55Great location! Beautiful meadow, easy to find and lots of good sniffs for my pup. There was a good amount of horse manure in the field, not an issue for my dog but if you've got a pup that likes to eat/roll in it just a heads up! There were also a few really nice barn cats that were watching us in the field, my pup was a bit distracted by wanting to say hello to them, and when she finally did they were lovely and just touched noses (just know it's partial fencing so you'll need good recall if your pup tries to chase cats). All in all a great location, we will come again! Jenna S.

55Very nice spot! My dog loves to chase a ball and run, there were a few gopher holes that I would make sure to watch out for but otherwise it’s a nice spot for your dog to walk and sniff! Tasha M.

55Wilson loved the wide open space to run and sniff. We forgot his ball, but there was a frisbee there to use, which he loved! The owner greeted us when we arrived and gave us a brief rundown of the fencing around the field. The entrance isn’t fenced, but that wasn’t an issue for us as Wilson has pretty good recall and was too busy exploring everywhere else. We’ll definitely be back!Daniella B.

55Well marked and welcoming site at barn dance acres. It was lovely to have access to drinking water for the pup and an outhouse! There are a number of (gopher? Groundhog?) holes, so if your dog is a digger, you may want to consider that. My dog went a bit wild trying to dig for those guys!Linda P.

55Really enjoyed our time at Barn Dance! One of my dogs is reactive to certain people, so this is a fantastic option for those living in the city or on a smaller property to give their dogs room to roam!
The hosts were very welcoming and gave us a quick tour, they mentioned there were some areas that were not completely fenced but I didn’t notice them. It was well enclosed and the property well taken care of.
A cold water hose was available for drinking and hosing off, plus benches for seating throughout the property.
Most of the property is in full sun… there are some corners of the property with shaded nooks, however I would be cognizant of this if you are booking mid-day.
Thank you Roland & Nadine. We will be back!Shell G.

55Great area for off leash walking and play. The land is fully fenced and well kept. A few small watercourses (small creeks - shin height maybe).
Our GSD had an absolute blast exploring, sniffing and playing. Would definitely book againKenny X.

55Such a great little park! Perfect size, very clean, cool little agility area, tables and chairs to hangout, secure fencing! Brought my reactive dog and my boyfriends dog here to introduce them in a neutral space and they had so much fun and got along great! We loved it! My dog did fall through the ice of the creek while trying to get a drink but it was less then a foot deep, but definitely something dog owners need to be careful of if your dogs aren’t so smart… like mine haha. Would definitely book again, highly recommend! Zoe S.

55It was our first time this evening visiting the park and won't be the last! Birdie hasn't had a good run in a very long time because she is reactive to dogs abd people. 15 mins into our run she was tired 😅 but her nose kept her going a full hour! Will definitely be back! Krystal C.

55We’ve been to this spot a few times now and both my dog and I love it. Lots of paths and room to roam. There is a creek so definitely bring towels if your dog is likely to go explore the water. It can also get muddy in some spots so my dog often needs a little towel off at the end. In the spring/summer they have a hose area where you can hose off your dog if you wish. It’s a great place and we’re lucky to have it so close by to us.Josee J.

FAQ about our Cochrane 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?
