55What a great run for our lab/pittie mix!
Great long area to play with the Chuck it and fetch. Places under the trees to sniff and rest. And the two pools were so fun for her to splash around in. And grace the host is so welcoming in her messaging.
We will come back again for sure!!Sandy M.

55Grace's instructions on how to get to Mookie's Magic Meadow were very clear and helpful, and the property has good signage to help find all the essentials. Our two schnauzers had great fun running all around and getting good sniffs, and our Oscar went nuts digging in the mole holes :-)
Luckily Grace has a hose sprayer all set up for cleaning the dirty pup, and we remembered to bring a towel (as she mentions in her instructions) to wipe down the wet but happy boy. It was enjoyed by all!Kim N.

55Great place to take your pups to run and sniff. My Great Danes had a great time. There was water supplied and for the humans too. Everything is clearly marked and all the supplies you need are provided. I loved that there was a port-a-potty there as well. It was a bit of a drive for me but well worth it and the potty was much appreciated. No other dogs , animals or people were present which was great since one of my Danes is reactive. Overall a wonderful visit. We’ll be back. Kaylie E.

55Thank you so much for this spot. My dog had a ball. I tried to refill the mole hills but one dig was pretty big. Thanks for being good with the digging, it is his very favorite thing to do -- hunt moles -- and he rarely gets the opportunity. Your space was great and directions for how to get in and where to go were excellent! He had a blast and both our hearts are happy. Thank you!Jennifer H.

55The spot was exactly as described, and our pups had so much fun running around! We have a small dog, and at one point he was able to squeeze under the entrance gate to the yard and ran out, but he was still enclosed in the property so we weren’t too worried, but just something to make note of!Kadie K.

55Very nice space. Plenty of room to run around with my four dogs. Pools were appreciated for cooling off feet after running, and there’s plenty of shade beneath the trees and canopy that’s set up. Chairs and ice water provided by host was a welcome surprise! Isaak Z.

55Always such a joy to say the least! Mookie’s Magic Meadows is the ultimate relaxing and fun spot for my little family. We can be completely worry free from triggers for our reactive dogs, and they just have the funnest time! So do we! Such a beautiful spot to have fun and relax! Natalie M.

55This was a perfect spot to do some long line work with my girl Kali. The play area was large, clean and the grass low. There was plenty of open space to walk Kali up and down the field. One side had trees and brushes, the other side was along a tall fence. While we were there just to walk back and forth with recall, it gave her ample amounts of scents to enjoy. We saw no one and heard no other pets or animals while there.
Grace was very communicative and sent me a message explaining how get onto the property and what to expect in regards to amenities. There are dog toys and two small pools with water for your pups to cool off in and another one with sand. Kali didn’t go in mainly because I wasn’t prepared for it. There is a canopy with a table and chairs halfway down the field for shade and i was grateful for the container of ice water.
The property is easy to get into and I liked entering the main gate that’s close to the road and then driving back to the silver building to park (it’s well marked too!). It provides and extra layers of security when letting your dog out of the vehicle (of course you still need to have your dog on leash from the car to the entrance gate for the field!) BONUS…there’s a porta-potty!!! 🙏🏽 And it’s very clean! After my 30 minute drive I was grateful for the bathroom.
I’ll definitely bring Kali here again. We are still building our connection and confidence with each other (I adopted her in April) and we needed a spot away from other dogs that was safe. Grace has worked hard and succeeded at that. You can tell she wants the pups to have fun. 😊🐕JENNIFER Q.

55Awesome sniff spot!! Great mix of open running space and shady area to explore. Our 3 pups had a great time and we will definitely be back. Fence was secure, area clean, and the owner even left out fresh ice water for us 🥰Molly S.

55We were looking for somewhere to take the pups to get away from the heat and this did the trick! Almost the whole yard was in the shade, there were two pools for them to play in and lots of things to sniff. They had a great time and I'm sure we'll be back! Samantha S.

FAQ about our Dayton small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Dayton?
There are 118 small dog parks in the Dayton area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?
Small dog parks in the Dayton area range from $5.0 and $30.0. The least expensive small dog park is Kristin Hill Vineyard. The most expensive small dog park is Miss Emily's between Banks and North Plains. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
