55Absolutely the best place to take your dogs to. What can I say...10 acres of wide open completely fenced yard that is flat with scattered trees for shade and endless room for your dogs to stretch their legs. Doggie pool available with fresh running water so you can provide your buddies with some fresh and cool water. Very therapeutic to just walk the land with my dogs, the only sounds we heard were a few chickens and a peacock. The land is well maintained of any debri and is a mix of grass and sand. We are so appreciative to have access to such beautiful land.Sandy M.

55Unfortunately, I had an emergency just before heading out to Andrea's place. I texted her and let her know I may not make it. Andrea promptly replied, was understanding, and generously offered to be flexible with my arrival time. From booking on, Andrea was delightful and responsive. I look forward to booking (and arriving next time) in the near future. I recommend Andrea as a SniffSpot host.Shannon C.

55Such a great spot to stop at to let a dog run free for a bit on a long drive! Got to stretch my legs too, so double plus!
Booked for 30mins and it was just enough time for Suzie to get back in the car after exploring and running her heart out with a big game of fetch (pro-tip, bring a Chuck It because there's SO much room for dogs to run!) and happily sleep for the rest of the trip to the panhandle. Trying to see how I can work stopping here again on my way home, and as a fun side quest to all future trips, panhandle related or not 😆
Also, Andrea was great! Had a question about the fences and she was super responsive! Made sure not to have the kiddie pool filled so I didn't have to ride for another 4hrs with a wet dog in the car 😅 Suzie can also be a little wierd around people and doesn't like when new people touch her, and Andrea was super respectful and understanding about that when she came out to show us where to go 😊🐾Ravyn B.

55We were camping at Rainbow Springs and needed a place nearby to let the dogs run. Our two Border Collies loved this place! There was shade and plenty of room for them to run and get out their pent up energy. Be sure to bring lots of water with you.Robert B.

55Nice clean & safe area for you and your dogs. Good fencing all around property. Seperate fenced field, clear and level ground. Another fully fenced wooded area that my dogs really loved exploring. Kim A.

55We had a great time letting our dog run off leash! There are two nice, big, well kept grassy paddocks where your dog can play. We were there in the morning, fields mostly sunny with some shade from large beautiful trees. Make sure to bring water for your dog, poop bags(they had some, I just always keep them with me), a ball to chase, a folding chair, and mosquito repellent (the one thing I forgot). The property is in horse country so the ride there was beautiful, we will definitely be back!Merren M.

55This sniffspot was great! Sniffspot sign at the entry so you knew you were at the correct property. We saw no animals or people the entire time we were there. The wooded area was amazing-trees, low shrubs and some dead logs-so lots to sniff. Easy to walk the wooded area too. Fencing was secure. Christa V.

55Very clean and open. Can only see one neighbor but the dogs were very calm over there didn't set my dog selective dog off at all. Entirely fenced in only one small hole but only a small/toy dog could fit through it. Very relaxing place the only thing I'd add is to be able to use the kiddie pool near the horse stable my girl was trying to use it once she ran around for an hour.Tyeonna G.

55Can’t say enough positive things about this spot, myself and dogs love it!
Only negative I could list, it’s not a negative for everyone, it’s the back part may have water or steams running that aren’t clear, depending on past few days of rain and drainage. My curr loves the water and not afraid to get a little wet and dirty that is so satisfying for her doggy needs. My labrabull no so much water excited but loves the extra space to explore and get that sniff on. Both have lepto vaccinations so I’m not concerned about any funky germs that could be a issue if they lick paws or drink the water. Darlene M.

55What a lovely, clean spot for pups to play! I'm in town visiting family and my pup needed a place to run and sniff, and this Sniffspot fit the bill. The shady trees are a huge bonus in this climate. I wasn't expecting the water-filled ditches that my pup went straight for and left her wet and a little muddy, so it's a good idea to plan for that if you have a dog that loves to splash like mine does. We had a great time and would definitely visit this spot again!Christina E.

55This was the perfect little lot! There was water, poop bags, toys, and a kiddy pool. The grass was well manicured and the area felt very safe for my dog. It was also really cool to watch the dogs dock diving nearby. Sarah G.

55The fencing is secure and I had zero attention on my dog escaping. There were dogs and people but nothing they were doing in the distance bothered my dog. In fact, I was excited to see a chiropractor holding clinic for local pet owners and plan to bring my dog next month. All listed amenities were available. I appreciated the owner noticing the smaller space was not working for my particularly nose/scent driven and need to RUN dog. I was allowed to take her to the back pasture where she and I had a blast. Nice people. Shannon C.

FAQ about our Ocala 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.
