55This Sniffspot is so nice! Very clean! Didn’t notice any gaps in the fencing. It’s a nice open field area with some trees and tall grass. My dog had a blast running around. I went later in the day and noticed very few flying bugs like flies and mosquitoes. Some grasshoppers but they didn’t bother us much. Overall, this was a fantastic Sniffspot and a great place if you have an active dog that you want to let off leash to have a lot of area to run Miranda D.

55Our dog Nico really enjoyed exploring this open 5 acre grass pasture. There was a wide path of shorter grass around the perimeter for us people to walk in while Nico ran through the longer stuff. There was some farm equipment along the fence line in a few spots, but everything was orderly so I wasn't concerned about Nico getting caught up in anything. He followed some cow scent trails, found some cow pies and a cow bone, saw some live cows, and saw some wild turkeys, so all in all tons of enrichment for a young city dog. Nick provided a trash bin, hose, and large water tub at the entrance which was awesome. Directions were also super clear and we had no trouble getting there. We'll definitely be back and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a larger, secure off leash opportunity! Sadie L.

55Had a great visit! The dogs loved the wide open space. Definitely wear shoes you’re not afraid to get dirty and pants for the tall grass! Fence was secure.Olivia V.

55Big field, although my dogs didn’t bother to explore it very much! They did have fun galloping around and sniffing all the smells. Next time we come we won’t pick a midafternoon in summer so they don’t get as hot. Having the water there was great. I made the mistake of not wearing the best footwear so remember you’re in a field and don’t do what I did. Genevieve E.

55Loved this spot! One of the bigger sniff spots we have been to, and my two dogs loved to just run and sniff around. Longer grass for the dogs to run through, but there is shorter grass for a pathway to walk along with. There is a water tub up front and trash for dog poop. We will definitely be back !Addie A.

55This is a really nice pasture for walking with your dogs. Lots of open space and gentle hills. Grass wasn't too high, and the dogs really enjoyed exploring the space and running around! The fence isn't super high in spots, but there weren't any visible distractions outside of the fenced in area. We'll definitely be back!Meg H.

FAQ about our Thurman 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.
