55Very pretty property, very dog friendly. There's a forested area with paths and a huge pond with frogs, fish, and other interesting moving critters. There is a dock for dock diving and an agility area. The fence is sufficient for most dogs except for tiny sausage dogs like mine (he is 6lbs). He can fit through 4 inch wide holes. The host will be shoring up the holes for the future.Megan M.

55“Most wonderful place
on Earth” - Gus and Chip
My boys thought they were in hound dog heaven! We loved everything, from the agility equipment, to the wooded trails, to the pond, but the SNIFFS…those were the absolute best! The hounds enjoyed thoroughly sniffing and inspecting every single surface on the property. As city dwellers, we so appreciate these hosts for allowing us the opportunity to “hound dog” around. Already booked our next visit! Erica F.

55Maddy had the best time visiting Barkov Park for her Gotcha Day!!! She got lots of sniffs checking out all of the grassy areas and had a blast going into the water at a variety of different spots too. I did want to try the agility equipment but Maddy wasn’t in the mood for that. There were a couple of muddy spots, but that’s not surprising considering the rain we’ve had lately, and this was mentioned in the listing as well. The spot was very clean and I didn’t have to worry about Maddy eating anything she shouldn’t, and there was a trash can and some scoopers by the entrance as well.
There was a construction site next to the spot, which was mentioned in the listing, but it didn’t bother Maddy at all other than every once in a while pausing at a noise. I could see a few houses but the way the fencing and landscaping was, Maddy couldn’t really see much and was only interested in looking at “her” car when she looked out the fence.
We’ve visited a few Sniffspots before that haven’t worked out, ie. the chickens weren’t actually secured, or there were actually visible neighbors and their dogs. Jackie was super great communicating any potential issues, such as a snapping turtle which had appeared this morning, and describing how the chicken coop was situated and everything went really smoothly from my perspective as well! I did end up keeping Maddy on her long line, which was my plan, as she can jump really high if she’s really trying to go after something. However I didn’t see any spots where she could’ve broken through or anything like that — height was my only concern.
We will definitely come back! I’m so glad to have found this spot — if you have a dog who is reactive to anyone and anything, this is definitely a spot to check out!Rebecca F.

FAQ about our Plainfield 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Plainfield area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 108 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
