55This spot is so beautiful! Our family brought our five dogs to run around. They loved sprinting through the fields and playing in the creek. Amis and her family were so kind and flexible! We can't wait to visit again. Thank you! Megan P.

55It was a good day! Such an open field. I was confused if I was in the right place but it was great. So much room to explore and run. Went down to the creek and he had lots of fun splashing. Can’t wait to come back! Amy M.

55Creek romp was great fun. Will come again! That was our main purpose for visiting. To be able to splash and run in the water — without worrying about surprise, unknown dogs running up — was a HUGE treat.
Rail fencing is not sufficient containment for small or medium dogs (nor naughty larger ones), so if that gets upgraded at some point, we’ll be delighted and bring friends. Meanwhile, we used long lead and had a blast.
We want to thank Miguel for proactively putting the horse in the stall when he noticed we were having trouble exiting our vehicle. We had no idea our lad would flip out when he saw a horse up close! (Now we know. Another training goal.) Did not expect to see a friendly person walk up and work that magic for us. Appreciated!
Two suggestions for our kind hosts: (1) maybe place a wee Sniffspot sign by the mailbox on the main road & replace the missing address number; and (2) apply a few bits of flagging tape to direct people to the creek expeditiously.
For other visitors, definitely apply your bug juice & tuck pants into socks for the ticks; and watch out for poison ivy. Those are, of course, normal hazards in woody and high grass areas here at this time of year.
Hosts, thanks for a terrific afternoon! We will be back.

55Despite reading all the comments, I did not think I would struggle like I did, so here's my attempt at directions:
When you pull down the driveway, stay to the left and park as you see fit at the top of the drive leading down towards the field.
To get to the creek, enter the pasture that's behind and to the left of the barn (if facing the pasture) - there is a wood flat being used there that you can easily move to enter that field. Then, walk maybe 10 yards in before turning to your left and you should see a horse path leading into the woods, that also leads to the water.
No idea if this is the best or only route or even if that pasture some times contains animals but that's what worked for me!Kelly N.

55Great spot! It was not super clear where to park (we assumed to drive down to barn) or which gate to use to get down to the creek. We went “off road” and then discovered the “trail” on our way back. Creek was awesome for our crew of 8 to chase each other and cool off and there was plenty of shade and gravel shore for the humans to be comfortable. We will definitely come back again! Jessica P.

55Wonderful! Such a beautiful space with thoughtful touches with a welcome station and map, also included water, extra treats, bags, toys, etc. Easy to get to from DC, right off 50. Loved trying the agility course and getting to be near nature. There were horses next door and a few deer outside the fence line. Our girl enjoyed chasing sticks and we enjoyed there were places for us to sit. Hope to come back soon!Rebecca G.

55This property is beyond perfect for getting the dogs out for a day in the sun. Ample space to run around, an agility course if they’re up for it, and even horses next door (which my dog loves to stare out). We’ve been several times now, and plan to come back many more. Lucy T.

55Outstanding spot for dogs to play. Our three dogs had so much fun running in the big field that we didn't even make it to the agility field - next time! We appreciated the clear signage and all the tools and info at the welcome table. Thanks, Marygrace, we can't wait to come back!Sarah G.

55We had a wonderful experience! We only used the biggest area (the field), and my pups absolutely loved it! Tons of room for them to sprint, play around, sniff, and just be dogs. MaryGrace had out buckets of water as well as a kiddie pool that my older dog took full advantage of as the morning humidity started kicking in. We'll definitely be back! Alyssa B.

55We had a great time this morning despite the midsummer MD heat in full swing. We explored the agility area which had some nice shade, and my dogs enjoyed figuring out the tunnel. This sniffspot is way better than any dog park we've found in the area!Alyssa B.

FAQ about our Upper Marlboro 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.
