55We drove from Jacksonville to try something new and had a good time at Magnolia Acres! It was easy to locate and the surrounding Florida farmland provides a lovely ambiance. Parking is very convenient, basically straight from car to gate! As their photos show, this spot is mostly an open field with one nice shade tree near the entrance. Our dogs enjoyed running the fence line and rolling in the sweet grass. This is an especially great space for playing frisbee or chuck-it. Also for training. In my opinion, this is better for medium and large dogs as dogs under 35 lbs could possibly slip through the cattle gate if they wanted. Take your own supplies: water, bowls, poop bags, chairs, and bug spray. There is a hose but we didn’t need it. In the early summer morning, the mosquitos weren’t swarming or even bad, but of course they’re always out there…. This is a fun and safe Sniffspot!Meredith K.

55This is the first Sniffspot we’ve visited since moving to Florida and it did not disappoint. You will need to bring all your own things (chairs, toys, bowls etc.) but the space was great and our five dogs loved it! I would wear close toed shoes and long pants for the bugs though. Lauren G.

55Large grassy area that is fenced. I would not recommend for a small dog in that there is one area that a small dog could climb through. There is not much shade other than 1 tree at the rear of the property. My boy had a great time with enough room to roam and play frisbee. Bring your own toys, a chair to sit in, and plenty of water. Wished there was a hose to rinse off his paws. Susan B.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and to say it was great was an understatement! Our dogs had so much fun running in the clean, open, grassy field. So much better than the dirt in our local dog park. The dogs loved the kiddie pool and the kids enjoyed the swings and climbing tree. We'll definitely return again. I wish we lived here! Thanks to Jen, the amazing host for having us.Nicole C.

FAQ about our Hastings dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Hastings area range from $14.0 and $14.0. The least expensive dog field is PaJo Ranch. The most expensive dog field is PaJo Ranch. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
