55We had such a fun time! Very large area with a basket of toys. The host was very hospitable and there was even some treats for my pups and myself. It was so sweet! My pups loved seeing all the chickens and goats and they also loved smelling all of the flowers. I would definitely recommend and come again. 😁Eli Z.

55What a wonderful urban oasis! We had an early weekend time slot, and aware of the possible loose chicken or rooster. We saw a coulple roaming around before entering and messaged the owner, who responded and came out within seconds! She was super fantastic and helpful and lovely. The pups had a wonderful time and it was beautiful to see their curiosity with the goats. The space was huge with plenty of room to run around and explore! Will definitely be back!!Atlas M.

55Very nice space with plenty to sniff for a dog that likes to explore! The hosts had set out a kiddie pool and sprinkler too. They gave me a heads up that there were guests who had a tent in the yard but would be away during our time slot, so this wasn't a problem at allPerry F.

55We loved visiting Nicky's farm! The fences were secure all around and the dogs did great with the animals. The train went by a few times, and around the end of our visit some folks walked by the entrance but I redirected my dogs quickly. It's such a unique place and I appreciated Nicky's communication with us in planning a people-free visit for our not-always-friendly dog. They had so much fun playing and we enjoyed looking at the goats and chickens :) Your standard farm items around, so if you have a dog that may be into eating random stuff, take some caution or use a long line but otherwise a really great space!!!

We had the best time! I kept my pup on a long 20 ft leash to avoid certain areas I couldn’t easily access and to prevent any chicken/rooster casualties. There was SO much for 🐶 to explore. The goats were amazing, and the roosters/chickens kept my 🐕 more than occupied. We will definitely be back!
Thanks so much, Nicky, for being so communicative and accommodating!

55Nicky's Urban Farm is a standout Sniffspot! This charming little farm in the city offers a unique experience for my dogs, who love watching the goats, playing in the baby pool, and exploring the spacious yard. Nicky is fantastic—very communicative and welcoming. The goats and chickens add a peaceful, farm-like atmosphere, and there's a lovely farmhouse table, string lights, and a fire pit. Parking and access are easy, making it a convenient and delightful place to visit. Highly recommend it for a fun city escape with your dogs!Kate S.

55Amazing space, the host is very sweet, kind and generous. You get to see farm animals and play with your dog at the same time. Definitely recommend for a bit of exercise, a group of friends with dogs or a family picnic. Siobhan S.

55Oh. My. God. Doggy wonderland, that's Nickys urban farm. So much room, my 5 dogs had plenty of space. They loved the goats and chickens who were so passive and used to their barking and nonsense. We will be back, no doubt!!Sydney F.

55A very unique spot with the goats and chickens visible (all are behind fences/in pens). It was definitely entertaining for our dog. The yard is big so plenty of room to run around. One word of caution - if your dog likes to get into stuff, the yard has plenty of spots to hide and root around. So just be careful! But definitely will be back. Beth M.

55Nicky’s place was amazing. First off, her personalization & attention to detail was so welcoming (loved the sign, & appreciated the cold water she left out!) I got to meet her briefly, & she was so kind to me & my pup. Kenobi LOVED the farm! He barely ran around because he couldn’t stop looking at the goats & chickens, which tired him out more than a full hour of play. Nicky had plenty of toys out including a splash pool — so much to explore. We will absolutely be back soon!Laura S.

55Evie loves this place! There’s so much to smell and she loves seeing the goats and chickens. At first I was worried it would be too distracting and she would bother them too much but she alternates between checking them out and then playing with the ball and sniffing around. Street parking right in front. Great sniff spot! Rachel W.

FAQ about our Lyons 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lyons area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 379 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 50 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
