55We had a great time playing in Michele’s yard! Plenty of room to run around and explore. I didn’t even need to bring anything as Michele had everything covered: toys, treats, water (dog & human!) poop bags, bug spray. We will definitely be back!Jaclin S.

55This has been one of my favorite spots for my anxious pup! It’s a big, quiet yard that allowed my girl to stretch her legs and run around. Lots of good smells for her and plenty of shade for an early evening visit. The water, treats, and toys provided were a really thoughtful add on. We will definitely be back! null n.

55We had such an incredible experience at Michele’s fenced in backyard oasis! This expansive property was unbelievable, with beautiful greenbelt views of South Austin. I was genuinely blown away by how much fun our visit was! There was plenty of open space for my two high energy pups to run wild and free to their heart’s content at full speed. We felt very safe and at peace here, without any outside distractions during our stay. There was tons of interesting and varying terrain for my dogs to excitedly smell and explore as well. We visited in the middle of the day, but since the whole yard was completely shaded, we all remained cool for the entire duration. We immediately felt at home, due to the charming personalized set up for our visit when we arrived. This yard is truly a rare gem to find in a location this central and close to our home. We cannot wait to book with Michele again extremely soon! Her communication and responsiveness was top notch, and she also stocked the patio area with plenty of supplies that you may need for both the humans and fur babies. I sincerely appreciated all of the thoughtful touches that enhanced our time here, and sincerely look forward to another wonderful visit in the future! My pups were absolutely ecstatic for such an amazing opportunity to have a fantastic adventure together, and were beyond happily exhausted when we left. We are so grateful that you hosted us today Michele, thank you again :)Cassandra R.

Lots of space for him to run and areas to sniff, and he loved the bucket of balls and toys left out for him to play with.

55This place is a gem! There was so much for my dog to sniff and explore, and a ton of room for him to run and play fetch too.
The host is lovely! There are so many thoughtful touches for the pup and the human. My dog was so disappointed when it was time to go because he didn’t want the fun to stop.
We will definitely be back! Numa D.

55One of our favorite yards in Austin! Highly recommend!! Very spacious, well kept, with lots of fun toys to play with. Host is always communicative and even gave us a heads up within the cancelation period that the yard would be wet/muddy after recent rain! We chose to still go and they provided towels for us just in case. Will be back! Sydney H.

55Great spot for running, Frisbee, fetch. Nice porch for doggie breaks. My lab puppy had the best day of her life being able to run free, with no other dogs, no squirrels, or humans which she is afraid of and stresses her out. We will be back!Carol M.

55My two dogs had a great time. Clean, wide open backyard with lots of room to run and play and somewhere for us to sit. The instructions were clear and it was easy to park. We could hear a neighbor’s dog barking but only briefly and for us that’s not an issue. I’m grateful for a spot my leash/dog reactive dogs can run freely and I don’t have to worry about their safety. I’m sure we will be back! Alison S.

55Big yard which allowed ample room for fetch for my 50-lb dog. Quiet neighborhood, which was also good for my slightly sound-sensitive boy. Host was super kind - I arrived about 15 min late and she offered to let me stay for a full hour. Kelly F.

FAQ about our Driftwood 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Driftwood area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 157 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 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.
