55If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! This was probably one of the best days of our dog's life. He is very reactive and nervous, so it's been really difficult to find a good place for him to go on walks and play off leash worry free. The second he hopped out of the car here, he immediately tore across the lawn and excitedly chased balls and frisbees. There was plenty of space for him to run around - and for our toddler to run around, too. We also appreciated that there was a hose to refill dog bowls, lots of great toys, and places to sit and rest in the shade. 45 minutes in and all of us were in a great mood and completely tuckered out. A good day for a good boy! Alison K.

55This is such a great spot! So much room to run, places to sit, toys, and even snacks and drinks (for sale, at a very reasonable price). The fence is solid and you can just drive right in to the area.
I learned of SniffSpot only recently and this was my first time trying it out. My dog, Hildi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better time! She ran herself tired and slept all the way home. Felicia D.

55I have been a frequent visitor to this wonderful Sniffspot. It has everything I need both for my own dogs, as well as client dogs for doing training set-ups. The spot is well cared for, with comfy places
for humans as well as dogs. Thanks to an attentive host, Nancy. Penny L.

55We LOVE Pepper Road Playpark! Nancy keeps it mowed, which is super appreciated during tick season. It's stocked with toys Bianca looks forward to and has nice human comforts. Water is easy and there are wading pools for hot days. And a covered spot for the rainy days ahead.Miel L.

55Elli my pitbull had a wonderful time! The minute she got out of the car she raced around. Then she fell in love with the big blue ball. Emma my Boston terrier mix isn’t a toy dog but she just explored everything. My big takeaway from this being the first time was realizing we were going to come home and need a bath. Nancy has so many thoughtful touches with toys, different areas, plenty of places to sit in shade or sun. Looking forward to our next visit Thursday.Alice L.

55My wife and I -- and most importantly our pup -- really love this Sniffspot: lots of clean space to roam and play, grass well trimmed, everything properly fenced in with no gaps, lovely surrounding views, nice shaded spot to sit down, plenty of toys and running water for the dog, and the drinks and snacks for a small donation are an especially nice touch during a visit. Will definitely be back again soon!Sunil S.

55This was a perfect spot for us! Most Sniff Spots do not work for us because my younger pup is very reactive. I am very grateful for this spot. Thank you!Shawn B.

55This is a great spot! My dogs don't chase balls but there was plenty of space to run and explore. Nancy has tried to think of everything to make your visit fun and comfortable for the people and the dogs. She even has thoughtful little touches like a blanket available for cooler days. My dogs have voted and it looks like we will be back. 👍Jenner Y.
