55I met a friend of mine here so that our dogs could play together. They had such a great time running around, splashing in the doggy pool, and just laying in the sun. I think we'll both be back! Allyssa R.

55It was wonderful! Our dog had a great time, and even though he is a husky that loves to escape, we felt pretty comfortable with how secure the backyard was. Cannot wait to bring him back here! Mrinalini S.

55This was our first time using Sniff Spot and Romy LOVED it!!! As a hound she surveyed the entire perimeter for smells and ways out. She found lots of good smells, but no way out! We will definitely be back. Michelle M.

55Northvale Private Dog Park in Boulder was amazing for our first Sniffspot experience. The yard was clean and had a great patio with lots of options. Toys, great landscape…Pangaea loved the running space. Kristy was quick to respond to messages. Just an overall great time! Thank you Kristy for giving us a spot to hang when we are out of town. 💚💚💚 Laura Jean

55This location is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The yard is well maintained with freshly cut grass and there are a few seating areas if you want to relax. The area is fully fenced and we did not have an issue with it. Our dogs had a really fun time running and playing here!Laura M.

55My dog loved the yard. Lots of things to sniff and explore and plenty of room to play. The balls left to use were nice as well. The fact that the water bowl was partially iced over and didn’t have much water would be my only complaint. We will be back! Lisa H.

55Kristy’s place was really magical. There was so much space to run and sniff. There was even a large trampoline :-). My dog got to run free as a bird and is finally tired. Phew.Meryl L.

55Yard is just as described. Plenty of room for our greyhound to have the zoomies but not get lost. We never heard or saw a dog that is mentioned in some of the comments. The only issue (and this is not the homeowners’ fault) is that people don’t clean up after their pets on the raised area. There was a lot of pet waste there. People, you’re a guest so clean up after your pet! Will definitely come back though! Thank you for letting us play in your yard! Kelly B.

55Beautiful! Our dog enjoyed it so much! He’s a husky and loves the snow, so we went right after the snow and he loved running around! Definitely spacious for your dog to run around and a lot of spots for them to explore! Jessica A.

55Beautiful space where my dogs could safely run around and get out all of their energy. The spot was clearly marked! Having water and extra tennis balls was a great addition! It seems that the previous visitors didn't pick up after their dogs which is unfortunate behavior, but the owners themselves have done a very nice job and we would love to come back.Chandler D.

55My pup spent the majority of the visit sniffing around and it tired him out quick! His favorite attraction was the big tree in the corner. Plus we didn’t see or hear any other dogs! Overall, great visit 😊Cailyn S.

55Easy to find, chairs to sit in, and a really great location in Boulder. My puppy loved rustling in the leaves, finding big and small sticks, and sniffing around the big tree in the corner. Was clean enough for me to feel safe letting him wander without me hovering (minus one poop bag left behind by a previous visitor that I had to wrestle away from him). Awesome play time experience.

FAQ about our Boulder 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.
