55This is a very nice spot with small creek as the main attraction. My dogs didn’t want to leave it! We spent an hour there and it was enough to wear out the dogs so at the end they just laid down and did t want to move. The place is surrounded by fields with corn, so for reactive dogs that is a perfect quiet location. The fence had some gaps and smaller dogs that are determined to escape might get through, but the host is working on improving the fence. I would recommend reaching out before you book to verify if the fence works for your dog. That are very nice chairs in multiple spots of the park - you can choose whether you’d like to sit in a shade or sun. This is a very nice place and we’ll try to come back again to enjoy it. Elena R.

55This is a great dog park that I'll be using quite often. My dog had a blast here. There's plenty of room for her to run and explore and she really loved the creek that runs through it. I liked that there was plenty of seating scattered throughout the park for me to sit and relax. Since Rock Creek is in the country its surrounded by corn fields and very quiet and serene. I would highly recommend this park to any dog owner.H w.

55It was our first time here and the description was very clear on where to park and where to go. The host was responsive and answered all my questions. The place is beautiful, clean and well kept to walk and explore. My dog loved the creek and running free. I took lots of pictures. It was a great experience and the drive to it wasn't long. We will be back for sure!Barbara Y.

55We loved this spot! Our dogs had SO much fun. It's such a nice big space for them to explore, and of course our Golden had a blast in the creek. And, there's plenty of benches and chairs for the humans to sit and relax too. We met the owner and he was so very kind. We had a great time and will definitely come back.Shani V.

55A lovely view, a picnic table, and chairs for humans. And for the pups- a clean, large, secure, grassy space complete with balls, a chuck-it, frisbees, agility equipment, chickens to gaze at through the fence, water, and water bowls. Plus a milk bone treat as a welcome gift! What more could you want? We will return.Teresa P.

55We love this spot!!
We’ve gone several times now, and it’s always clean, well kept, beautiful country scenery, and secure! The host seems very friendly, has responded anytime I’ve messaged (even to silly questions when I was new to Sniffspot), gone above and beyond when my 5yr old child left his glove behind, and doesn’t come out to chat which would be super stressful for my pups!
My 3 yr Shepherd Mix that I adopted in February had not had much exposure to the outside world. He’s leash reactive, and I learned he reacts to the chickens that roam in the afternoon in the fenced in area next to the dog area here. The host graciously let me know that I could try morning times as the chickens only roam from after 12pm. It was the perfect solution for my pups and we book in the morning when we can.
Well worth the $15! Kelly M.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was great! A beautiful location out in the county, clear indicators where to go, and a nicely mown area.
The fencing is substantial, and the area is a decent size, but allows your dog to be in sight at all times. We had fun trying out the agility equipment and playing with some of the provided toys. There’s also plenty of places to sit while your dog runs around.
My dog tired herself out and had a blast. She also enjoyed the complementary dog biscuit. We’d definitely come back!Erin O.

55This place was wonderful! It was super clean, with fresh water, loads of toys, activities, and seating. The view is incredible. My grand puppy is shy & has arthritis. I don’t have a fenced in yard so it was nice to be able to let her just run and play. And the host have bones to take home as a thank you. Becky S.

FAQ about our Durand 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.
