Sniffspot's private dog parks are the best way to exercise your dog. We have the best variety and the best priced dog parks anywhere!
Continently located in central Springfield in a quiet neighborhood. You can park in the driveway and walk through the side gate. We have patio furniture, hammock, pool and a fire pit for use. Only 2 adults allowed on the premise with the dog(s). Dogs are welcome in the pool. Please encourage them to exit using the stairs. The pool is 5 feet deep across the entire area. The first step to get out of the pool is 2 feet. I am 5’5 and the water comes up to my chest when standing flat footed in the pool.
12 avail acres...1300ft of creek line, 6 open acres to run (our Great Dane can exhaust himself on 2 full round-trips - it equals nearly a mile on 2 back-and-forth...but my Beagle/Terrier mix can do it 5x over and still go...so...there's that :) ), 120ft high wooded hill overlooking the field and creek, mowed pathway to campsite at Creekside (mowed with a 30ft circular spot), but your choice if you prefer to camp hilltop (unprepared-not mowed...I will guide you there to make sure you know the property boundary) **Depending on weather, the creek may be very low and slow or raging at flood stage...most dogs know better than to get into fast moving water, but it's up to you to make sure they are safe around it. (lifejackets for all sizes of dogs avail but you should bring your own gps tag to put in/on it if you feel it may be wise) There is no clear pathway at the creek, just a path along it's edge that is mostly rock and roots...easy to navigate if you pay attention. Your dog will have no trouble ;) The water is only 12-18 deep in most spots unless it is flooded by rainfall...check with me ahead of time if that's a concern. Fishing is legal with a license but I respect my local Conservation officers and the MDC...and they are welcome here anytime...make sure your "ducks are in a row" before you cast... Beaver, Muskrat, Kingfishers, Darts, Crayfish, Eel, Rockbass, and a general sense of peace exist at this waterline...We have Great Blue Herons nesting in, what else but sycamore trees...DO NOT DISTURB them!!! Grey herons as well but I do not know where they nest. Whitetail deer, turkey, owls, and many species of bird including a variety of endangered species we are trying to encourage. Depending on the season; Scarlet Tanagers, Baltimore Orioles, Wrens, Finches and Buntings of various types, Bald Eagles, Rarely Golden Eagles, MANY Hawks, Buzzards, Cardinal, Junko, Chickadee, Bluebird, Martins, Falcons, and much more... Yes, you can hear the traffic on the highway nearby...but it dulls rapidly esp near the water when it's high and on the hilltop. The creek has a perfect sound when it's running over the rocks!
On quite 20 acre property. 10 acreas out back for you fur babies to run and play! Year round creek to enjoy on hot summer days
