was a bigger dog on the other side of the fence, but he was super friendly. We’ll definitely be back!Rachel M.

55This space is awesome! We were greeted at the gate with a basket that contained a nice note from the owners, balls, treats, bottles of water and poop bags. The yard is beautiful and perfectly laid out with a large open field as well as lots of shade so it’s the best of both worlds. The two lovely patios have large and comfortable seating. There is a super sweet big dog in the yard Nextdoor named Duke. We loved him!
We highly recommend this place and will be back soon! Kendall P.

55Ramsey had a blast playing in this yard. It was very very clean and a great spot for dogs to sniff and wonder around. Duke, the dog across the fence was very friendly. Will be back! Riley F.

55Great spot! It does mention the neighbors dog may come out but we did not see it. The fence is see through so if you have reactive dogs as I do, just know this. There are plenty of spots for dogs to explore (trees, bushes, etc). Melanie R.

55My dog loves coming here. I can launch a chuck-it arm/ball at full distance for her to run after. The addition of the spotlights is great as well, makes seeing after dark (which comes early) a lot easier. Always a wonderful host with a gift basket of seasonal treats, toys, and glove warmers for us. Lots to explore, my dog loves running and chasing birds at this cozy spot!Christina W.

55This was our first trip using SniffSpot so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It felt a little weird just walking into someone’s yard, but I got over that quickly. The yard is nice and felt very welcoming. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. It was the perfect size for Willow to run some energy out. We will definitely be back! Kelli T.

55Beautiful big backyard. Our dogs had a great time. Hosts left out toys and treats which was very thoughtful. Neighbor dog did come out to see what was going on. He quietly watched and didn’t rush the fence or bark. There was one area in the fence where our small terriers could have fit through near the telephone pole. But other than that, the fence was secure. Laura G.

55This yard is very well kept in a quiet neighborhood. It was perfect for our two crazy dogs. One of them isn't friendly to cats or small dogs, so he doesn't get walks around our neighborhood. Both of them are escape artists, so we used lunge lines. If your dogs are prone to sailing over fences like ours, you might want to do that, although the fence is solid all the way around. The hosts were very accommodating before and after, checking in with us to see how things went. I definitely recommend!Gina I.

55We absolutely loved this space! Plenty of yard to run around in and although there are dogs in sight they really only bark a few times to let you know they’re around and then let you continue with your business. Only thing to consider is if you have a small dog, some parts of the fence could be crawled under, just something to watch out for but still loved everything about it! Lacy W.

FAQ about our Lexington 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 Lexington?
There are 43 small dog parks in the Lexington 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.
