55I knew before visiting that this spot is well known for having amazing hosts, but MAN that reputation is well earned! They were amazing, friendly, and so wonderfully casual!! I feel like I made new friends, haha! Easily accommodated (and expressed genuine care for) my grandma who wanted to come along last minute and uses a walker & can’t stand for long. The parking was easy, fences secure, lots of space and varied terrain for dogs to run, and sooo many smells! Poop buckets, some toys, and it felt so wonderfully secure. I had zero worries after the hosts explained everything and assured me that nothing was accessible in the barn even if the dogs did squeak in through the farm gate. Yes, there’s horse poop, but horse poop is as harmless as rabbit poop and is great part of the experience for the dogs! We will DEFINITELY be coming back often! What wonderful people and an amazing spot!!Melisa P.

55Our dog had a blast and Rick was very helpful and nice. It's great to be able to access such a lovely fenced-in spot in the country and to give our dog a new experience. Having Rick's dog Bella to run with and meeting horses for the first time were also pluses. Appreciated being able to hose her off after a romp in the pond.Jane G.

55What a great place for the dogs and humans to play! The pups ran and played hard, and enjoyed meeting the horses and Bella, the gracious host Rick’s sweet dog. Rick met us, made us at ease and made great conversation. He even let us borrow a blanket to put in our car for the ride home as the dogs were a bit muddy from wading around the small pond. Happy and exhausted dogs. We will be back. Tim L.

55We had an amazing time at Rick’s spot. He’s a great, caring host and really cares about you and your pups having fun. The four acres is a perfect space to have fully fenced and let your pups run free! He introduced us to his sweet horses, who were totally chill about our pups being nervous and barky around them. There’s horse manure around, which is not an issue at all since it’s a pasture. Just mention it to remind people to wear appropriate footwear. Our dogs had a fantastic time and we can’t wait to go back! Thanks for the fun spot, Rick! Lisa I.

55I think the sign of a good day for a dog is when he or she needs a nap and a bath. After a visit to Rick's (and family) property our Aussie needed a bath and is still napping as I type this.
The property is quiet, clean, and has different features scattered around the property.
Our dog loved finding sticks and running up and down the hill and then paying the horses a quick visit. Then it was time for a drink and a quick dive into the water trough.
Overall, it's a great spot and we'll definitely be back! Stephan S.

55Rick's property has a nice open field for the dogs and also a nice shaded area for the humans to escape the heat. Our pup had a terrific time running, playing, and checking out all the smells. Thanks for opening your property to us Rick and we hope to come again!Josh B.

55This family was so welcoming and gave me all the details about the space before we used it. Even their daughter hung out with me and my 7 month old pup which was really sweet. My pup was a little unsure of the chickens (he never saw them, just heard them) and the horses. But after a little bit of time he was able to hang out while we fed the horses, which honestly was really fun. I can't wait to come back!Ambra R.

55Our dogs always have so much fun romping around the huge property. We have to keep an eye out to make sure they don’t consume any of the “road apples” from the resident horses, but it’s an easy thing to do. Watching them run around in sheer joy brings smiles so desperately needed in these difficult times. Thanks, Rick, for making your place so welcoming, easy and fun for both people and pups!Lisa I.

FAQ about our Sherwood dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.

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.

Dog water parks in the Sherwood area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog water park is Please come and play in my yard.

If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training 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.
