55This spot was excellent.
Enough objects and plantlife to keep my boy sniffing, a VERY nice big open space with plenty of space to RUN.
The neighborhood was peaceful and mostly quiet with a few other dogs in the neighborhood barking and keeping my guy at attention.
No dangerous objects that I noticed, moderate deck stairs easy enough for even a tiny pup to navigate.
I tried to pick a cool day to visit as my dog runs hot always. Turned out to be 80 degrees in October. The house offered a small amount of shade at 1pm, but there isn't significant tree coverage if you're looking for that.
We didn't stay for our full hour, more like 45-50 minutes cuz my boy was just pooped by that point, but we would definitely return in the future!Matthew R.

55This is our favorite Sniffspot! My dog is most relaxed when there aren't any other dogs or people around. I love the secure fencing and extra safety measures taken to ensure our visit is perfect for my dog.Sara A.

55This spot is soooooo WONDERFUL!!! 9 acres to roam and run. It gives me such joy to see my two furs roaming free. And for me to be hands free and strolling along with them without holding on to their leashes is such a gift!! My one dog checked the entire perimeter of the fence and it is fully secure!!!
Very clean and lush!! elizabeth K.

55This is the best Sniffspot! It is clean, well maintained, and safe. I tend to be anxious letting my dog off leash for safety reasons and this is a spot where I feel comfortable doing this and can relax and enjoy my time with him. Have been to this spot before and will keep going again and again! Laney R.

55My dogs had so much fun running around! Unfortunately it's a 2.5 hour drive from where I live, but the next time we're passing through the area I will definitely plan another visit. The area was clean, well marked, and very secure. Lori W.

55Awesome place as usual. Spacious and clean. Some holes, but no big deal. A smaller dog like the one who came with us (less than 15#) might be able to fit through the gate on the side if interested, but she did not.
I liked the new sign for in use/open.Rob R.

55Always a great space. Our pup always has a great time and nice trees for her to cool off in the shade. They are very understanding of reactive dogs and have lots of safeguards to prevent Any interactions or incidents. Also the host is very understanding with excellent communication.

55Best Sniffspot I’ve been to. Even better now with improvements to the parking area. You can’t beat it because of the size. The fence is very secure so that i don’t have to worry about my dog even when she has run out of sight. It’s very peaceful and has lots of trees, so plenty of shade. Sarah S.

55This is the perfect place to let two high energy GSP’s just run off leash without any worry. It is very clean and well maintained. You have a nice trail that leads you to your spot. Kathy is quick to get back to you if you have any questions or need anything. I will come back, we’ll worth it.

55Blaze had a great time exploring all the scents around the property. Blaze and his friend Stella enjoyed running around all the trees and bushes. What a great experience on a Sunday morning. I would recommend giving the Acres a try, Your dog will have a great time. It was a nice walk around for our humans as well. Looking forward to giving the pond a try next time out.Tom H.

55Just wonderful .... best Sniffspot my boy Charlie and I have been to! Kathy's communication and organization are outstanding and I appreciate that she makes safety a priority. The huge area is lush and serene, with so many different kinds of walking/running/sniffing opportunities. Charlie is 12 and usually sticks fairly close to me at a Sniffspot, but at the Acres, he was like, "See ya, mom" and off he went, big smile on his face the whole time. Despite being worn out from his adventures on a warm day, he looked at me in dismay when he realized it was time to go. Oh, and it was nice to find a poop bag receptacle midway through our walk, so I didn't have to carry a bag all the way to the exit. Thank you, Kathy ... we'll be back and we'll try out the Pond spot as well! Donna S.

FAQ about our Lincoln University 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.
