55My daughter recently returned to Illinois and happened to laid in place less than 4 miles from Laura’s, so I had to introduce her. My Saluki really didn’t want anything with the pool, but the Golden didn’t want to leave, not even for a treat. We will definitely be back!Ginger J.

55This place is simply amazing! Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed their time here sniffing around and playing in the big open area. There’s lots of room to run, things to sniff and toys to play with. Our Goldens were passed out within the first 5 minutes of our ride home. Can’t wait to come back for some swimming in the summer. Thanks Laura! Paulina G.

55Very easy to access, all areas of the fencing was closed off didn’t have to worry about anyone escaping. Lots of toys for the doggies to play with and fresh water was provided. The dogs had a great time as soon as we got into the car they all fell asleep. Wonderful Sniffspot will definitely be coming back soon and telling others about this location. Thank you Laura for letting us use your yard we greatly appreciate you! Diana C.

55This is the best spot for dogs to safely stretch their legs! I took my boyfriends two dogs. They live in an apartment currently and miss having a yard of their own. This was their best day ever. Chelsea R.

55The yard was clean and the perfect size. The dogs had a blast. Absolutely beautiful. I will say, there was a hawk flying above, so just keep an eye out if you have teeny tinys just in case. Michelle H.

55Spacious yard with a shady spot or two. Yard exceeded my expectations for cleanliness (I only saw one pile of preexisting poop); yard was otherwise spotless. I didn’t see a place to put poop, but perhaps I missed it, or instructions were written someplace that I missed. Otherwise, I look forward to coming back. Easy access. Great communication. Jordyn W.

55Once again had such a special time here! My boy Goose is dog selective & I’ve been doing slow intros with a pal & their dog, and today they finally got to have some off leash time together! They had so much fun, & did some adorable parallel play, that wouldn’t be possible without safe off leash freedom! Jenna M.

55Wow! What a great time.
Laura was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The entire space was beautiful and clean. This is the first SniffSpot where my big boys were actually exhausted before the hour was up. Big win! Tamar E.

55Wow!! The best $10 (x2 🐾🐾), I've ever spent! (Which the owner of this snifspot donates to the local humane society). 💜 The fenced in area is WONDERFUL & so secure. We have 2 dogs, a large & small sized each. Our little guy is a fence jumper & escape artist, & though you could see he was casing the perimeter for everything "greener on the other side," he stayed within the fenced in area, as it is actually double fenced, with no gaps. That was a relief for me. The best was seeing our big girl run FREE!! She is 10, & I worry about her living her best life. She doesn't get walks as often as I'd like, because she gets triggered by bigger dogs & bicycles. I can't chance walking her alone. Her exercise has been more limited than any dog should have to live with. Snifspot is new to us, & our experience today was a true godsend. It warmed my soul to see our big girl & little guy run their hearts out on 3 acres this evening! We watched them run & play, explore & sniff out every inch! The owners had everything! A place to dispose of doggie doo, a watering dish, seating if wanted. The area & setting is so beautiful & peaceful. You wouldn't even know that they have dogs themselves. Toys & balls were provided too! We actually came earlier than we thought, so as we waited at the end of the drive, we noticed a very nice walking path. We parked & took a little walk until it was time, & that was nice too! By the time our hour was up, our pups were exhausted & ready. I wish we could do this every day... It was so wonderful to see our doggos run free & loose & wild. I can't tell you what it did for my own heart. The owners are earth angels to offer such a thing. It was a great opportunity for us & we cannot wait to book again soon. I have so much gratitude for this new experience for our pups. Thank you! Kristin E.

55Awesome area for our dogs to run around. We have a husky and a half Belgian malinois who need to get their energy out and they were tired within 20-30mins. We will definitely take our dogs here again! Area was clean, fresh water, and plenty of toys. Rose N.

55Loved this Sniffspot! Laura was an amazing host. The spot is beautiful and our 2 pitties had such a great time! Tons of toys for them to play with (RIP to the stuffed monkey 😬) we'll definitely be back (especially when the pool's open so our water baby can take a little swim!!) Also note: our dogs are dog-aggressive (towards other dogs, not each other) and stranger-aggressive and this was a great spot that worked for them. So if you have a rescue pup with quirks just know that this spot may work for you! I'm so incredibly thankful.Kavitha M.

FAQ about our Scott Air Force Base 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Scott Air Force Base 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 149 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
