55Large yard with a secure privacy fence and lots of beautiful landscaping. Very well maintained. We were so excited when we got there and there were treats, water, and hand sanitizer ready and available. The owner also puts a sign on her fence welcoming guests, which was a much appreciated touch as we've felt a little awkward on first visits to other SniffSpots in the past not knowing for certain where to enter or if the owner actually saw our reservation. There were lots of exciting smells from other pets and many plants which was lots of great mental enrichment for our pup. If you have a pup that likes to eat plants, I would proceed with caution here as I'm not sure how many of the plants here are pet safe. The owner has an adorable cat that likes to watch over the backyard from the back door, which did pose a little bit of an issue for our curious pup. Overall, our pup is tired and happy and we are pleased with our visit!Michelle A.

55The personalized sign and treat bag are a nice touch. Yard was clean and spacious. House was easy to find. If you have a very small dog (<10lbs) there are some gaps they could probably get out if they really try but otherwise well contained.Tara P.

55We had a great time with our 8 months old medium poodle puppy. There was a good amount of space for her to run around. Deana's place is very nice, friendly, and personable. We also appreciated the WiFi access. Also, it is in a convenient location near stores, etc.Kari B.

55I can only hope that more people find out about this place and it catches on like wildfire. The hosts couldn't be more friendly and Hank couldn't love it more! He now knows when we are about a 1/2 mile away and starts whining because he can't wait to run around and say hello to the lovely people who operate Max's Playground. If you're a dog owner who is deciding where to take your dog, look no further. Max's Playground is the bee's knees. 2nd place is so far away, wherever that may be, should just give up. A+++ Get to Max's Playground. John O.

55This was the best experience I've ever had with my dog, Minnie! She loved the freedom to roam, lots of spots to sniff, and enjoyed investigating the chickens and ducks.
We both took a nap when we got home and she's tuckered out in the best way. We'll certainly be back and bring some friends!
The hosts provided water, towels, hose, poo bags, shampoo, and probably a few things I've forgotten! The swings and water spot were very appreciated to rest and recover before heading home. Megan C.

55100% a wonderful place to take your pet. We will be coming back and hopefully often. Our dog and people reactive boy absolutely loved being able to run about without the worry of having those issues. It is a beautiful place and our dog had the best time. Also the fact that they donate their proceeds to local shelters just makes it even better. Great people as well! Krista L.

55Another perfect visit. Mr. Hank had another perfect trip to Max's Playground! Not only does he love going, I do as well. The serenity and calm of Max's Playground is wonderful. And again, the hosts of this SniffSpot are wonderful. To say the hosts are kind and hospitable is a serious understatement. I am so grateful to have found this place, for both my dog, Hank, and myself. Hank is not the only one that looks forward to these visits. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you so very much! John O.

55We just had our very 1st trip to Max's playground, and our dog Chapo, and my son's dog, Vani, had the BEST time! The trails are great & the land itself is beautiful! They have fresh clean water for the dogs to drink. Delbert has it set up with poop bags & trash cans throughout, & also a place where you can give your dogs a bath, if you like! We will definitely be back on a regular basis! Marie G.

55Hank and Jude our 2 dogs had a great time at Max's Playground in Lafayette. They were worn out when our hour was up. Hank didn't want to leave. My sister and I enjoyed walking the paths as well. There were plenty of resting spots for humans, plenty of water for the dogs, and it was very safe for all. We will defiantly make this a much-visited place with our pups. Dilbert was very nice and hospitable. I could not download the pics of the pups but their tongues were hanging out and smiles on their faces when we left. Thanks Delbert. I couldn't hear another dog barking until Hank went on the porch at the properties house. Hank wanted to stay. LOL Candy P.

FAQ about our Arcadia 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.
